Skateboarding fans eager to experience the second game in EA’s Skate series will find satisfaction in the coming week, as the company announces a Skate Yono all app 2 demo for the Xbox 360 and Yono all app PlayStation 3.
The Skate 2 demo features both single player modes as well as two of the game’s online party play modes – Thrasher’s Hall of Meat and Spot Battle. The Hall of Meat is a challenge to see who can hurt themselves the most, and Spot Battle is where players…do battle…on spots. Probably not. Either way, there’ll be plenty to do.
The Skate 2 demo will be hitting Yono all app Xbox Live tomorrow, January 8th, while the PlayStation 3 version is taking up the rear on the 15th. Or you could just wait until the 21st and buy the whole thing. I’m not going to tell you how to live your life. A skater has to make their own way.
