The new Skate made me want to skate, but it also made me want to get my camera and shoot - and it's all thanks to its new, living city

It involves lots of freely dished-out in-game currency spent on boxes that, once opened, contain new clothes, skateboard art, levelling points and the odd new ramp or whatnot to drop into spots. You move around the level - in this case an entire open-world city called San Vansterdam - completing challenges to unlock missions that take you out across the sights and introduce you to a council of skating elders who run the place. Threading through the whole thing, meanwhile, is the Skateway, a looping track that's based on New York's Highline park, and which allows you to mobius your way around a pretty large open world without resorting to fast travel spots.
