SKATE 2 XBOX 360

Skate 2 is a sandbox skateboarding video game developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts. The game was initially released on January 21, 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 after the spin off title Skate It. It is a sequel to the 2007 game Skate and the third installment in the Skate series overall.

Set in the fictional city of San Vanelona, the single-player "career" mode follows a skateboarder released from jail five years after being arrested in the first game, Skate, who is tasked with popularising skateboarding in the city again after devastating earthquakes, avoiding security guards hired by the company "Mongocorp" who have bought most of the city's property. Players create their own character and perform tricks such as ollies and grabs to earn points. Tricks can be used to complete challenges, such as racing and trick contests, which earn the player money that can be used to buy clothes and property or bet on events. Up to four players can play against each other in the local multiplayer "party play" mode, and an online multiplayer mode allows players to connect to games over the internet and take part in various competitive or cooperative activities.

Plans for a new Skate game were announced on February 12, 2008, with EA Games' president Frank Gibeau stating that sales of the first game had "greatly exceeded" his expectations. Skate 2 was officially announced in May 2008. The executive producer of the game, Scott Blackwood, stated that EA Black Box had given the player the ability to do "a lot more" while staying true to the "authentic feel" of the Flickit control scheme. Developers noted New San Vanelona's architectural similarities with Barcelona, San Francisco and Vancouver. A demo for the game was released for the Xbox 360 on January 8, 2009 and for the PlayStation 3 on January 15, 2009.

The third main game in the series, titled Skate 3, was released in May 2010.
