  Pros: very challanging and keeps you hooked, good story, fun to play, very realistic movements, looks better on 360 version, no load times during game play, shorter load times on 360

  Summary: This game is very fun, definatly my favorite tony hawk game! The storyline is pretty short and esay to complete until you get to the top 8, it can takes hours to rank up one rank. I got to rank 2 but it took me an extra 20 hours to get there from number 8, but the game is still really fun! Some of the sick goals are nearly impossible like on one you have to score 3 million points, and following a combo line at the same time! This game is very realistic in it's movements, and it has a lot to offer but one thing that really just made me feel ripped off was that it had no create a park and the create a skater is very limited. This game is really awesome, but it could have been a lot better, I miss the ways of the old tony hawk games..

  This game offers nothing it has promised!

  Pros: Nice Graphics and Animation.

  Cons: Not realistic as claimed.

  Summary: ***Summary***
  
  For anyone expecting something different from this Tony Hawk and believing the claims of "Most realist skateboarding game" will be severally disappointed.
  
  I loved the original Tony Hawk 1

  Summary: ***Summary***
  
  For anyone expecting something different from this Tony Hawk and believing the claims of "Most realist skateboarding game" will be severally disappointed.
  
  I loved the original Tony Hawk 1 and 2; but after that it got "Old" the newer versions seemed to offer new to the table since create-a-skatepark. I abandoned the Tony Hawk series after playing Thrasher for the PlayStation 1, truly a simulation of skateboarding and you really got the feel of skating.
  
  To my surprise Tony Hawk project 8 looked like it was going to under-go all the proper changes. The demo trailer makes it look amazing. HOWEVER, don't let those realistic looking tricks and incredible animation fool you, after 30 seconds of actually playing you start doing dry land 540s hitting rails successfully at angles more perpendicular then parallel, and proceeding to do ridiculous spins off the rail. As they promised physics and gravity were added, however I think they need a new physicist, because I can safely say I have never seen someone fly 50ft away from a small ramp they wiped out on. I was most disappointed in the fact that you still do not pump to gain speed, once again you crouching seems to create some mysterious continuous force of speed which you cannot control. This really eliminates any actual skateboarding feel, I remember with the game Thrasher, speed was such a key factor and you had to have a good understanding of your surroundings rather then just randomly hit whatever jump pops in front.
  
  I can understand many of you that still adore the Tony Hawk series you will still like this but you cannot honestly say anything new was brought to the table besides better graphics.
  
  This game may have been made from the ground up, but it looks like they salvaged the components from the old one and put it back together the same way it was.
