Gamespot: Skate 2 Updated Hands-On (360)

	"The focus of EA's showcase was Skate 2's freeskate activities, the new bag of challenges you and five other online skaters can take part in by simply pulling up a menu while freeskating and electing to join. We spoke with several members of the Black Box development team, and they made no bones about the fact that fellow EA property Burnout Paradise was a big source of inspiration in this department."

	"Also new to Skate 2 are "Freeskate Activities," essentially co-op challenges that inject simple goals into casual freeskates. Each of the freeskate areas features several available challenges to propose. One example that I played was an accumulation challenge, which had myself and a friend attempting to amass 20,000 points in three minutes."

did the first skate game give anyone else headaches? The game was sick but I couldnt play it for more than 30minutes due to headaches.

Not at all, though I did notice (after playing the 360 demo for so long) that the PS3 version definitely does take a hit in framerate and visuals overall.
