This plays just like Skate 2, it even takes joking nods at it's predecessors flaws like when the annoying camera man from the previous two games hands the camera to a new guy and says, "don't talk a lot, they hate it when you talk." They've also replaced the infuriating s-k-a-t-e (horse clone) game with a much more respectable who-can-get-the-highest-score game. The new editor is fabulous, but I couldn't find any way to invite friends to my skate park. What's the point of being able to design a park if you can't ride around in it with friends? The redesigned multiplayer is nice, but it's not really different from the previous skate 2 multiplayer accept the points are linked. You can't ride around in free-mode with friends, you have to hope from location to location just like before. It would be nice to see a giant MMO-like setting. The only time the game comes close is actually in single player. When you add friends, their avatar will pop into your single player game randomly as a computer AI.

Here's where EA ruins the show. A lot of people are complaining about this new money-making strategy that EA is doing where if you want to use the online features you have to buy a $10 activation add-on. The people who buy the game brand new get their very own copy, but that means people who buy the game used have to shell out extra money to play online. That's just something to know if you're buying this game used.

One more thing. Shortly after I got Skate 3, and I got to about 1.5 million boards, my PS3 broke and I bought a new one. I tried to transfer my save file to the new PS3 but EA doesn't feel that I am capable of doing that so they locked it down. Even copying over the save file from a backup didn't work which is disturbing. I loaded up skate 3 and the game went black and wouldn't load anything (on my new PS3). I know it has some strict online features, but couldn't they just link the save file with the online id as I sign in? That would be a lot more responsible than ruining hours and hours of work.

In short: This game is fantastic, it fixes most of the flaws, but it doesn't really improve on much. The editor is nice, but lonely, and whatever you do don't let your PS3 break. '_'

I really enjoy playing this game. Its a fun game to play with a bunch of your friends on Play 3. The only thing I didn't like about this game is having to teleport to different districts in the city. I enjoy being able to ride through the whole city like in skate and skate 2, but overall its a great game to buy if you like skateboarding games.

I just got my copy of Skate 3 today and had to play it right away. So I have now been playing it all day and I can safely say that this is the best Skate game out there. It surpasses Skate 1 & 2 by so much.

There are endless new and improver features available in the 3rd Skate. The skate park builders are fantastic, the new trick are to die for, the Hall of meat is the best there is and the graphics and the whole new maps are Amazing.

Buy this game if you love skateboarding or just buy it if you like games in general!

Skate 3 is definitely the best skating game I've ever played. It has every feature a game should have, from a skatepark creator to a very detailed environment, skate 3 has it. I purchased this item at the end of August for $60 and it was worth every penny. It is one of the few games I will never trade in, just because there are endless possibilities. I still play the game today. The story mode of the game is possibly the best part. The challenges that you must complete are great, it has every thing from races to photo shoots. For every challenge you complete you sell a certain number of boards, the goal being 1 million. I also have played the online quite extensively, and I can say that the people that play it are very nice, unlike COD players. I have had a great amount of fun downloading Skate parks from people and playing them for hours, many players are quite creative. Overall definitely my favorite skating game, and one of my favorite games of all time.
