4.0 out of 5 stars Getting up again, December 17, 2006

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Tony Hawk's Project 8 (Video Game)

The way I see the Tony Hawk series is like this: from THPS to THUG 2, Neversoft was running a marathon, and they were doing really well, too. Then, in 2005, Neversoft tripped by making American Wasteland, which wasn't necessarily a bad game, it just wasn't nearly as good as the others. Now, the eighth installment in the series has come, and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed. At E3, they said that Tony Hawk's Project 8 would be returning to the roots of the Tony Hawk series, and I interpreted that to mean that it would be like a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. I bought the game and played it. The graphics weren't as good as I expected, but they didn't suck. Overall, Neversoft could have done a bit more polish on this game, and it's definitely not worth $600, but it's a solid entry in the series, and anybody who has been a TH fan since the beginning should give it a whirl.

Ok, first off I have TH3, TH:Underground, TH:AWL all for the PS2. I was impressed by American Waste Lands amount of content and levels. Project 8 doesn't have as much content (No level building or real character creation), but what it serves out it well worth it. They revamped the system and that takes developement time. The open-end game play on the PS3 is sweet. I played the game on the PS2, but was not impressed and didn't think I'd get it due to the lack of content. I purchased a PS3 and was limited to option so I purchased Project 8 and to be able to skate from the residential district to the skatepark to the school and then to the city busting out tricks all along the way is sweet and provides a new experience to Skateboarding on consoles. You can just go on forever. After this I can't wait to see what comes next. If for the Xbox360 or the PS3 the game is well worth it.

I haven't played Tony Hawk games since THUG, so I really wanted to try the new one out to see what new stuff has come about. I'm not very happy with most of anything in this game; I know it's not bad, it's just skating around doing a couple of tricks and getting points. but the missions seem dumb, and repetitive, they still have this whole thing where you can walk, which seems pointless to me because it doesn't do anything good except but climb stuff, if you get on your feet skating, its because you're gonna run to get some speed before you do your line. I like the fact that the levels are connected, and the new nail the trick missions are fun. Besides that, the game doesn't have the fun it used to, neversoft is more concerned on you chaining 60 repetitive tricks into a combo that actually making an enjoyable skating game, I do enjoy chaining some combos, but not 5 minutes of the same crappy tricks just to get the multipliers. Also, besides the pointless walking, they have some features which are new to me that seem pointless as well, like the spinning around on the mailbox or pole, & grind stalls. To me, they should try to make this more like THPS 3 or 4 those were really fun, no matter how much I played them, I never got sick of them. I hope they do figure out that they should concentrate more on good missions, less combo chaining, and really fun stages instead of revamps of the old stages, like the school & fun house, when there are so many other new locations and countries to skate on!!! But no, were stuck in suburbia and the old factory, again!!! I really do hope they get their heads together and the next THPS is really good, but I'm not going to find out, because this is the last time I spend any money on any Tony Hawk game.
