Skate 2: The Criterion Version

There’s nobody on earth that can possibly dislike SKATE 2. I haven’t even played the video game yet and I know I’ll like Skate 2. And beyond that, I don’t even like video games. I even see my grandpa liking Skate 2 and he passed away over a decade ago. Why do I think this video game is going to be sick once I buy myself an X-Box (I’m not even sure if this game is on X-Box, or Nintendo or Sega Genesis)? I was sold all because of a brilliant marketing campaign. I guess some COMMERCIALS do work. That plus an amazing cast of characters unparallel to anything else in video game history. Or film history now that I think about it. NORTH has to be pretty close.
Just like the success of NORTH, I expect this video game to be just as successful if not more successful. There is no way that so many skaters would not only let the video game makers use their invaluable names, but this video game has an awesome looking story line. Just like me, and you, and Josh Swindell, the main character in Skate 2, and most skaters for that matter, we’ve all had to start up our skateboarding careers from prison.
Check out the super behind the scenes extras for this skateboarding phenomenon of a video game. If you thought that the video game intro was cool just like the rest of the world did, then you’ll probably enjoy this. I haven’t seen it yet, but just like the video game, I know this will be good. As good as NORTH. I think I’ve got Alzheimer’s.
