Look at that junk. Why was this even released? Did Tony Hawk really need this horrible gimmick? Just let the franchise die as it is, because this is even worse. Let it die, Acitivision, let it die. Skate took any pride you had away.

The ending made me laugh :lol:

I agree, this is not a good direction for Tony Hawk games.

1/5. Is it bad that was actually hoping that this would fail? Should've kept Brutal Legend and canned this, as I'm sure even Brutal Legend will end up performing better with its somewhat low #'s.

Thanks Activision for killing even more a serie that should have stayed dead for years...

Poor Tony Hawk. This was a horrible idea. Skate > Tony Hawk. It hasn't been good since THUG, if you ask me, and even then the best days were behind them. Hahadouken

It hasn't been good since TH3, imo, although I did somewhat enjoy Project 8. Still, this is the lowest it has ever went. Trash.

Glad we feel the same here. The music games are definitely the next to go to gaming heav... errr, hell.

It'll take a lot longer for CoD to die. It'll take a multiplat that is bigger and better, and it also must have the mainstream appeal.

Wow. This game could have been decent if it were a real skate board simulator, but no turning and you have to enter your name after every event? Where's your competition?

Nevermind -- that was casual mode.

Only good TH games have been Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2/3. Rest are all garbage rehases, which dont deserve to have Tony Hawks name on it.

This game failing could actually turn out to be bad for gaming.

This isn't a sequel or a rehash, it's a new concept and a reboot of the TH franchise. This game failing could potentially mean even less risk taking from Activision and more yearly rehashes. They actually tried to do something new and it failed badly. Yes it's based on a gimmick and is basically crap but it was something new.

Wow it looks awful. Such a shame for what was once an awesome series.mo0ksi

Look at those moon physics! :o

I thought they were good up to american wasteland. To each their own I guess.

If you actually had to do the tricks, I would get it.

However, this is just more Activision junk.

THP3 and Underground were SOOOOO Good.C-Lee

That's a good point. I mainly meant that perhaps Activision will rethink their strategy of overcharging for gimmicky peripherals.

If it results in them sticking even more to what they know, then it's bad, but honestly I don't have any faith left in Activision anyway. MW2 is the only game I have bought since the Blizzard merger, and will probably be the last for a while. In fact, if MW continues down this path I probably won't buy the next one either.

At least Borderlands is selling! An original IP, a new concept, from a relatively small developer, and it's kicking ass everywhere. The review scores don't even reflect how much people love the game, and rightly so. Sorry to change the topic, but I wanted to shout out Borderlands for being an exception to the rule.

i still flip some thps2 every now and then. such a good game. i honestly think this was kind of a neat idea, but certainly nothing worth selling. more like something you propose to your friends while high, everyone says "yeah that would be cool" and it never goes any farther. maybe at activision hq they have a court recorder for their sessions?

I was expecting that since they took a year off with the Tony Hawk series that we would see a big improvement. Wow, was I wrong

The graphics have a VERY bland and flat look.

...and once again activision proves why the IW games are the only ones worth buying. I hope those guys break off before Activision runs CoD into the ground with Treyarch and the rumored 3rd studio

haha these guys at giantbomb are awesome! haha the ending was SO funny. HAHAHAHHA! GENIOUS!

Wow what a casual piece of crap. I can totally see Natal controlling just like this, as simplistic as possible with the majority of games that support it. This crappy controller was used at Microsoft's E3 aswell. What a farce.

I don't think Tony Hawk games need to die but they certainly don't need crap like this. My god.

Doesn't bode well for the game.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1-3 were great. Rest of the series was...horrible.

I hope this isn't a prelude to what natal will be :?kolkov01
