    Skate 3 sadly fails to take the leaps and bounds that Skate 2 made; it's not as progressive or original. However, it is still the undisputed king of skateboarding games, and if you're new to the franchise, you'd do well to pick it up. If you're a dedicated fan, on the other hand, you're likely going to walk away from Skate 3 a little disappointed that Black Box didn't push the envelope further and make it a different experience from that which came before it.

    Black Box has come a long way since 2007, when they managed to topple the Tony Hawk franchise in the space of twelve months. The release of Skate 2 last year cemented their place as one of the most innovative sports developers in gaming. The release of Skate 3 was inevitable, but many fans were sceptical of what seemed to be a rather rushed release, and rightly so. Read more
