User Rating: 9.2 | Tony Hawk's Project 8 X360
By Mallowman87 | Review Date:
As a fan of all Tony Hawk's ganes I approached THP8 with some caution, as the I feel that the series went downhill after Underground 1, with less emphasis being placed on skating, and more on graffiti, Bam Margera, and general dicking about. THP8 is a refreshing blast of just pure skating fun, with all levels blended together into one giant skating world.

Using motion capture technology, Neversoft have also managed to create currently unparalled realism into movement. This makes the game so satisfying, endless hours of fun can be had just rolling along the flat busting backside flips, manual combos, and cheeky little grinds on ledges.

With the addition of a slightly weird but wonderful "Nail the Trick" mode, the removal of the BMXing from THAW, and more goals than you could shake a stick at (With the option of either just barely doing enough for it to be "Amateur" quality to progress through the story, or doing it to the highest possible standard for gaming excellence), THP8 is a welcome update to the genre, and is a satisfying play.
