the old THPS games were fun on the PS2, but this game cant seem to be fun on this version
GOOD: Awesome soundtrack, fairly long story mode
BAD: Lack of facial animation and lack of pedestrians in free skate makes the game feel lifeless, poor controls and camera often make goals harder than they should, some cutscenes makes you want to play the xbox 360 or PS3 version, Freak out has been removed, claustrophobic levels, level select is back
Because the skaters faces never move and when you play free skate, the game feels like there's no life to it. The controls and camera are often a pain in some goals and dont respond the way you want to. Every time i watch the goal cutscenes i wanna play the xbox 360 version instead of this. Freak out being removed is disappointing, i loved doing that. The size for each level feels way too small, i keep getting claustrophobic and the no loading isnt in this version which is really annoying.
OVERALL:
If your gonna play this game, buy the xbox 360 version, it's way better than this one.
