If you’re a THUG fan, I recommend you steer clear

User Rating: 4 | Tony Hawk's Project 8 (Greatest Hits) PS2

Pros:

  • Tough challenges
  • Nail the trick mode
  • Competition moments

Cons:

  • Character customization really blows. Massive step backward.
  • Not much in terms of story
  • Gameplay was tweaked just enough to make it uncomfortable and unintuitive if coming from previous TH games

Nitpickey:

  • I found the level designs to be pretty dull. Not that they were bad, just not as good as I’d expect

Rating:

  • Story ** 2/10
  • Gameplay ***** 5/10
  • Atmosphere ***** 5/10
  • Overall **** 4/10
