Skate!

SHEF · 8 Oct 2007 at 12:06

My copy of Skate seems to be broken. My character now has black paint all over his face, a few skin tones even give him a black and orange zebra pattern face. The only skin tones that work are the lightest and darkest choices, checked my disc and it was scratched. Even fell through the map at one point when the game failed to load the next area correctly. Asked if I could return my disk for a new copy and was refused. So looks like I'm gonna have to pay full price for a new copy now!

About 6 meters

. I'd simply just order one from Amazon for pennies or the Bay, stupid postal strike. :mad:

I can't get my head round this signing in to Skate Reel. It when I try to link to GT it says email sent to registered address, but I haven't received anything. Uber gayness.

Can anyone help?

I really can't get the hang of manuals (no jokes here boys please!), can do them fine just trundling along but in and out of tricks I'm struggling. Any tips?

Remember your stick position when you "trundling along", then put the stick in the same position before landing a trick.

It's very important that you do it BEFORE landing

I think thats what I'm trying to do, its so frustrating, just have to keep practicing I suppose!

Completed Halo 3 last night so i am going to start playing this now. Controls look to be a bit tricky to get used to....

Tis a great game, shame it's full of weirdy bugs though.

Scarecrow · 9 Oct 2007 at 08:53

Steep hill. 3 pushes. Hold down on the left stick.

That's what I do anyway for the long ones

Who did you contact? The retailer or EA themselves?
