Skate Early Access review
After an absolute age, EA's wheelie classic Skate is back with great handling and a whole world of slightly jarring niceness.
The broadband connection is a pain, the free-to-play model makes people fret and, with EA, there's always the strong chance that a world you've grown to love will simply blip out of existence one day because the share price sneezed. It's like the moment in Below Deck when you realise these people are all dressed in navy epaulets and are chattering urgently into earpieces and talking about rank and all that jazz, but the only mission, per se, involves making sure the mimosas keep flowing. I love San Vansterdam because the starting area at least is clearly inspired by places like Downtown Los Angeles - there's that smooth concrete and stone, that sun-bleached horizon, stand-ins for things like the ARCO Tower.
