5.0 out of 5 stars Same ole, Same ole, but that's what I like January 26, 2009

It is a High Def Tony Hawk game. The Tony Hawk games are basically all I play because the controls work the way I think they should and they are all fun. It's been that way from the beginning and I like it. Every year I get some new places to go skate and a few new things to check out. I guess I'm just easy to please, but I love it! I'm sure that it will all be messed up by the time the next one comes out (since Neversoft is no longer on the project), so I guess this could possibly be the last one I play. Especially if they move in the direction of Skate. I just want to push some buttons and stuff happen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another fun edition to the series June 28, 2008

Another year, another Tony Hawk game. I know I should be getting burned out from these games. When Proving Ground came out I didn't buy it right away because I felt like I had spent so much time with Project 8 when that was released that this would feel like overkill. Eventually I gave in (I'm an impulse buyer) and quickly found myself lost in the Tony Hawk world.

These games do an excellent job of making you feel like you're making progress. Like an RPG, everything you do builds experience. Want to just go wall ride around an area? That's fine...it will even lead to you getting better at it. I found myself spending so much time just riding around trying to max out my stats.

I don't play these games for the storylines. I play it just to have fun and complete the challenges. The game is split into separate gameplay styles, but realistically you'll go through all the storylines just to get access to all the abilities.

There has been some backlash against Neversoft, the developers, for sticking to the same formula, but frankly it works. This game is FUN. It's not a skating sim (something that EA's SKATE strives for). I understand that Neversoft may switch things up with the next game in the series, but I hope they don't change the game around too much. I'd probably stop playing if they try to go too far into the sim area and leave out the fun over the top gameplay that's satisfied me for so many years.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty bad December 8, 2008

By Joseph Miller

Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   

I loved the first three tony hawk games, and having gone a while without playing on, I gave this a shot. Several times in the game the objective/goal had unclear instructions which led to a lot of frustration trying to complete simple tasks. I play a lot of games -- I can follow directions -- but these were really bad. Also, the voice acting/cut scenes are badly done and annoying. The whole "what type of skater are you" thing is a cheap gimmick, and I beat all three career paths simultaneously. The video editor is not well thought out and is a pain to use. I returned this game and got EA SKATE which is what THPS was so many years ago -- an original, fun skating game.

Arrived as described, no problems there. The play on this Tony Hawk game is quite different from all the others. I just couldn't get into it as much. Ended up pawning it.

Bought this game since i loved the Tony Hawk series (although it's pretty repetitive). Love the areas you get to skate in, and really enjoyed just doing the free skate.

Was exactly like the description. Perfect for what I needed. The game had no issues, but it was sent in an old blockbuster game case, so that was interesting.
