With the rail and plywood hell fuck that

[@HorrorOfDrugula]

They can’t land any kind of triple flip variation. You’re welcome.

[@Ckypwnd]

Jordan Flores youre 9 years late 😂😂😂😂

[@Codgerism]

You can beat the game of s.k.a.t.e. with a glitch. Before starting the challenge go into the drainage ditch on your right, grab a metal barrier, drag it up top and put it in between the ramp and the original metal barrier. Koston and Carroll will wig out and bail on every turn. Fuck s.k.a.t.e.

[@tombstonejones9581]

Codgerism real shit I did that the first time then went back and beat them fair and square on my 2nd play through.

[@AmpersandFB]

Oh wow, now I remember doing that!

[@evancathey3968]

if you land any 540 they cannot land it.

[@Codgerism]

But you'll still have to wait for them to bail. Some of us just want to skip the s.k.a.t.e challenges entirely.

[@evancathey3968]

Codgerism; true! i have it on 360 so they do bail more....

[@bigblackdaddyblue]

[@Dime_time333]

Best soundtrack,played the community center demo for days.

[@krich451]

Really wish they would release this series on pc. My ps3 doesn't even turn on anymore.

[@rfrakctured]

We desperately needed a Skate game on PC, but EA would never do it. If you're looking for a Skate-like fix on PC now try out Session. It's hard to adjust at first, but the more you play it, the more you'll appreciate the differences. Demo is available here on their kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/100195109/session-skateboarding-simulation-game-by-crea-ture/

[@krich451]

i've been playing it for a good while now.

[@rfrakctured]

Same here. I love pushing that little park to its limits. There's a surprising amount you can do in such a small area. Once they finish the whole game, it's going to be insane. I'm already dreaming of the custom mods the community is sure to come out with in the years to come.

Tip on how to beat the Koston and Carol challenge. Just keep doing a 540 into your trick. They will never land it

[@ShMeatWad]

Also triple flips

[@jonmur77]

Yes they won’t even try the same trick lol

[@zyro8188]

thnks i am buying this soon and wanted to know bout that one

[@veryaverageguy6967]

dude every bot doesn't know how to 540 anything from every skate

[@AustinHansen]

Grym yes you can.

[@Skate_RC]

It's a shame the filmer pack is no longer available for Skate 2. Skate 2 had the best ragdoll physics out of the whole series. I'm surprised you didn't touch on the Hall of Meat aspect as that was part of the fun with Skate 2.

[@unclejoe2421]

Actually it still exist only in Europe and China

[@cookieflip6923]

There's a glitch u can do do beat the game of skate easy. U have to go down the spillway a bit and grab a bike rack and drag it back to the challenge area where u place it right in front of the other bike rack. You start the challenge and they always bail for some reason. It's a nifty trick

[@Rhapbus1]

RIP BIG BLACK

[@j-skullz]

Damn the graphics still look so good for a game that's almost 10 years old. I love the golden light this game had to it, Skate 3 looked so bland in comparison

[@microchrist6122]

Better than 3 . Besides trick editor and dark slides and hard core mode

[@tiramisu1p4pgoat6]

Honestly only the map is better. Everything else is superior in Skate 3. I wish there was a way to play Skate 3 is San Van. Everything in Skate 3 seems oversized. It's like the people who designed the map and the people who designed the skaters weren't working for the same company.

[@PeenyWeenyCrew]

Tiramisu #1P4PGOAT what about lighting and frames

[@nikobellic3830]

Tiramisu #1P4PGOAT Soundtrack is better and the graphics look more realistic in Skate 2, if you add all the new features from 3 into 2 it’s the far superior game

[@jayvader9023]

@@nikobellic3830 hopefully this is basically what happens with skate 4, but much improved visuals and more features, better physics, more modes beyond hardcore etc. hopefully ea doesnt pull an ea and just reskins skate 3

[@Siegmeyer_]

JayVader90 they would break skaters hearts everywhere if they do that, they’ve already been voted worst company in the US, twice in a row. This is there chance to prove they’re not this scummy corporation but then again it’s EA isn’t it ...

[@johnnyguitar108]

Big blacks got your back!!! RIP!!

[@LightningLion]

The Half-Cab directions were right when you played as a goofy skater, but if you do half-cabs as a regular skater, they're reversed. I figured they just couldn't decide between the historically correct way or the more modern used "same as nollie" way.

[@murderface1628]

You have to do 540s in the game of skate against koston and carroll. Just do a footplant as you land a 360 and they'll never land the 540.

[@zukodude487987]

I think the best way to beat the skate challenges was by altering the ramp in a way that made the AI always bail and beat the challange.

