Say what you will about skateboarding being a sport; nothing has reached the level of parity between reality and videogame like Skate 3.
While there is a lot of liberties taken when it comes to controlling your board with an analog stick, it also takes a lot of practice and wile to get good at it. Which is a shocking revelation in a world where developers are hell-bent on holding our hands 'til the bitter end. But what you get out of the frustration, trial-and-error, scrapes and bruises is the satisfaction of feeling like you've actually accomplished something.
And that's why Skate 3 is the best 360 sports game.
