Keep in mind, that this game is not for everyone. People might play this game, hate the controls, and then break it in two in a blind rage. Others might see all the amazing spots and trick variety as an opporutunity to unleash their inner skater. However, you can't expect to start landing laser flips and noseblunt slides right away; this game takes practice and patience. But, when you get the hang of this game and actually start to become good, it becomes extremely rewarding. With almost infinite game replayability and tons of game content to choose from with customizing your board and skater, even tune your board however you want, this game is a great one, absolutely worth buying in my opinion. If it seems good to you but aren't sure, download the demo at the xbox live marketplace to try it out for yourself. Remember, with patience and time, you'll be hitting tre flips to boardslides in no time.
BREAKDOWN
Audio: 10/10
Skate features an amazing soundtrack filled with every good genre of music you can think of, and also has very realistic trick sounds and effects.
Video: 9/10
Skate has pretty basic video, but it also features a very cool replay editor that you can access instantly to view your last awesome line or combo.
Waffle Factor: 5/10
The achievements difficulty actually varies due to your skill level, if you are good the game should be an easy 700-800 GS, if your average you're looking at about 400-500. If you're a master of the Flick-it system, you should have the full 1000 GS before too long.
Playablity: 8/10
This game can literally be played for 200+ hours without getting boring, there always seems to be a new spot waiting for you to skate on, however you need to practice at this game and be patient in order to unlock it's full potential.
Story: 6/10
The story in skate is pretty generic, do this task, get this photo, get the cover of this mag, etc.. Don't get me wrong, it's a good story, just not amazingly awesome.
Buy, or rent?
If you are good, deffinite buy, if you're looking for a new experience and wanna test the waters, rent it.
