In 2007, Skate emerged as the first real challenger to the dominant supremacy of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series.

It was lauded as such for adding a new viewpoint to a genre that was starting to reveal its age and the gaps in its armor.

With an emphasis on realism and gameplay focused on mechanics, the game opened up a loyal follow-up to crazed fans. This popularity led to a sequel in 2009. The series was soon abandoned after the launch of Skate 3 in 2010.
