Skate 2

I just played the demo.   It looks sick.  I made my character a girl, but it kinda sucks because really the game is made for guys.  If you make your character a girl, she'll look like a boy anyways.  All the clothes are mens.  The shoes are huge.  Thats not nice.  Girls can be skaters and still look like girls.  

You can do way more tricks on this one.  That's cool.  Also, the falls are more realistic.  Your body doesn't go completely limp like it would on skate one.  Instead, you wave your arms in hopes of catching some particle of air that will stop you from falling hard on your face.  I like that.  Plus, when you get up, the scratches of your wounds are visible.  If you fall on your knee, your knew will get bloody or your clothes get ripped and dirty.  Your shoes even get worn out.  Crazy, right?

Remember that guy that video taped all the stuff on Skate 1?  You can see him now!

There's lots of other changes, and some you'll like, some you won't, but in general, Skate 2 looks very promising to be much better than the first.
