The tony hawks series have took a step in the right direction with project 8.
Activision have scrapped the THUG style story modes for a more realistic skating game which makes it feel like an realistic sports game, rather than in previous games, it felt like you was playing jackass/tony hawks.
IT still has some funny/weird challenges, but this game focuses more on tricks, points and pleasing crowds by competing in demos and skate events which seemed to have been replaced by odd, jackass style stunt challanges in past games, more so in american wasteland.
Gameplay - 8 - the gameplay was already great, but lets face it, it needed a face lift to keep alot of people interested. Its a step in the right direction
Graphics - Amazing player models and environments with nice player and board physics
Sound - just about what youd expect from any tony hawks game
Value 8 - lengthy career mode with plenty of online options, plus freeskate. Lacking create a skater depth. No create a trick or park.
