I've kind of got to agree with the Skate 2 sentiments.
With Skate, I found myself playing for hours and hours on end doing tricks and skills, got slightly bored and then did part of the story - then went back to playing around with lines and tricks. Did a bit more of the story... and repeat until the story was finished. After that I had a good few weeks possibly another month or so of gaming out of it before I'd got bored of it.
Skate 2 was more playing around for an hour, do the story, play around, do some story... do more story... finish the story and play around for a week tops and then that was it.
It didn't grab my attention as much as Skate did. Possisbly because Skate was so different to anything we'd ever played before.
Skate 2 seemed like an old friend you'd met up with... you hadn't seen him in a year - he's learnt a few new things and you remember the good old days but he's still that old friend from before and that haircut still annoys you - but he's still miles better than your crack head of a friend that likes jumping 50 feet in the air doing unbelievable tricks saying how he scored 10,000,000 points to all his friends, who's called Tony .
