Great sequel. Virtually improved everything about the gameplay and added even more. I also thought that the map worked a lot better here than it did in the first game, mainly because each part of the map flows into one another.

If I had to pick on something it would be the reward system. The first skate game made a big deal out of getting your first (and subsequent) sponsors. Whereas, in Skate 2, all you needed to do was pick a brand without much though, and you could move on to the next challenge. Although I didn't mind the concept behind the story, this made it feel under-baked.
