In optimum conditions, both versions operate at 30fps, but while the 360 version is prone to losing the odd frame when things get difficult to render, the PS3 game judders terribly, falling down to less than 15fps in some cases. That said, while the innovative controls are clearly a revolutionary leap for the genre, I couldn't get on with the 'life through a lens' camera angle which made lining up simple jumps and grinds far more difficult than it should have been a basic issue that consigned Skate to the games rack far sooner than I would have liked.īut now it's back in play - along with its PS3 cousin - for the purposes of this feature, and with it a warning email from Kristan pointing out the existence of an online petition from outraged owners of Sony's console complaining about frame rate problems that allegedly make the game unplayable. I was also deeply impressed by the sheer amount of game content crammed onto the DVD. For a start, its unique visual - and audio - style is superb, its heavily post-processed video effects make it look unlike any other game, while its save-and-share online features work beautifully. There's much to enjoy about Skate over and above the elements expertly picked out by Luke Albiges in the original Eurogamer review.
