As in the last some many games (besides THPS1) is to express your creativity to make (a) skatepark(s), create the person of your imagination(limited), or misc. stuff. But not in the last games there is a whole city to go forward which I thought was a rip-off. I thought it'd be a free roaming game like GTA or L.A. Rush, but instead, it's parts, small parts, of a city with checkpoints and they say there are no loading screens, Bah!. There are loading screens like the star on the top-right of the screen or when you go to another part of the city on foot/skateboard/bike there is a slight hesitation when you go through the stuff. There are no roads to go on to go to Hollywood or Beverly Hills or other parts(districts) of the city of L.A. But enough of the abuse there are fun parts of the game like the fact that you can ride a bike but I wanted a car like in THUG but instead a bus but good enough. There are more tricks and like in the new games, it's easier now. You get to make out with your girlfriend at the end of the game in a cutscene who is your bestfriend and partner in crime, because you're causing destruction of the city by stealing parts of it and making a skatepark, which leads to civil first-degree felony AKA terrorism. I spent a week beating it (because I beat it on easy). But if you like Tony Hawk and his acts of getting more money no wait forget it.
