Wait! This does not live up to the hype of the PS3 version!

If you're reading this review, you're probably a Tony Hawk fan who's hesitant about purchasing Project 8 for the PS2 because you're quite aware of the PS3 version. You're not alone, and you're absolutely right to hesitate.

The PS2 version was obviously created to appease Tony Hawk fans who are holding off on buying a PS3 for a while - and unfortunately, it shows. It's a sloppy, buggy, and pretty significantly toned-down version of its PS3 counterpart. Specifically, it's missing the famed "Nail The Trick" option, it is split up into levels like the older games instead of one big level as it's supposed to be (and was in the previous "THAW"), and the pedestrians give tips to the player that are obviously meant for the PS3 version because they just don't exist here.

So overall, thanks to Activision for the attempt to keep the fans happy, but you needed to put a few months more work into this version first, because this feeble knock-off is insulting to the fans.

false review and description

hey it's not missing the nail the trick mode. it does have it and people could get it for the 360 not the ps3. but it is seperated into levels and it doesn't look as good as the 360 (obviosly) the description says you can do the bail thing but you cant its telling the description for the next gen consoles and this game is produced or something by a different company shaba i think its alright though (im not really a kid too) dont know password

Arg....

I've been looking forward to project 8. I figured that they'd only improve on the series. Unfortanetly, this is not true. The create-a-skater is all but nonexistent, the animations are glitchy, and I went through more walls than I care to count. Even the skate shop is crap. There is virtually no point in the sponsors messages, they do no good. the only good thing they added was the movies to show where some of the gaps are. Easily the worst Tony Hawk game yet...

The Best EVER!

This is the best game that I have ever played! I love it so much! I have not ever played a game with so much that you could do. All of the missions are fun, and sometimes surprising! I love it sooooo much. I reccomend it to anyone! There is nothing bad in it. Go play it!

when I first heard about the new tony hawk game I thought i would be better thaen the others. unfortunaly I was wrong, this game is not worth the money. there are tons of glitches where u get stuck places and you have to restart. u cant do flips of run up walls like american wasteland. you also have to go thre levels that are very small and are boring. listin to me, buy american wasteland, it is such a better game or for 50 bucks u could buy a game that is not worth playing. the only thing that got better was when its loading it shows skate videos.

Glitchy, glitchy.........................but fun.

Overall I think this is a fun game, which may or may not piss you off frequently. I have to agree with many of the other reviewers who claim this game is glitchy. This is VERY true at least for this PS2 version. I now cannot count how many times I have had to restart the system because the game had froze. Maybe the PS3 version would better support this game, I don't know. To sum it up though, it is fun and time consuming and will be sure to keep you playing until you finally have to tear yourself away. (Unless of course it pisses you off first ;) My best advice would be to wait until it goes down in price if you just can't bear to spend X amount on a glitchy game

This game sounds like "Garbage".

Wow! I jus cant believe this game at one point. It is awful and sucks. It has the worst graphics and most challenging goals I have ever played which I just can't do all this. This Tony Hawk game is even more worse than American Wasteland. Why are his video games getting harder and harder??? The only Tony hawk game I have ever loved was Pro Skater 3 which is the easiest and best graphic game I have ever played. Stay away from this, get Pro Skater 3 insted.

Another year, and another Tony Hawk game

It seems every year that another Tony Hawk game rolls around that isn't really all that different from the one that came out the year before. And here we are, holiday time, and another Tony Hawk game. Tony Hawk's Project 8 is about what you'd expect from the long running skateboarding series: lots of skaters, comic relief, easy to pull off tricks, nicely sized skating areas, minimal loading times, and zero innovation. The game has pretty much the same graphics and look that the past few Hawk games have had, but this time around they're getting tiresome and showing their age on the good 'ol PS2. Not to mention that there are some noticable graphical glitches to boot. The tricks and combos are as simple to pull off as ever, with some minimal new features thrown in that don't really change the overall gameplay. Not to mention that many of the skating areas seem more recycled from past arenas in previous games more so now than ever, giving you a feeling of deja vu as you grind and skate around. The soundtrack is decent enough, but this time around the comical elements are getting tired, and the ridiculous physics are growing tiresome as well. For being the eighth game in the series, the Tony Hawk franchise is getting Madden-ized: the same game gets released year after year with no real changes or improvements. The last time I played a Tony Hawk game that really wowed me was way back with Tony Hawk 2 and 3, and that seems like forever ago. All in all, if you're a longtime fan of the series, you'll probably give Project 8 a look, but chances are that you'll know what you're getting here, and you'll dig it anyway. As for Neversoft and Activision: come on now, next year give us something different and better.

BEWARE!

The Xbox 360 and PS3 (next-gen) versions are different from the current gen Xbox and PS2 versions. They are produced by a different developer and are RADICALLY different (ie: next gen - open ended... current gen - like Tony Hawk 1). Do NOT purchase this game.

Terrible
