The Project 8 for the PS2,PS3,Xbox and Xbox360 show what can they do to make the game on different systems.
User Rating: 8.8 | Tony Hawk's Project 8 PS3
Tony rides again in the next Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game from Activision. The game challenges players to experience the intensity and pressure of skating against some of the world's top pros in true to life competitions as they aim to become the #1 skater. Tony Hawk's Project 8 was build from the ground up and made the players to see what you can do when you basically get to the real life version of a game. The new tricks that give you are what you can do in real life. There are loading screens as you seen BUT the best part about the loading screen is that they play real life videos of the pros that are in the game so it doesn't make you bored waiting for a bar to go from the left side to the right. Activision and Neversoft really made the game like they have made them in the past. They had some-what of a story line where you would do goals, go around cities and making yourself prove-able to all these skaters that you want to be on the Project 8 team. The create-a-skater mode is the same in every game almost. But in Project 8 the mode was very limited at first. You can only be a Urban Skater,Punk Skater or a Kid and you edit from there. You unlock different items when you complete amount number of goals. The levels that are quite retro, Really put some fun into this game. You could see all the old levels and alot of new ones. Neversoft and Activision really put time as you can see in the making of the levels to play. The goals go perfectly with the levels and some could be hard. Moving on. The balance bar in Project 8 leaves and shadow as it moves left to right or right to left. When you stop grinding or doing a lip trick, The bar still stays there but its faded away into the background but you can still see it. Same as the manual bar. If your a person that loves to get the 100+mill scores, This would really help you because you don't have to worry about guessing where the meter bar is that. The sound in the game is really clear and you can hear the people from far away. Also the graphics on this game are AWESOME! When you get a message on your video phone, The graphics look like the PS3 when they are riding there board, But the face and body are still pretty good. The graphics overall in the game were ok and really awesome for the PS2 and Xbox. The Xbox 360 and PS3 version of this game were much better in graphics because they can put alot more things into the game since its more hi-tech then the PS2 and Xbox. The Xbox 360 has online compatible as you see the PS3,Xbox and PS2 don't have. The game would be better if it was online and would be a better seller since ALOT of people are basically online-freaks(like myself). So that would have been a better option then have it off-line. BUT making it online would have to make the older games (THUG and THUG2) go off-line because THUG,THUG2 and THAW run all on the same server. Well thats basically the game overview. Hope you like my review!
