About

Tony rides again in a totally redesigned next-gen Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game from Activision. The game challenges players to experience the intensity and pressure of skating against some of the world's top pros in true to life competitions as they aim to become the #1 skater. With an entirely new gameplay engine, the trick-based gameplay features amazing, detailed character animations that react realistically on and off their boards, a new physics system, an innovative bail mode and the ability to move ramps and rails throughout the city.

    Yet undeniably, the game is absurd fun. The new engine, plus Nail the Trick, a slow motion tool that gives you precise control over footwork, plus a few more ditties, dropped into a truthfully free-roaming skate heaven cooks an undeniably addictive next-gen video drug.

    For those of you who have strayed from the Tony Hawk series, this is the return to form you've been waiting for. The extreme sports series is back to its best.

    Despite the addition of nail-a-trick, you’ll still find Project 8 to be the same old combo-heavy bliss you’ve come to know and love

    It's certainly disappointing that the PlayStation 3 is so far behind the Xbox 360 game. Framerate issues are apparent at every other turn, and the lack of online play really hurts. Project 8 is a worthy game to pick up, just preferably not on this system.

    Project 8's tutorial should help new players get into the swing of things, but ultimately it's fans of previous installments that will get the most out of this game. The redesigned career mode and multiple difficulty goals inject a lot of excitement into the formula, and features like online leaderboards and Xbox Live support really make the Xbox 360 version stand out.

    Heck, I'd be happy to see Tony Hawk 2 re-imagined for the new generation. I hope Neversoft is up to the challenge of making the Tony Hawk series brilliant again, because I still love the series. I just want my love to be justified.
