 Not great! Not bad! October 13, 2008
Another game in the Tony Hawk series. If it is something different you want, this isn't it. If you want a high-def version of Tony Hawk to play on the PS3 this is it!
=c
 very disappointed... October 12, 2008
why couldn't they make the game to where you could just go straight to skating competitions in front of screaming fans & earning big bucks. here's something else: retro decks IN THE FISHTALE SHAPE not the bannana board, man i hate the bannana board. I've been palying the hawk series games since PS1, & i'm ticked that this game sucks sooo bad. they didn't even think of the folks like myself who've been playin this game since the beginning, we don't wanna have to spend hours having to reaccomplish all the tricks again, mindless repitition, it's boring. there should be a seperate section on the game for beginners. i dunno, but they could've done a much better job. heck i couldn't even get the cheat codes on the game sites to work. i'm selling this game....
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.
I must have missed something.... April 15, 2008

I'm oldschool. Had the original Tony Hawk for PS1(?) or was it PS2? Either way, it was a LONG time ago. I enjoyed it alot.
So with the purchase of PS3 recently, and the fact Target had this on clearance for $$26.00, I thought it would be a score.
I was wrong. This game has no structure at ALL. You pretty much free skate. You set up some jumps so you can perform some of the 'goals', but after 10 oe 15 hours of play, I've lost complete interest. It's a real shame.
So now, there apparently is some other version of Tony Hawk I should have purchased. Oh well... Skaters are lame, as are the games.
