I really dont see how anyone can rate this game as 5 star. I'm a fan of the tony hawks games but this doesnt offer anything new or better than the ps2 and xbox tony hawks games offer. Its basically an xbox or ps2 game with an xbox360 price tag.
Dont get me wrong this game is playable and fun in parts but not worth the money. To the people giving this game 5 star what will you end up giving tony hawks project 8 when it comes out? 9 star? If you havent seen the pics for tony hawks project 8 search for it on the internet and be amazed.

This installment of the Tony Hawk series starts of a little slower then the others, in that you actually have to learn the tricks before you can do them by taking part in the missions. this is a good thing though as it gives more emphasis on your character being a "noob" on the skating circuit.manuals, liptricks and slow motion specials are still here with the ability to make your own tricks thrown in as well. There are alot of pro skaters in the game but only really towards the end, there are even a few cameos from celebritys, including Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. The level design is excellent with lots of place to explore, you can carry out the missions or do challenges to get cash, or even the sponsor challenges to earn more skill points. The level of customization is good too, with clothing, tattoo, skate and salon shops throughout the game. Some of the missions are a bit silly but this is Tony Hawk's and you've got to expect some of that. All in all, a great game that i would definitley reccomend to any fan of the series or genre
Another Tony Hawk Game? January 6, 2006

when first putting this in the 360 i was expecting just another carbon copy of THUG or THUG 2, The missions are slightly changed which is good sicne i really didnt like THUG2, Basically what makes this game is the graphics and the no load time, The graphics are amazing on a HDTV compared to THUG2 it quite a big leap. The missions are relativley easy 95 to do, i managed to do it in under 10 hours but only since i have played Tony hawks before and know the moves! The new moves take about 10mins to learn and you will need to master these to pass the missions,Thankfully their is still manual, flatland and the special bar slow mo thing, i thought that there wasnt but you will need to learn the tricks as you go through the game which i quite enjoyed The bmx part is completley different to the skating and i found it quite fun to do, their is not alot much better than doing a double tailwhip flair over a channel!] So basically if your a tony hawks fan with a 360 thisll be impressive and one of the best tony hawks games ive played on and again its one of those games you can just turn on for an hour and just kick it to some music and try a few lines!

I was expecting this be just another run of the mill skating game, but boy was I wrong. The ability to switch between Skateboard, BMX and on Foot is one the greatest ideas in sports gaming. The soundtrack is awesome, including some classic skate music along with some new, like Green Day - Holiday (which was a supprise).Another great feature is the ability to go head to head on XBOX Live. With the huge unrestricted levels (not too dissimilar from GTA) along with the above great features, with one or two funny supprises, this has got to be the greatest skating game ever.
