Whats the flick involved for varials and hardflips etc, on the demo i just flick randomly for them because i dont know how to do them in the game.

Down, circle around 1/8 circle, diagonally accross to the opposite side of the cirle. That's how I think it's shown in the game, I also mash randomly to pull it off.

just google it? theres a picture with all the tricks on it

The actual game itself is so much harder than the demo

Damnit I can't get skate to come up in the market place. I changed my Windows Live ID's address to america and signed back into xbox live and it's not showing up? Am I missing something? How do ye change to an american account?

shortys94

You need an email address with an american postal address

Call Me Jimmy

yeah i did that, put in a beverly hills address for me email address and it didn't work

dazftw

A NEW email address and make a new account.. The game is out now you could just rent it to see what its like

lol no worries did you get it anyway?

Got It, and its blooming excellent. ALOT harder than the demo, mind, but still once you get the hang of it its great. Lots of online stuff too like videos screenshots, live events etc.

I played the demo and it's okay, I was so used to tony hawks buttons that I kept confusing myself. Maybe the full game would be better, it's just it got a bit boring after a little while, I dunno. It was late so maybe I was just tired, I'll give it another go today.

dazftw

If you dont actually skate it its going be very annoying cause it so realistic its hard to do like 900 backflip melon kickflip... everyone was so used to tony hawks...

the demo is so easier than the te full game... I dont know what im saying im drunk lol

Im playing it now im so addicted

shortys94

Yea its a great game if you skate yourself.

dazftw

Anyone playing this maybe get a few games online or anyone need to get there video reviewed to get the achievment?

One thing about the game Ive finished the main story but havn't finish all the filming challenges which are proving to be a right pain they made some of them way to hard!

ShaneU

The 2 of the skateboard magazines are killing me especially the get 4500points and 6 grinds... oh jesus

How did you manage to get the video review one? Did you post links somewhere or did you just get lucky?

00sully

its a good game, very good. streets ahead of TH. however it is quite buggy, i fell off the map quite a few times with roads that lead to nowhere! wtf is that about??

dazftw

Its EA lol

Most EA games are buggy

jaggeh

i just cannot get the hang of landing in manuals, and its holding up the game now as i have two photo challenges requiring it
Flip-manual-gap
flip-manual-flip

i know it takes pressure and a slight depress on the controller but its just not working for me.

any advice?

bigpoppa

lovin this game, hard to be consistent though

manuals just practice some simple pop shuvit and when in the air very very gently push the right stick forward and it will manual.

There is no depress needed. Just flick the right stick back a little bit, a very little bit.

That's it, can you do a manual on it's own?

eggplantman

great game
its hard to play

dazftw

all those hard film challegnes should be done on steep hills with crubs! Its the only way I could do them.. The No Skating Zone ones in the second floor of the matrix plaza opposite the security guard! Just make sure you get your multiplier up!
