Ultrarealistic graphics, enhanced physics and super-responsive controls simulate the high-flying feeling of skating with every sick trick and gnarly bail. You'll have to roll out your big bag of tricks against some of the world's ace skaters to become number one while locked in the intense, lifelike competition held on several heavy obstacle courses.Experience more goals, side missions and secret areas during hours of trick-based gameplay. Wickedly detailed character animations with realistic reactions on and off their boards, an all-new physics system, the breakthrough Bail mode and the ability to move ramps and rails throughout the city combine for an all-encompassing thrill ride. Blaze through photo shoot locations while watching yourself in picture-in-picture to get the best-looking shot as you try to claim high-roller status. Rad 3D body scans of pro athletes and motion-captured skateboard tricks add to the gravity-defying action, while new in-game record keeping lets you track your stats.

this is a great game. the graphics are next gen. although some times it tends to glitch. nothing major.the controls are great as well. just like the rest of the tony hawk games. I really enjoy the dual stick controls in the up close controls. and for the price, it is a great buy. I am not sure how it measures up to skate as I have not played it. but thi is still a good game to own. I recommend this game.
the only down fall for this game is it does take a little getting use to. but hey, all games do. go out and purchase this game, you won't be dissapointed.

Classic THPS gameplay

Plays like all the other THPS games, but adds some new challanges to keep it fresh :) If you've never played a THPS game, pick it up, as it is a fun game. If you have played them, try the demo 1st, as you might not think its worth the money.

This game was pretty cool to start out playing, but then you saw all the things that should have been improved. The lighting was off, the falling could have been improved, the soundtrack was so-so, etc. I don't recommend this game as something that needs to be in your game collection, there are better ones to come.

Project 8 good outing

Tony Hawk's Project 8 was by far the best game in the series yet. The arge envirnonment with a consistant background made the game flow and the graphics were significantly better than any of the previous releases. However, as the game went on the goals became quite repetative. This is nothing new in Tony Hawk games, but it leaves something to be desired. If the franchise moed out of their comfort zone and experimented I feel the game could become truly superior. A feature that I enjoyed was the focus/nail-the-trick feature. It made skating more real with the ability to move the individual feet. This brought more realism to the game and I enjoyed the level of control that it brought.

In short, the game looks phenomenal. You have so many options in THP 8 as to how you can play the game and what you can do with your gaming life.
