Downloaded the skate 2 demo today and I must say, I'm quite impressed. The new updated graphics look pretty incredible, and doing tricks is just as fluid as before. Trying out the two party play modes and seeing my first glimpse of New San Van, I'm pretty excited to explore all that it has to offer, considering I was a large fan of the excellent enviornment that the original San Van was. Some things I didn't like were that walking was too slow and unrealistic. Your guy walks way too slow and doesn't look human at all while doing it. Whether this was just for the demo I am sure to find out. Also, moving around objects is a little tough, but I'm sure I'll get better with practice. Lastly, the "improved" camera wasn't as good. This is more a matter of personal opinion, but I liked the old one better.
