Extreme Skate Adventure PlayStation 2 cheats

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is a videogame developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision Publishing. The game was created for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony, the original Xbox and the GameCube. It was released in September 2003.

The title is classed as a sports simulation focusing on skateboarding and it's unique because it uses a whole lot of characters taken directly from the Disney animated world. The game is played in 3D using a third person perspective. The engine is that of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 game.

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is not in any way a title in the vein of the skate franchise from Electronic Arts or of the Tony Hawk games launched by Activision. Disney wished to make a game that would appeal to the children demographics by combining two elements set to attract them: the Disney universe and skateboarding. You can play as the characters from Toy Story, Lion King and Tarzan, and there are lots of different levels included in each of the worlds. There's also an option for players to create their own universes from scratch.

Each of the characters in the game has a unique look but also a board, moves and collectibles. There are two main game modes: a story-driven one, and the combination of Practice Mode and Freeskate that allows all players to try and pull off the most ridiculous tricks.

Skate 2 - Goofy v Regular skateboarding contest

Skate 2 - Goofy v Regular skateboarding contest

Compete for stance supremacy! Black Box, a studio of Electronic Arts, announced today that it will be partnering with leading global action sports footwear and apparel brand, etnies, to bring their epic Goofy vs. Regular (GvR) skateboarding contest to the videogame world. Gamers will lead a team of goofy foot or regular foot pros as they pit the best skateboarders against each other in the ultimate team competition.

“The Skate franchise has always been committed to showcasing the spirit and soul of skateboard culture,” said Executive Producer, Scott Blackwood. “The etnies GvR competition celebrates the fun, creativity and talent in skateboarding today. Featuring the event as one of the main competitions in Skate 2 felt like a natural integration and a perfect fit.”

Skate 2 picks up five years after the original Skate, a period marred by an unspeakable disaster that left San Vanelona in ruins. Within that time, Mongocorp rebuilt the city but their zealous protection of private property has put a damper on the once thriving skate population. Equipped with double the bag of tricks, gamers are tasked to rebuild their career and revive the New San Vanelona skate scene. With their ability to get off-board to move objects around and with help from a crew of locals, players will embark on a mission to take back the city, one spot at a time. Along the way, they’ll need to get coverage, earn sponsorships, own challenges and enter contests, including a coveted invite to etnies GvR competition.

“I was stoked when EA committed to putting our etnies Goofy vs. Regular event in their new game! GvR is one the best skate contests of the year and has created some of the most hype and friction over the past 5 years,” said Don Brown senior vice president of marketing for Sole Technology and goofy footed skateboarder. “The original Skate was incredibly popular, so we’re really proud to be a part of Skate 2.”

etnies will also be partnering with Skate 2 on an exclusive shoe that will hit an etnies preferred retailer in the United States when the game ships in 2009.

Developed by Black Box in Vancouver, British Columbia, Skate 2 ups the ante in delivering an authentic skateboarding experience with all-new tricks that allow gamers to truly skate it their way – on and off the board.

Skate 2 will be released for the PLAYSTATION 3 system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system in early 2009. The game has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

Players who cannot wait until 2009, can pick up Skate It for the Wii this Fall.
