I'll answer questions for people who have them.

The game is sick. Must buy for anybody who enjoyed last years game.

- Getting off your board and walking around is worth the purchase alone.

- City still feels really big but traveling around doesn't seem like the chore that it was last year.

- I just got around to changing the in game camera angle to "high" and its a welcome change.

- Haven't messed around with the story yet, been too busy trying to find spots and just explore the city.

- All types of different skateparks are found in the city. Instead of just the one they had last year.

- Love how Habitat skateboards and apparel were added

- Tripod camera in the replay editor is well done. But for some reason I haven't been able to slow down the footage when using that camera.

- Uploading to the EA Servers is a lot faster than last year. Surprised its this fast even on release day.

Six skate parks in total (that I know of). All of them are outdoor parks I believe.

- The Boneyard (more of a vert park I think)
- Lighthouse Park
- Dueling Snakes (old school type park)
- Slappy's
- Mega Compound (has the X-Games mega ramp)
- Sewerside Skatepark

I haven't spent much time in them but you can teleport to each from the pause menu.

outdoor parks are bunk... thanks for the info though...

my favorite spot to skate in the Original Skate was Plan B

[goh]

What are the other cameras besides high?

I'd also like to add it's lame they're selling the unlock cheat for $5.