[@potatogun2845]

On the Xbox they did an update that changed the Koston and Carroll challenge so you start setting the trick. I think it also made it easier for them to bail. It's hard to beat it legitimately but not impossible. They can't land any kind of triple flips and usually can't do 540s. Other than that you just have to get lucky. First time I actually beat it Carroll says something along the lines of "best two out of three" so I pressed A thinking I had to do another round but it actually just retried the challenge. I lost the second round so I had to win all over again.

[@expected5104]

In my opinion skate 2 is the best game ever made, it feels alot more realistic compared to skate 3. The caracters looks more natural on their board and you can really understand how much they have worked on the motion of the caracters, also skate 2 have so more good spots compared to skate 3 in my opinion. And this comes from a non skater, thx.

[@SlickRick4EVER]

You can't get a running start in Skate 2... Skate 3 does well with that!

[@MXOY99]

Kinda wanna hybrid of all the skate games focusing on Skate 2's looser physics... Skate 3's tricks and NO FISH LENS!!! And all the maps from each game.

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Fairfax Video - I like the way you think!

[@MXOY99]

SlickRick4EVER: So do I... When my thinking isn't plagued with grime.

[@SomethingSordid]

i am a skater and i completely agree

[@KhakiCap]

I love having the sercurity option on. When running away from them, it feels like playing the game of "cat and mouse" with them.

[@Nightspeeds]

Great review as always! I always did nollie triple heel variations against Koston and Carroll in my playthroughs haha. Made it very easy 😅 but I had the same struggle the first time

[@Nightspeeds]

G-Web thanks man! 😄

[@tyonorshapzc7tjfvb7-caz]

:D

[@tyonorshapzc7tjfvb7-caz]

i allways did 540z ^.^ workz too

[@hateatchee7508]

I have played so much of this game I never want to lay eyes on it again in my life. It definitely is my favorite skateboarding game ever, but after playing over, god, it has to be at least a thousand hours, I am done with it for the rest of my life. Edit: The best way to beat ANY pro at a game of skate in these games is just to do 540s. They can't do them, at all, and they will do shit that is not even close to what you did, and miss every time.

[@southsideshenanigans]

I️ think Skate 2 was the best overall. Story was fun, good gameplay. Street spots were solid, parks were fun and soundtrack was by far the best IMHO. It just seemed a little more grungy vs skate 3 seemed really bright and colorful and seemed more for little kids. Skate 3 had the dark slide which was a fun trick addition but overall I️ liked skate 2 the best. What do you guys think ? All of them were great skateboarding games I like them better than THPS games

[@poodudeelite]

southsideshenanigans skate 3 seemed rushed as the textures had no detail, making them look more colorful or cartoonie. Skate 2 had tons of detail that made it feel like a lived in city,much more realistic to me.

[@jordanzish]

@@poodudeelite That's how I've always felt about THPS 3 and 4. I know that's Holy ground for some people but they never lived up to 2 to me, which I still play to this day.

[@christiannolf2172]

I got stuck on that same game of skate, but there was a glitch where they would bail on any 540 trick

[@awidanland11]

There’s actually a way to beat carrol and koston just search up the challenge on YT and there’s a way to make them bail every time

[@blakearnold468]

I beat the game of skate by doing 360 shuv 540's and 540 triple kickflips and some really unrealistic spin combos. Once you spin 540, it seemed like the AI just gave up for the most part.

[@BreadBarracuda]

Blake Arnold same! I used to do either triples or 360 ollies late 180 footplants on flat lol

[@b4krr]

NPCs can't do triples or 540s lol and the rail and ledge caps were a fun thing to film so Its nice to mix things up

[@the_filmdudes]

Thanks to this I was able to breeze right through that backboard invert challenge!

[@phoreman88]

i spent hours trying to handplant that backboard way back in like 2009. funny you mentioned it.

[@broodlyric]

I think it would be cool if you did a video / series similar to shred school, but from the angle of helping 25+ year olds re-learn when there getting back into it. Maybe go over tricks, or environments, what will be different than you remember, or specific approaches for those of us less limber.

[@mattgreen3696]

also there's a glitch with the game of skate where if u skate far enough away that it needs to load to return to the table jump thing an extra metal barrier will spawn in causing your opponents to not even attempt the jump.

[@HeyItsJoe1]

dont let them get to you, never give in. They want you to doubt yourself #regularskaterights

[@mattgreen3696]

if you don't put the quarter directly beneath the backboard I found the invert challenge much easier.

