User Rating: 6.5 | Tony Hawk's Proving Ground PS3
By CDD_2008 | Review Date:
Tony Hawks proving ground is nothing special but is definitely a solid game that fans of tony hawk games will appreciate. The game has the same easy to control gameplay that is similar to all of the previous titles which means that tony hawk fans will be able to pick up and play the game easily right from the start. One of its new additions is the "nail the trick mode" what allows you to control your skater in a focused mode to land more advanced tricks easily. however this mode isn't completely useful as the controls are overly sensitive. The game has the same great customization of characters and being on the next gen systems the graphics are greatly improved.
Even though the game has all this going for it, like most of the Tony hawk games it gets really repetitive and has virtually no replay value, and the online modes lack rewards which makes the online modes feel pointless. A new feature also is the "rag doll" style bails. the games old generic bails were removed completely and even though they were repetitive they were realistic. The new bail system is definitely a step backward for the game. The park creator also is lacking no longer can you tunnel or elevate the ground on your maps and all the pieces are already set up. This really takes away from the uniqueness of the old custom parks and limits you in what you can create.
If your a fan boy than it might be worth playing but don't be suprized if you are disappointed in places
