I'm not a big fan of THPS games to I picked this game up for $20. It's solid but definatley has its flaws.
There are new tricks as well as the ability to move items around to create tricks, like ramps, rails, table etc.
The gameplay is solid, although some tricks are hard to due because of the very little margin of room on the stick there is. You have to be pretty precise and often end up doing the wrong tricks. The hall of meat is pretty fun and takes the edge off of messing up because you basically get rewarded for destroying your skater.
The career mode in my opinion is HORRENDOUS! The challenges are often frustrating. There are plenty to do as well. You can unlock new skaters for free skate, gear, and decks. Not much to say about this game. It's a skating game with a more realistic approach then Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and that alone is enough to get my attention.
A solid game and around a 7 for a score.
