Best Tony Hawk game!

WOW...that's all I have to say about this game. I'm done. Bye. Just kidding. This game is awesome! This game marks one of the most customizeable games ever made, and the best Tony Hawk game ever made. First off, if you like the create a park option from the past Tony Hawk games, then you will most likely have some sort of spasm or seizure from joy when you meet the park editor for this game! Buildings, roads, cars, freeways, street lights, tanks, helicopters, grass, dirt, spikes, lava, even underground stuff, plus the long-awaited archways and tunnels! Gosh, I haven't even scratched the surface! You can even create your own goals for the level you make! It's just like in Tony Hawk 4 where you go up to a person and push a button and they give you a goal-except you can set where the person is (anywhere, even on top of buildings), you can set their name, the type of goal, what the person says to you, and what they say when you complete the goal. It's amazing! Do you like creating long, winding rails that go through the whole level? But did you get frustrated that they couldn't go anywhere you wanted them to? Well, be frustrated no more!! There's the classic rail tool included, but the amazing part is the new one. You set a point where you want the rail to start, move it around ANYWHERE-over freeways or buildings, under archways, or even through mid-air, and add pieces from the classic rail tool, like curves or something, and then continue creating off of that. It's amazing! As for the story mode-it's Tony Hawk with new and highly detailed levels, and a pretty good storyline. It actually makes you feel like you're in the game! The ability to get off your skateboard and walk around and jump and get on and off of buildings and powerlines is very fun and makes the whole feel and accessibility of the game greater. The create a skater mode is better, too. Before, you could only choose a face and sretch it or constrict it, but in ths one you change the size of the nose, the eyes, the jaw, the forehead, and a lot more. There are also a lot more things to choose from in the clothing and gear lineup. Everyone should get this game, wether a fan or not!

The best, but shortest of the Tony series

The Tony Hawk series is my favorite series of video games. THis happens to be the best of them.

This game has three different modes to skate in. One of them is Free Skate, where you get to choose any proffessional skateboarder you want, or any created skater, and play in the levels you have unlocked in story mode( which I will soon talk about). The next mode is 2- player mode. It's the same as free skate, just you get to play on a split screen with someone. The best mode is Story Mode. This mode starts you out a skate punk ready to try to make it pro. You create a skater and then play the first level and increase your stats. You can skate around and talk to people who give you goals to acclomplish. You can try them as many times as you want until you get them. There is also a "view goal" screen that lets you look at all the goals that you can attempt. You just select one, and it brings you to that level and you start that goal. You also unlock the option of creating a deck in story mode. There are nine secret tapes, one for each level. The ninth tape is for the level you unlock at the ned of story mode. You can only find them in story mode. You can't watch these tapes, but you can unlock videos to watch by getting a certain number of them. The only bad thing about story mode, is that it is very short. Thee are also three secret levels. levels I beat it in three days.

T.H.U.G. has four other small modes to try. Create a skater mode, create a deck mode, create a trick mode, and create a park mode. Create a skater and create a park are already unlocked at the beginning. Create a deck mode is unlocked once beating a competion late into Story Mode.

The graphics are outstanding, besides the fact that people don't look like their they're talking when they are. It looks like a dubbed Japanese movie.

Another great feature of THUG, is the option to get off your board and walk or run. You can also climb. Other new features are spine transfers, and new flatland tricks.

Overal this is my favorite video game besides the fact that story mode lasts only three days.

Better than PS2 version

This is good with great combos with tricks. A new feature is getting of your board and it works because if you're about to bail you can jump of your board and you can reach areas easier such as roof tops. You can drive cars and don't exspect much because it's mediacore, to pickup scaters you drive rite into them as if you gona run over them. The driving parts are nothing like GTA but it's okay. You can create your own tricks. This has a story line with cutcenes that are only worth watching first time through.

Playing this does not want to make me Scateboard.
Checkout SSX 3(a snowboarding game).

one of the few best video games ever made

this is a good skating game, and i love it but it fell a little bit short of what other games are. after playing TH AW it doesn't seem as good. its a good game and i like playing it, but its not the best. i do like the storyline though and why ur skating. to become well known.

Does Not Make Any Sense!

I played this game with my son and both of us were pretty blown away by how the graphics in this game were so horrendous. We stopped playing the game for a little while. It is fun skating around, but it is not as challenging as, American Wasteland.

great game
