Suitable for beginners and pros
Anyone who has played the predecessor of "Skate 3", which will certainly be found here quickly master and may enter not only the higher of the three levels of difficulty, but also choose the cooler low camera position. If you put his first skateboarding game in the console, or be changed from the competition from Activision, then recommended to "slightly" off something and to visit the physics teaching of Coach Frank. Here the basics are taught to you in a very amusing way, especially the timing is in "Skate 3" key. Here it is much more difficult, but also much more realistic than to stand eg for Tony Hawk trick, but is greater then the reward effect. Which is what makes the charm of the game. It is not the skater who jumps 30 feet into the air for hours or grindet on the curb, "Skate 3" it creates really the boarding halfway realistic to bring to the screen. If, despite coach Frank afterwards still be problems in the game, so be in the "Trick Guide" and the "Trick-analysis" pause menu available and offer a little assistance.

What are gnawing something on the realism of the many bright colors. As colorful as it is here in the world out there probably nowhere, but also interferes only slightly, because that's what this does right summer feeling on what the mood improves on skating. It would be nice one more day / night cycle, or a weather reversal, really miss but this is not done. The setting is as always as a thing apart. The boarding itself was really well captured and displayed as one might imagine, however, the German Synchro is, as so often is not necessarily the best, but it can make do with it, because it comes down to luck on other things. If there's the soundtrack. Well balanced between rock, reggae and hip-hop, from classics to underground everything is there to represent. Who are not many songs that can be edited his own playlist and just listen to what pleases.
