Yet another Tony Hawk game.
User Rating: 6 | Tony Hawk's Proving Ground X360
So it's been at almost 10 years since the first THPS came out, and every year since then another one has come out. Activision did the old "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it". So the game has become stagnant and you really don't need to play much further then 3. Even with the latest GTA style of THUG it's still the same game. So when Proving ground promised something need I was excited. Well everything that is new falls flat on it's face. With the EA title .Skate out THPS has some competition, and it's competitor beats it in most catagories. The primary THPS elements are there. Simple controls to do fantastic stunts that no one could attempt in real life. Right? Wrong! The controls in this game are really funky. Attempting to do an actual stunt is tricky with the way the controls are set up. You press buttons so you can go into slow mo and then hit more buttons to do tricks. Then you land. It sounds so easy and it's really not! The controls are very klunky and frustrating. The graphics aren't up to snuff for current consoles either. I could understand if I played the Wii or the PS2 version, but I expect more from the XB 360 teams. It's really too bad. The music is pretty much the same, and the sounds are standard for the skater games. This game needs to be brought back to the drawing board and re-done. It's a big disapointment compared to THPS debut on last generation's consoles. I would wait until the next game comes out.
