    Embarassing

    This game is possibly the worst game I've ever played. Not so much because of the game itself, but because of how it ruined a perfectly good franchise. I know, I know, if you want to enjoy a Tony Hawk game, don't play it... Read Full Review

    After the success of the two Tony Hawk Underground games, the next entry in the series was heavily promoted with one major new feature: a huge one-level environment without those pesky loading times. Well, let me start t... Read Full Review

    THAW is very addictive and a good addition to the Tony Hawk's series

    Tony Hawk. Whenever the name springs to mind, one thinks of insane 900's and massive vert ramps. Since the creation of this highly addictive series, Neversoft has been steadily adding new content to the franchise. ... Read Full Review
