The game takes place in the fictional city of port carverton, which embraces skateboarding, unlike the "skateboarding is a crime" mentality portrayed in the second game. Although the location is more colorful and friendlier place than skate 2´s desaturated, and grany streets, the gameplay provides a similar feel to the first and second games. Several notable skateboarding professionals appear throughout the game, such as Darren Navarette, Terry Kennedy, Eric Koston, Chirs Cole, Pat Duffy and Jason Lee.
In contrast with the original Skate, two new difficulty levels have been added: "Easy" and "Hardcore" models.
"Easy Mode" allows the player to perform tricks easier and provides greater control of the character. "Harcore Mode" attemps a closer simulation of skateboarding and the player must perform tricks precisely. The game also features an introductory, such as grinding and performing ollies. This features is optional and the area can also be visited for unrestricted skateboarding.
Similar to the Tony Hawk games, Skate features a "Skate Park" that allows players to build custom skateparks.

MISFITS (BAND) FAMOUS MONSTERS




The misfits are an American rock band often recognized as the progenitors of the horror punk subgenere, blending punk rock and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery. 
Founded in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey by singer and songwriter Glenn Danzig, the group had a fluctuating lineup during its first six years with danzing and bassist Jerry Only as the only consistent members.
During this time they released several EPs and singles and, with Only´s brother Doyle as guitarist, the albums Walk Among Us (1982) and Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood(1983), both considered touchstones of the early-1980s hardcore punk movement. The Misfits disbanded in 1983 and Danzig went on to form Samhain and then Danzig.
Several albums of reissued and previously unreleased material were issued after the group´s dissolution, and their misic became influential to punk rock, heavy metal, and alternative rock music of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
