Tricks are still pulled off with the left and right thumbstick (with the left stick controlling your body and the right controlling the board) and right and left triggers for grabs.

Thankfully the standard gameplay in Skate 3 is still extremely solid and outperforms what we last saw from the Tony Hawk series with ease. Skate 4 (TBA) on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will reboot the Skate series on new technology. The park creator is undoubtedly cool for those who enjoy making their own skateboarding playground, but there are definite frustrations that hold it back. Still, I would have enjoyed spending hours crafting a park much more if there was a mechanic designed to share it with the entire Internet, rather than simply passing it around to my friends within Skate 3. The process is still a little tricky at times in Skate, though it is improved from last yearвЂ™s game. For example: IвЂ™d much rather create tracks in ModNation Racers (developed ironically by ex-Black Box employees) than create parks in Skate 3. The new park creator does a nice job of expanding on the line creation aspects of Skate 2, but really doesnвЂ™t advance the methodology used to create things in-game. The ability to upload my clip of gapping that treacherous rusty pipe wouldвЂ™ve carried much more weight if all of my 2,000+ Facebook friends could have seen it.

But why keep all of these cool little trinkets confined to the world of Skate? I feel like EA could have really leveraged this social infrastructure if they had ported it over to Facebook or another social network medium. Skate 3 (2010) on PS3, Xbox 360 with more difficulty settings and online modesДЄnother new construct in Skate 3 is a social network of sorts that allows players to view whatвЂ™s called вЂњskate.feed.вЂќ The feed shows your friendsвЂ™ activity when it comes to posting clips, graphics for use on their boards and sharing other content. Either that, or expanded upon to make a Skate MMO of sorts.

So while there are certainly some cool aspects of team play, it feels like a feature that wouldвЂ™ve taken a backseat in a game with more development time. There are some cool aspects to playing online, especially when you have a couple of buddies talking smack in your ear about how their 1UP score just kicked your scoreвЂ™s ass. Black Box wisely made the career progression persistent whether playing online or off, so thereвЂ™s no reason why you shouldnвЂ™t hop into a challenge when a buddy invites you to do so.

Just about every challenge in the game can be played online. Thankfully the team mechanic pays dividends online more so than off. Sadly Skate 3вЂ™s team dynamics donвЂ™t extend much further than simply giving you a few buddies building your score for you. ItвЂ™s a bit of a shame that unique team activities (something separate from the usual challenge types) werenвЂ™t crafted to really leverage the fact that you have friendly skateboarders with you for the first time in the series. Sometimes youвЂ™ll have to pull off the longest jump, others are as simple as attaining the highest score as a team. My favorites are the team contests that pit your squad against another in multiple rounds of skateboarding, each with a different rule set. Thankfully Black Box (the developers) included plenty of challenges to go around, so there are enough team activities to keep most happy.

Most of the time youвЂ™re completing challenges like Own The Spot (or Lot), Deathraces, Hall of Meat (you can now turn Hall of Meat mode on which assigns a score to every bail you make), and other solo affairs. Of course, these teammates only come into play about half of the time (though it depends how you want to play). Skate It (2008) on Wii, DS and iOS a spin-off for motion and touch screen controls. WhatвЂ™s even cooler, if a friend on your friends list has created a skateboarder in Skate 3, you can use their character model on your team. You can customize your mates just as easily as your own skateboarder with merchandise, different decks, wheels and everything else you can think of. Once you attain a high enough level of street cred with the masses (tracked through a sales chart of sorts), youвЂ™ll get your first teammate. To get them to join up, youвЂ™ll need to get notoriety. The point of Skate 3вЂ™s career mode is to build a new skateboard brand from scratch and your pals eventually sign on to help you out (though the actual story ultimately carries little weight). Skate 3 tries to give players a sense of camaraderie with both AI and real human players that can join up on your skating team.
