I dare say i've spent faaar too much time messing around in the demo, it's simple, but works extremely well without being the cluster f*** of digit gymnastics that the tony hawk series is.
Not to say I don't love the Tony Hawk games, but I find I enjoy the "exploration" combined with the old school button mashing elements far more than the skating.
A way to add a little longevity to the Skate demo.....free roam outside of the skate park...if albeit a little dodgy.
I picked up the full version of the game, and I think I like it... I really want to like it... but I've played the Tony Hawk series so much that I cant get those habits out of my system.
I keep holding A all the time (prepping for an ollie in the THPS games), and I keep trying to put my landing over a rail regardless of the direction I am traveling ( in the THPS series you can snap to a rail from almost any direction).
Once I force myself to stop trying those controls I imagine I will have a far better time with Skate.
yeah man, I played tons of TH too, and at first the curve was annoying but now I have to say I prefer this. and even moreso when they actually get the rest of the tricks in skate.2. I tried playing the Proving Grounds demo afterwards and it just felt terrible. couldn't go back to playing like that.

some of the challenges are infuriating, but feels good to nail them
