Makers tried too hard to make it good, and failed with defects that are noticable.
User Rating: 8.5 | Tony Hawk's Project 8 X360
I wanted Project 8 ever since i heard about it coming out. I got it for Christmas and wanted to play it immediately, which i did. At first it was kind of fun, unlocking the door to the city, and continuing to do the missions to unlock more and more places and things. After a while it started to get repetative, the missions got boring, and some i just didn't want to do. They ranged from impossible to easy, and started to get on my nerves. I liked the graphics though, i think they did do a good job on that. The gameplay and scenes both have good graphics, with complimentary voices from famous actors and skaters alike. I believe the graphics and gameplay are ok, but the missions just get boring and annoying. Skating around is fun, but it doesn't help you except for improving your skills. I do go around trying to get my skills higher, but it takes forever to get one to upgrade and i haven't really noticed my player get any better. He falls on manuals and grinds like usual, even though I have upgraded them a couple of times. The whole idea of getting in the top 8 so you can get on a skate team with tony hawk is not a GREAT idea. It put a different approach on the game unlike all the others. But, to get way down to the top 8 u have to beat almost every mission. Getting sick and pro on side missions is possible, but i only get sick on a couple of the missions. It seems impossible for me to get them all in sick, but most likely others can. I know someone who beat it in 3 day, but that was on the PS2 version and i think it is somewhat different. He has seen missions that are hard that he didn't have to do on the PS2 version. So, i guess the Xbox 360 version is harder with different missions. If that is so, can you change the difficulty. If you can't, Project 8 will be an aggressive ball busting game which will make alot of noobs quit while they're ahead. Tony Hawk's Project 8 isn't the worst, but isn't the best either. The gameplay is good and i like the graphics, but the developers have to think of new ways to keep their consumers happy and interested. They need easier(even though i found it quit easy) missions, because i even have trouble on some. Yes, they did put the new trick vision thing, which is barely used when you actually play the game. So I give it a 8.4 because of it's defaults and also its great new advances on skater games.
