Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Tony Hawk is thirty-nine now and yet already nine of those years have been spent appearing in Activision’s yearly skateboarding sims. As such he has nothing at all to prove any more but in this game you do, as the series takes a turn away from the action adventure gameplay of previous titles and recalls the glory days of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2. Not only does it include real world landmarks from the older game, such as FDR Skatepark and the Love Park, but it also sees the return of favourite features such as Create-a-Park. In the main single player mode you create your own skater and then follow their entire skateboarding career in one of three classes: hardcore, rigger and career. Hardcore skaters aren’t interested in competitions or trophies, career skaters are and riggers prefer to invent tricks and layouts out of ordinary environments. The control system expands on the Nail the Trick concept from the last game, which essentially creates a kind of slow motion bullet time that zooms the camera in closer to your board. Proving Ground adds in Nail the Grab and Nail the Manual which work in a similar way. New moves include the turbo boosting Aggro Kick and Skate Checking, which basically amounts to knocking people out of the way. Like many new game at the moment the online community will allow you to upload videos of your endeavours as you attempt to prove you’re the best, at the best new Tony Hawk’s game for years.

 Rating:  - Just too difficultGraphics, levels and control are all as good as any of the previous games, but the problem is with the difficulty that comes up. The primary problem of previous games - the ease with which the game could be completed - has been turned on its head. Most of the goals are completable and are a fun challenge, but too many are nigh on impossible. The 'sick' level of completion is now most of the time beyond the reach of the skateboarder's skill, though this may be corrected by going through the game and coming back to goals. The biggest example is in the classic mode goals, to achieve sick level of which you have to complete all 10 goals in one two minute run. While this is pheasible in the first couple of levels, the scores become too high ...

Although the graphics are impressive and the handling of the board feels pretty realistic, the game play lets this title down. On the plus side, there are a few new additions from previous games - like the new skater style game play in which each task either develops your Hardcore, Rigger or Career skater style. This is not half as much fun as it sounds and Rigger in particular, where you have to place and trick off your own quarter-pipes and rails etc just gets annoying! Then there's the problem of realism. One minute you'll be admiring the superbly realistic graphics but the next you'll be collecting ... Read More: |
