Good game

EA took the Skate series and lobotomized it by removing not only game modes and tricks from the previous games, but any and all skate culture as well.
I have fun for maybe 20 mins or so before I put the game down because it has no soul or passion behind it at all.
There isn't 1 pro skater in the game.
It is truly baffling how a company with so many resources available somehow is moving backwards when it comes to game development.
And update the controls already - SkaterXL and Session have superior controls, get with the times.

Freelancer mode is the best. Great game hidden behind dubious marketing strategies. If you are interested in the game, just buy the full-priced version and save yourself the headache.
