15 Years Later, Skate 2 Is Still the Best Blueprint for the Skate Franchise

The Skate franchise is set to make a comeback in the form of Skate 4, which will hopefully either meet or exceed the peak game of the series: Skate 2. It’s been fifteen years since the second entry in the Skate trilogy was released, but it still manages to hold up against modern skating games like Session: Skate Sim. As EA’s Full Circle works on Skate 4, one can only hope that it takes some inspiration from Skate 2, whose personality, perfectly balanced gameplay, and world design all combine to create a truly special gaming experience.
