Solid, something to play when you're bored.
User Rating: 7.4 | Tony Hawk's Project 8 PS3
The latest Tony Hawk video game tries to be innovative and take advantage of the PS3's Sixaxis features, but there really isn't enough substance to make up for what is becoming a dying genre. Project 8 is a fun game.. for about 20 minutes. Then it's time to play something else. This is definitely a rent-first game. The characters and stages look nice, but they can get boring in a hurry. There are a lot of objectives, but most of them are just recycled versions of things you've already done. Actually, you will spend a lot of time with this game wondering if you really need to do certain things, because you feel like you've done something similar already. The size of the city you wander about in is also quite disappointing. I was expecting something much larger and more immersive. The soundtrack is solid but has a few retarded songs.
