This is a good game. Its just like the first one on n64 they had. Almost same controls. Just like playing the old one with new boards and better graphics

Good for memories but the nostalgia wore off quickly as this is the same game from previous years. I felt as if it was been there done that. I understand it could be a great game for the new generation that never played these games in the past but if you're a seasoned pro skater player id consider renting or borrowing before a purchase. Find it on sale. Normal price isn't worth it.

Although this game has been reviewed very poorly by pretty much every big video game website out there, I found a very unique place for it in my heart it totally brought me Bach to the old day of playing the THPS series, this game is beautiful the gameplay has never been better and the online is a bit fun and very competitive

Despite what a lot of people say, I thoroughly enjoy this game. It is very glitchy and has graphics equal to a PS2 it seems like. BUT it brings back so many memories of playing this game growing up. Wait until it goes on sale and pick it up for sure.

If you can get this game for $25 or less its a great value. However you may be feeling a little bummed if you pay more. If you like the original games you'll enjoy this. Keep in mind the graphics aren't much better than those.

This is not the best Tony hawk game ever made lets get that straight. It does not get very good reviews the gameplay however is pretty good. The game itself is alright (story line if you call it that) but the freeplay is where it shines. I like just messing around and not taking it too seriously. If you can catch this game cheap try it out do not pay full price though as its not worth it.

I was very disappointed with this game. The graphics are great but the physics are awful. It doesn't remind me of the original PlayStation versions at all. Those I can play all day but this one makes me bored immediately . Bails are ridiculous. It's as if what ever position you were in at the time of the incident, your remain frozen in that position until you slowly hit the ground. I have been trying to sell this game on offer up but no takers yet/it's been posted for almost a month at half retail value-this game is a perfect example as to why the new platforms need Skate 4!

The new Tony Hawk game gets back to its roots, but just doesn't keep the interest going. After a few hours, I found myself bored and going back to other games. Still fun to play, but only in spurts.

So you are basically set up with every level being a group skate with multiplayer functionality. The missions are fun but it isnt the open world it used to be.

Tony Hawk game is a great game once you have learned the tricks, which is not hard at all. With a little practice you will love and enjoy this game.

THPS was a classic back in the day so decided to pick this game up when it came out. Pretty fun but unfortunately no split screen to simultaneously play with a friend in the same room.

Although a playable game. Many glitches and patches to download. Plus you can't get off your board. Wait for it to go under $20.

The game is okay but it takes to long to learn all the functions. I'm very busy so I only have a few hours a week to game, and I rather spend those hours playing something I already know how to play like Madden, or COD. If you spend a lot of time gaming and don't mind taking the time out to learn all the tricks, I could see this game being fun to play. But you have to have patience and be willing to put lots of hours into it. Don't expect to buy it and be doing tricks and skating around within an hour. It won't happen.

Was not happy with the quality of the game, I purchased a $10 arcade tony hawk on xbox 360 which had more replay value then this game. If you love the Tony Hawk series don't buy this game, it will make you hate any future Tony Hawk games. The graphics are bland and the game is constantly glitching. Just stay away stay away stay away.
