So with thousands of goozex points at my disposal, I figured I'd ask the crowd here what you think is the best skateboarding game made for the 360?

I remember playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for the Nintendo 64- or was it the game cube (yes, it's been a while since I've played one) and thought that it was pretty cool, but that's my last exposure to any skating on a console.

Anyone have recommendations? I prefer not to blow too many points on one, but if it's the mac-daddy of console skating, then I'd consider it.

Thanks in advance!

I loved skate. Great controls and fun game modes other than just scoring combos.

Cool..... Skate it is. With Skate2 coming out shortly, I may hold off on trading for it since it should drop another couple hundred of points once the sequal's released.

Thanks guys! :cool:

Damn I pumped a small fortune into that game back in the day. lolIf you remember "pumping a small fortune into a skating game," I think you're referring to 720 (where the phrase "skate or die!" frequently appeared). Skate or Die (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skate_Or_Die) was an NES game, while 720 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720%C2%B0) was an arcade game.

@OP: as everyone else here agrees, skate. is the game for you. Though it still pales in comparison to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 & 3.

I'd say Skate also; TH needs to change up the franchise a bit as the last few versions were too similar.

As a follow-up, the best biking/bmx game is Paperboy and the best dirt bike game is Excitebike.

RC Pro Am was a toy car racing game, silly. Pole Position is the best car racing game, though you could also make an argument for Super Sprint.

The best cola would be 1950's era Coke in a glass bottle.

Beeron - agreed with your pick for offroad.

I love the wheel that spins endlessly on the arcade game. Maybe they could remaster it and supply some force-feedback support.

You would be correct sir.

Skate kills any and all skateboarding games. I've hated the Tony Hawk games for many versions now, but It really makes Tony Hawk seem pathetic by comparison now.
