My initial impressions are mmmmmmmeh.

Feels a too much like the first, as the new moves don't really add all that much... And it doesn't help coming across an area that I skated 1000 times in the first game.

The skate parks seem better, as does the city in general... Didn't even know you could change in game camera angle... How do you change the camera angle anyways?

Off board controls are downright atrocious... And the video editor honestly isn't all that great. I've had instances when trying to edit a clip and the camera will sort of jerk around for whatever reason and not stay steady... It's almost as if someone bumped into the camera man. Changing the camera didn't fix it either.

There's also been a high number of glitches so far... Like when skating into water, in one of the fountains... I sort of tilted over and glided along for about 15 feet...

And then there's the bail glitch that launches you unrealistically, which was in the last game, but not to the extent as in this one. Of course, crazy bails are a feature of Skate 2... For whatever reason.

I get the feeling that the ability to move things around will be the game's saving grace.

So far I'm not impressed. Seems solid, but only because the foundation they are using was already there.

This is for the PS3 by the way.