[@ZbuntowanyGwindon]

Ah, yes, the best game I've never got a chance to play... until it became backwards compatible on Xbox

[@bennypaddycake7182]

The backboard phototshoot is the worst mission

[@THmusic420]

The thing i like the most about skate 2 was that you needed to call this characters to come help you for exaple drain pools and stuff, I wanted that in skate 3 so bad🤣

[@sid666kurt]

in that backboard mission you have to hold the handplant button before you even hit the quarterpipe, it seems counter intuitive because youd expect it to just make you handplant the qp but it works, ive done it a bunch of times now

[@utke22]

5:11 AHAHA OMG the way he said reason was hilarious

[@HeavyProfessor]

My friends and I were always so high when we played this...don’t remember if anyone actually landed any tricks.

[@jonthedoors]

That basketball hoop challenge drove me absolutely insane at the time I don't know how I managed to do it

[@marekberec564]

I just looked at your review ... I bought this game when it came out on the xbox 360 and now it's backward compatible on the Xbox One. Today I'm starting to play career again. Although games like Skater XL have been released, Skate2 is the best skateboard game - the best career, challenges and lots of fun. By the way: I made the basketball hoop challenge very quickly. The most difficult task for me was Vert with Vampire - jump up to window. So much nostalgia. I've gone through my career about 20 times and I still enjoy it over and over again.

[@Biohazard667Productions]

wtf? the invert on the back board took me just 10 min.. damn

[@skatechatham]

I have a couple videos on my channel called FAKE SKATEBOARDING that are parts I made in Skate2, totally forgot about them till recently and it reminded me how realistic it was compared to part 3. I remember some of the tricks just being so challenging but looking so good when you land them. I'm disappointed I can't play my DLC areas without an online account though.

[@WorldsWorstBoy]

You skate man? Awesome. I like the concept of reviewing all skateboarding games ever made.

[@MrBikboi]

Session is the greatest skate sim in the world, learning to play and skate is the closet thing virtually to feel like actual skating. It's early access on steam and I'd say anyone who skates would enjoy it. It's not a tricklining game, it's a skate sim. Putting on some tunes at night and skating the Brooklyn banks is so cathartic

[@ShMeatWad]

What’s weird is the game of skate against Koston and Carrol, you go first on the Xbox 360 but last on the PS3

[@TheSoapBar23]

Holy smokes I've never beaten the notification squad without notifications on before

[@shaft9000]

imho the skate 2 parks&city + the skate3 engine would be the best skate-video game

[@unclebruncle]

shaft9000 and skate 1 soundtrack

[@poodudeelite]

Then take out all the security guard and stop block crap.

[@Jinseng]

I think the guards and skate stoppers made the game better

[@sam2k1xfanchannel91]

unclebruncle hell yeah

[@tombradley2379]

In my opinion I love this game and have so many fun memories from this game

[@super.hero.landing]

8:58 I feel like the only person that barely had any trouble with this challenge. Basically what I did was sort of an exploit, I don't know if anyone else knows this. What I did was basically hit the lightly tapped the handplant button as I was going up the quarter pipe, and that sort of helps with your alignment, soon as I got up the hoop I was able to handplant with no issue. I'm probably not the only one that did this but just a tip if anyone replays this game and that challenge. Let me know if it worked.

[@IrishCoffeee]

Skate 3 was my first skate game I played. After that I bought skate 2 and boyyy I felt in love with the game. The city, the lighting, the soundtrack, the challenges, the contact system.. still love skate 2

[@justin____wood5970]

I noticed that if you do a flip trick with a 180 it will either add a 180 or cancel a 180 of the flip trick. Try some bigflips or bigspins in both directions fsbv bsbv and slow mo it.

[@mcluhanmedia1223]

How do you unlock that mini ramp in the woods that the game alluded to while loading?

[@inlinesixrb25]

If skate 2 had hardcore mode id never play 3.

[@micknamer]

for real because the hardcore mode is kind of bettern since everything is more heavier feeling like the air you get is less etc oh my goodness ill never look at skate 3 again bro

[@Gravitreee]

Who played the main character in the live action cutscenes though? I know you never see the face of them but was it listed anywhere?

[@4yushb528]

Been waiting forever. Better late than never, hyped for the skate 3review too

[@rycemccall3887]

That lucas puig grind challenge was the only thing I never completed on skate 2 it was soooo frustrating! But I loved that game and still think it's the best in the series for authentic Street skating

[@TheConditionTV]

i have the same exact calvin and hobbes collection. thats pretty cool!

