By EA gave us a heads up today that the Skate 2 demo will hit Xbox Live Marketplace on January 8th (or to be more precise, 12:01 AM PST tomorrow).
The demo introduces players to the city of New San Vanelona where they can skate with style and individuality via access to the enhanced character customization tools. Gamers will get a first glimpse of the deep single-player story and exciting challenges in all-new locations. The Skate 2 demo will also feature two of the game’s online Party Play modes: Thrasher’s Hall of Meat and Spot Battle.
Skate 2 ups the ante in delivering all the grit, creativity and culture of skateboarding. Equipped with double the bag of tricks, players are tasked to rebuild their career and revive the skate scene. Now with the ability to get off-board and move objects, gamers can create their own epic spots and challenges, which can then be uploaded, shared and experienced by others around the world.
Skate 2 hits retailers in North America on January 21st, and worldwide on January 23, 2009.
While Skate was never personally my type of game, I know a lot of people have been waiting for Skate 2 and the demo. Anyone staying up tonight to download it?
