good, but could have been better
User Rating: 7.4 | Tony Hawk's Project 8 X360
At its core, Tony Hawk's project 8 is a quality game with a lot of potential, but it just does not seem to have that one element that makes the series so much fun. First of all, a lot of this game's potential is hindered by a few technical problems. This game has a small problem with the frame rate and a few other issues with multiplayer that are rare, but very obvious when they happen. The game's nonlinear story line is great if you just want to explore the game's huge city and just skate, but for those who enjoy something more straightforward like in THAW, this game might seem a bit empty. The character creation in this game is also very limiting.
Fortunately, this is where my complaining ends. Project 8's detailed open environment is huge with lots of things to do and literally hundreds of goals to complete. You will never be bored in this game because there is always some place to explore and goals to do. This game's multiplayer is quite good to. There is a new game mode called walls that is really fun and it has several large stages. So whether you are a hard core player or new to this series, you should certainly give this game a try.
