Huge Regression

I've played since THPS2, and although I don't think anyone buys Tony Hawk games these days looking for shocking originality/innovative gameplay, this game will likely be the last of the genre that I purchase.
It feels shoddily done and quickly produced to make a buck from loyal fans...I consider this a scam. No more customization of characters in story mode? Glaringly worse, no more ability to be a girl in story mode? (yes, there are female fans out there..I know I'm not the norm, but throw me a bone...I don't get the point of removing it from a game) First 20+ missions forcing a character to "learn skills?" Poorly animated gray screen is subistitution for much hyped "no load screen"?
Come on, Neversoft...moves like this insult and alienate your fan base.

I got this game for christmas and i completed it about a week later which is quite a while considering it usually takes me a day or two to complete a game. Anyway although i've had it since christmas i'm still deeply immensed in the game having recently unlocked Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day!
I love the soundtrack on this game.(only because it contains Green Day!)
The only bad thing would have to be that on freeskate you cant go around all of LA like in the main story ,you have to change the 'area' to go to a diffferent part of town. One other bad thing would be park editor , not much has been done to improve this. COME ON NEVERSOFT WE WANT A DECENT PARK EDITOR FOR A CHANGE!
Over all this game is alot of fun and my favorite Tony Hawk game soooo far. A pleasant experience which should be enjoyed by all.

Activision forgets to test game again

I'll start by noting, that I am not a skateboarded, however many of my friends love the sport. Most of which would laugh if they saw this game in my hands.

As I started playing the Tony Hawk series, I absolutely loved it. I started with TH2 - which in my opinion was one of the best skateboarding/bmx games on the market (even still). With every new TH game, I became increasingly disgusted with what was being released.

This game is no different than any of the THUG series, in fact it looks like the exact same game, just with a new map and story line. Other than that, every aspect of this game is identicle to its predecessors. The fact that realism is completely ignored, and instead your thrown into a world of cartoons and incredibly fake moves. I would sure love to see someone land that 1080 backflip I just landed in real life, until then your stuck playing this game.

Also, as activision ever thought about testing their games before going public? This game is riddled with glitches and bugs, that make it unplayable at times. Going to land that jump? Almost.... Nope, I've been warped to the other side of the map on top of a building, sure I'll do a move off the top, and again nope, your boarder somehow has a mid-air collision with a fly im guessing that causes him to wipe out.

What happened to the good music noted with the TH series? I used to enjoy listening to the soundtrack, now Im forced to turn off my volume so I dont have to listen to the junk spewing from this game.

So do yourself a favor, if your looking for a good TH game, get TH2. If your looking for a game thats idea of realism is running around spraypainting everything you see, and hitting on a pixelated girl that looks like she fell down the ugly tree then this game is for you. If your idea of fun is getting stuck in one of the many glitches this game has to offer, go for it. Otherwise, avoid this rushed game at all costs.

This game is mad c0ol. The levels are insane, really realistic, and big. There are awesome tricks u can do. You can even tag stuff. Every skater has his own tag. You can ride both- a bike and a board. Get this game- best Tony Hawk game so farr.

I wonder how many more he is contracted to do ?

This is the first Tony Hawk game that I didn`t run out and buy at release. I rented it and I think I am going to demand my rental fee back because of the bugs.
Not only buggy but WHY ON EARTH do you get Hot Topic bands to do horrible covers of classic songs !!!! With the cash this series has made over the years they should have kept the tracks as original artists only.

Best Tony Hawk Game Because of BMX Bikes

The new BMX feature is what really made me buy this game. They have really finally put the best skaters in this game. It includes Bam Margera, Mike Vallely, Tony Hawk, Tony Alva, Daewon Song, and Stevie Williams. There are also some other pros. Bottem line, BUY THIS GAME!

OK so heres the thing Im actually a good looking 14 year old (ladies) mexican dude who wrote a kids review because I didnt feel like typing my email address.This is the best Tony Hawk game without counting THUG 1.It has great new tricks like the bert slide and all the flips.Career mode is all right but if you do buy it and you are looking forward to your american wasteland park at the end of the story mode dont its simply horrible.Keep sk8boarding and bmxing.

Amazing!!

i love the tony hawk games and just recently added this to my hawk collection. it is a little different then the last one. in this game you can also ride a BMX bike,which is fun. the game style is different. you do have to "learn" the tricks from someone as you progress.i think that any tony hawk fan should buy this game.

been there, done that