[@ryanportwood5743]

Also, stoked as hell you shouted out ValleyBoy at the end! That first clip with the bonk was beautiful!! If you want to watch a definitive full length video of Skate 2 I would definitely recommend ABD by BKS which is a favorite of many. It's insane how smooth and real they made it look. Also, I wanted to note that with the filming and key frames people often make the camera glitch when filming in order to make it look a certain way. I'll link a video with this comment to explain how it's done, but people often make the camera go under the lowest allowed mm of 24 to somewhere in between 19-10 mm most of the time while also being able to make a long lens that goes way over the allowed 75 mm to 200-300 mm and beyond. Here's one way of doing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jonHkJV-iJiohcU&playnext=1&list=PL21CAC02369F62453

[@NeonMacabre]

Ryan Portwood It's actually crazy how immersed everyone got into the filming of it. I actually had a team called Illusion and I had fun filming and editing for that for a few years.

[@NeonMacabre]

Ryan Portwood I also used to run a website where I made a list of every major teams full length videos and graphics too.

[@erichenry7655]

U can also beat Koston and Carroll with triple and quad flip variations. What's up with the filmer pack on Xbox360? It's not available for purchase even if I wanted to?

[@johndeereoli]

My favourite person on KZbin! Thank you for the consistently good content man.

[@floater5661]

Or not knowing where to Ollie At The dam I thought that was the dumbest thing I've heard about this game

[@evancathey3968]

On the Backboard one I had no issues, I think you have to place the quarter pipe farther away from the backboard and your guy will kinda basically "Pull" toward it.

[@skylarhandley1115]

I found an easy way to beat the Carroll and Koston challenge was to do triple flip tricks. They bail every time

[@skylarhandley1115]

Or 540s

[@johnnycabardo1930]

The hand plant on the backboard was hard but i did it by just using the quarter pipe it took alot of tries and i even broke my controller lb and rb buttons lol i didnt even know about the picnic table until after i beat the challenge

[@6.thedollar415]

2:09 yeah I can agree on that. Sometimes in Skate 1 I'll try to do a 360 pop shuvit and do a nollie lol don't have that problem on 3

[@iNeedMoney247]

There was a glitch on mine where the Danny Way icon was on the map but he never appeard there it was the one challenge i never got to complete after i finished the rest of them . im still upset about that til this day

[@congressmanish]

Those 2 challenges will forever be burned into my memory. Didn't beat the SKATE one until my 3rd playthrough

[@gazsghost2879]

There is also an object you can move to help with the Koston Challenge. If you bring a separate rail up to the Rail they use to play the game of S.K.A.T.E, their Brains get wiped of any Skateboard knowledge and they just walk on the Ramp

[@the_filmdudes]

Also I figured out that the best way to beat that super hard S.K.A.T.E. challenge is to do all 540’s. The best way to do it is by moving *both* the sticks in the same direction that you’re turning. It takes some experimenting!

[@beircheartaghaistin2332]

I remember the first time I landed a triple backflip at the Danny Way park... ahh, the memories. I miss this game

[@scotty932096]

So let’s get this straight... in the beginning of the game you are released from jail sentenced for skating that huge Dam. In the end of the game you go BACK there and literally film and take photos of yourself there again and after literally draining an entire dam.... makes sense.

[@TheValleyboy]

Great review radrat 😀

[@Gnargoyle237]

2 was the best skate game hands down by the way. Made 3 feel stiff and bulky and the bail system was tight. You can also do a quick 180 then set up switch and the character actually looked like he was skating switch, counted as nollie I think but who cares. that game would be the soul reason for buying a xbox360 today

[@mattgreen3696]

GABERS 237 *sole

[@poodudeelite]

Sole soul reason*

[@WaechterDerNacht]

what i always missed was a splitscreen or other offlline modes. therefore i often ended up playing a short game in Skate 1...

[@hardrockgaming2355]

I got it a few days ago for ps3, really lags, u think this is the hdmi cables fault?

[@impoopnrightnow906]

*Skate 2 is now backwards compatible!* Have fun, kids.

[@akiramatoi4158]

TIPS: (for anyone who comes back or new to this video) - 1) - (All 3 Games) If you do the down button gesture. it will make the NPC people run away scared. it's a good way to get them to move out of the way of things you wanna skate. i think you can do this in all 3 skate games but in know it works in Skate 2 & 3 for sure. Not 100% if it works in 1 tho. im pretty sure it should tho. 2) (In Skate 2 & 3) There's an option when you are grabbed onto an object to "Lock To Session Marker" which means everytime you go back to your maker it will move the object back to exactly where you had it so if it does move you don't need to worry about getting that perfect spot again. it will go back on its own.

[@TheSynysterGamer]

Ah i remember that challenge with Koston and Carroll, the only way I was able to beat it back then was to grab a bench and place it by the rail to glitch the AI 😂 man I miss 2009..

