Wow this is easily the greatest Tony Hawk game I have almost ever played, adn I've played all of them. While it is very hard to improve the gameplay much since there isn't much left in the wolrd, the new additions (mainly the boned ollie and the Bert Slide) make great additions when used right. BertSlide can be used as soon as you land in a QP to instantly go straight back up it, to do a McTwist to a revert, to BertSlide to McTwist. And the Boned Ollie can actually get you some great speed in a half pipe to let you do a simple old fshioned double McTwist. As always, it's great to turn off the sound FX for the great music (My personal favorite is "Institutionalized"). The graphics seem good, but I'm amazed by anything past Mario 64 graphics. This game has kept me playing it for nearly a year, just going up in difficulty and finding all the gaps. Big Time suggestion: get the cheats. not because it's hard (It isn't), but because it's fun to torture Tony Hawk, leaving him in a handstand for a straight hour. If you like Tony Hawk games, get this game. If you like video games get this game. If you've ever seen a skateboard and/or sidewalk get this game. Basically, stop wastying time and go get it.
