Compared to the earlier Tony Hawk games, this one bites! You can't play a girl (NOT ONLY GUYS BUY THIS GAME, YOU KNOW!!!) My niece and I went through this game in 3 days. The other games are STILL entertaining, even now. We went back to Underground 2 for some real fun.

ARE THEY KIDDDING???

Okay, I've been a fan of the tony hawk series since the very first one came out for ps1. Since then I've counted the days down til the next installment in the series. All of them have been amazing. Project 8 in comparison to the previous titles is HORRIBLE.

This game feels like something that Neversoft threw together in 20 minutes so they could make some quick cash. The majority of things that made the past titles great, have been taken out. Wtf??? NO create a park mode. Almost no mini-games. The create your own skater mode has been toned down too. You have to earn almost all the tricks you're gonna use. The levels are uninspired and boring. The graphics aren't the best either. The only new thing they added is the slow motion effect where you can flip the board in slow motion. Thing is, it's REALLY HARD to land any of these tricks!

There aren't that many levels either. And they only include ONE level from the early series. Buy this ONLY if you're OCD and have to own EVERYTHING that tony hawk has put out.

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.

Horrible Game

This game was truly disappointing, dispite all the hype. I don't think I've been this disappointed with any game, ever. I played the game for a total of *Maybe* a half an hour, and couldn't bring myself to play it anymore.

It is a waste of your money.

They really screwed us this time..

This game is a joke. I've played all of the Tony Hawk games up unto this one, and this one is absolutely awful. They must've thought, "Hey - how can we make the worst game possible? Let's take out EVERYTHING that made the games fun, and insert as many advertisements and glitches as we can!"

Gone are the multiple camera angles, create a skater options (you get about 5 hairstyles - bald, mohawk, dreads, nothing NORMAL, 3 faces, a couple shirts, and a few name brand jeans), I could go on but it's not worth it.

Added are glitches galore. Since when are frontside 180s BACKSIDE 180s? And vice versa? The frame rate is horrible, the graphics (except for the cutscenes) look straight out of a PS1 game. Everytime you land, the board swaps around under your feet. I couldn't play for more than 10 minutes, that's how frustratingly terrible this game is. I was looking forward to it and ignored the terrible reviews, but I was duped just like the rest of the fans. If you're a fan, you will be disappointed, probably angered like me.

Bottom line, don't buy it, don't even RENT it. If a friend tries to give it to you, stomp on it till it bleeds.

Terrible

I like Tony Hawk's Underground 1 and 2. BUT THIS IS A SUPER DUPER, SODA DRINKING, KNIFE THROWING, AWFUL, AND TERRIBLE GAME!!!!!!!!! The story mode is super hard. Why the heck do we have 1 place to skate when we didnt do story mode!!!!! I WANT TO PUT THE DISC IN MY MOUTH AND CHOP IT AND THROW IT OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN AND GO OUTSIDE AND SCRATCH IT ON THE SIDEWALK AND STEP ON IT WITH MY MUDDY SHOES AND GO INSIDE AND PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE UNTIL IT MELTS!!!!! AVOID, I TELL YOU!!!! AVOIDDDD!!!!!!!!!

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...

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.
