San Vanelona is no longer a skaters paradise, however. An entirely new area has also been added, dubbed "San Van Mountain." This area can be seen in the skybox of Skate 1 and brings downhill gameplay at great speed. The newly rebuilt city replaces the suburbs with "The Projects", a high rise residential area with large gaps and air time. The newly rebuilt city has been labeled "New San Vanelona" and, as the name suggests, the city has been greatly changed. A disaster had left the city in ruins allowing for the corporation Mongo Corp. Upon being released, he returns to San Vanelona to find a greatly changed city. In the time between games, the player has been in jail for attempting to skate down the San Vanelona Dam. Skate 2 takes place five years after the events of the original game. In this control scheme, the player's legs are mapped to face buttons, while their arms are mapped to the shoulder buttons, the board is controlled by flicking motions of the right thumbstick. Like skate, Skate 2 is a realistic take on skateboarding utilizing the flick-it controls. The game was released on January 21st, 2009 in North America and January 23rd in all other regions. It is published by EA and is the sequel to the game skate, released in late 2007. Skate 2 is a skateboarding game developed by EA Black Box for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