[@anthonyvlogsgamingandmore8683]

Never clicked on a video so fast

[@sylskaterChannel]

the trick, pun not intended, with the Koston/Reynold's game of skate is to move the bi8ke rack a little bit further, they will bail everytime

[@micTaconator]

I love skate 2 because that’s my first skate game and skate 2 (along with rob and big) is what made me want to really get into skateboarding

[@MARQ23]

I played this game on and off never really trying the challenges and one day I came across that koston carrol challenge and tried it.. I was like wtf I’m never trying any of the challenges if they’re that hard. Then I watch this video and now it makes sense why I couldn’t pass it.. it was the most difficult challenge!

[@ImAllinDark]

Marq 23 If you ever go back and play S2 you can beat the challenge by doing triple kick flips and heelflips. Add in spins and it’s pretty easy. They can’t do them.

[@worst8753]

to beat the the challenge with the game of skate you HAVE to do 540 tricks or else they will land it. Also, i ove the tricklining in skate 2 you can hold tricks while manueling and doing a tre-flip and then a lazer flip by holding a certain Manuel. This also helps with the trick Challenges

[@Dziaji]

Wow. That game does look smooth and natural. Makes me want to play it, but I'm not a console guy anymore. Thanks for posting this so I can experience it 3rd person at least.

[@Xindictive]

the Koston and Carrol one is just a plain unfair challenge and almost everyone (including myself) just opted to cheating that one so that the CPU always bails. The liptrick basketball hoop one is broken too. The spot you have to hit is extremely small and precise and because the thing glitches out a bit from distances, it's not worth doing it legit. THAT one i DID do legit. It sucked. I honestly do find this game to be the best on the SKATE series with Skate 1 at 2nd place. Skate 3 was a broken mess for me and Skate It just plain sucked. But best skating game of all time? ...i prefer the fun and ridiculousness of the Tony Hawk games more than SKATE, as the SKATE series was just less enjoyable for me and definitely seemed like only people who want the "most realistic skating experience ever" and just want to skate around for hours, doing tricks and such without any goals or anything, would enjoy this more, since after completing this game 100%, i haven't touched it in years because there was really nothing else for me to do, the whole filming thing got very boring and online was impossible for me at the time and sort of still is nowadays (hurray for australian internet and dead servers). I like it, but i stick by the notion that if i want the "true skateboarding experience", i'd grab my board and skate for real, because if this went full on with the simulation, the dam jump and Danny Way challenges would be impossible as your skater should be basically dead after even attempting to land it and some of those challenges.

[@bagcamdeaner4881]

I remember spending hours on that Khoston Carrol skate game

[@SteelersCardinals1]

The Koston pro challenge and the Jason Dill manual challenge were so hard for me. Some very frustrating parts of this game. Compared to Skate 3, I thought the Hall of Meat challenges and system was better in this game. I never got close to doing all of them though.

[@pretentiousmoth9314]

hippie flipping was really fun, you should have touched more on that lol

[@TripMastaJZ]

[@Jblizzybaby]

at 8:20 is the first time I ever broke a controller (and my last time)... It was such a pain but I did make it after an enormous amount of tries.

[@bigoldbagel7033]

Is a review of On a Roll still in your plan ?

[@chrisloco9]

i totally forgot about the can you spell girl challenge, so difficult but i felt so accomplished when i beat it lol

[@OldManePeace]

The need to remaster it SV DAMN SON

[@Psymon1471]

The filmer pack.. a forshadowing of future EA cut content practices

[@alZiiHardstylez]

The original SKATE will always be my favourite.

[@rfrakctured]

Are you sure you can't get on Krooked? I don't remember that. But I agree Skate 1 was the most significant of all 3. The first game in a series always has the most heart and soul put into it. And it had the best soundtrack too, by far. They did such a legit job representing Skateboarding culture in a videogame, and I sometimes feel like that fact is underappreciated among skaters today.

[@Lukemasonmedia]

I would agree if you could have just got off your board lol. I hated being stuck at the bottom of stairs or something and attempting to find a way up 😂 story wise tho I think it was the best. And the sponsor system was best too imo

the original skate's gameplay was the best. It felt a lot more real and raw. Skate 2 felt too easy, and skate 3 had awful gameplay (could barely skate rails, especially on hardcore). If skate 1 had an off-board feature, I wouldn't play any other skate game. I don't see how hard it could be to update that feature in. Or maybe if it was on PC it could be modded? Either way, original skate is the best.

alZiiHardstylez Original skate is boring because you can't get off your board and a lot of missions are hard

the best in the series, i must have played this for months on end. the online challenges you could do with your friends was amazing too, wish this game was still online.
