An okay short nextgen skateboarding game
Gameplay:
It’s your same old, same old Tony Hawk skateboarding game. The only things that have changed are:
· Nail The Trick mode (Career only)
· Stokens (for purchase of gear, boards and tricks)
· New places, tricks and skaters (which is the same with every game)
And that’s basically it. Other than that it’s the unrealistic skating-on-phone-wires skateboarding. Its repetitive but still fun.
Story:
This game lacks in story where the other games actually had something. Tony Hawk is retiring and is creating a skate team called “Project 8”. He’s scouting for talent in the city and its your goal to get on the team. Skate companies will sponsor you on the way and you’ll join Jason Lee and his team, “Stereo” in order to get exposure. As you do goals your rank in the P8 ladder will go up. Your goal is to become at least ranked 8.
Multiplayer:
Offline: Fun for 2 players with the same modes (Trick Attack, Graffiti, Horse, etc.).
Online: There is none!!!! Unlike its older sibling on the X360, this version has no online play (which sucks).
Graphic and Sound quality:
The visuals are amazing and the game features a large soundtrack with rock, pop, hip-hop and rap, old and new. The game also features 720p HD video output. The boards, shoes and clothes are all perfectly detailed down to the stitches. Overall:
The game is a same old Tony Hawk game. That means unrealistic skating, detailed boards and clothes and lots-o-tricks. Focus (time slow-down mode) is also here. The music is great but the gameplay is just too repetitive. Even worse, they took out online play! Oh well.
