It's a fun game and brings back nostalgia, but every map has the same missions.

Not as atrocious as people say it is. But honestly, nothing special at all. Not an improvement over past Tony Hawk games and definitely not a game that should be released for this generation of consoles. Disappointing because I've loved Tony Hawk series since THPS when I was eight years old.

Repetitive, boring, and pointless. The short bursts of classic Tony Hawk gameplay can't save this glitchy barebones mess of a game.

The only thing this game really had going for it was the nostalgia factor for me, having played a lot of THPS games when I was younger. Unfortunately, this game played and looked like it belonged in the past with those games. The graphics were okay at best and the framerate dipped to what felt like 15 at times, some of the levels were worse than others. The free roam was so limited, all you could do was collect each levels items; all of the score challenges loaded you into a separate lobby, so you spend a ton of time bouncing between free roam and private challenges lobby. Very unintuitive gameplay design.

Game is poor in my opinion. Should have been like the previous THPS games. This one it seems like you just go to eachurch blinking object to get to the next mission you want to do. I miss the skate tournaments and everything.

Boring levels, less moves than prior games, framerate issues, etc. Sometimes the gameplay can feel alright, but otherwise it's a mess.

The game honestly feels like they just threw something together and said, "Yeah, lets go with that." The game jumps/skips when you enter into "missions". Speaking of those missions, they are terrible. Stuff like having to skate in a pool trying to knock beach balls out of it, or doing fetching ice cream cones scattered throughout the level and delivering them to a different location on the map. Very disappointing.

I wound up cancelling my preorder based on online reviews from IGN.com, etc. I had high hopes for this game, all based on the fact that I grew up playing THPS all the time, but was bummed to hear it wasn't good. I'd rent it before buying.

Wish it was multi player so the whole family could complete against each other!! But it is still a great game for family night without all the shooting and violence we see in other games

I've heard maybe poor rumors about this game being broken, unfinished, and poorly put together. Wait for price drop. Or just play it and have fun accepting what it is.
