Just like most people I lead a very busy life...working, taking care of things around the house, being a mom, a wife, and just the every day things that seem to come up. I didn't have the time to go from one store to another and try to find the things my family needed or wanted this holiday season. So shopping on ebay for the things they wanted was easy and fast. Not to mention not having to deal with traffic, the crowds of people in the stores, and maybe that product out-of-stock. Shopping on ebay made this holiday not so hecktick. The one game my son wanted most was Tony Hawk Project 8, finding it on ebay was easy and affordable. My son loves to skateboard and he has all of Tony Hawks games.The graffics are outstanding and my son says that you can basically do anything he want while playing the game. He says it's just like him skate boarding only better. There's no pain involved. He said this is a great game. One he definetly wanted in his collection.Read full review
iI bought this for my 6 year old son for christmas. He loves it! He has many other tony hawk games of coarse he needed to add this one to his collection. I have played with him and i am very impressed by this game it seems easy to pick up and start playing. You can find many cheat codes on the net to unlock various people,places, and tricks. Overall i give it the big thumbs up!
Any series that lasts through eight iterations is certain to have creative peaks and valleys. For Neversoft's Tony Hawk series, the best of times were represented in THPS 2 & 3 with its roughest patch coming during the THUG years. With Undergound a thing of the past and with the promise shown in last year's American Wasteland, it appeared the Tony Hawk series was back on the upswing. Tony Hawk's Project 8 features a brand new engine, built from the ground up specifically for next-gen consoles, and, unfortunately, proves that while the series has plenty of potential, Neversoft may have run out of gas. Join Project 8 Set in an expansive city that features no in-game load times and the ability to trick a line through all ten zones (should you have the skill), this is the first truly open skating city. Once each area is unlocked, you can go anywhere, anytime and pick any objective your heart desires. Your goal is to rise from your sad #200 ranking among amateur skaters and crack the top eight. Every secret token found, gap crossed, and challenge beaten propels your created skater up the rankings. Complete enough challenges and you'll enter the Birdman's elite Project 8. Size Matters The large cityscape is seamless in its construction and every goal is well-integrated into the level design. Skate up to any highlighted character to engage in specific challenges, including the re-modeled Classic Mode, which now works within the structure of the Career Mode. That's right, instead of having to play classic two-minute Tony Hawk challenges in a separate mode, you can now do so in the middle of the city. In fact, completing the ten challenges in each Classic zone can go a long way to boosting your rankings. You'll also come across plenty of graffiti in the streets. This isn't just worthless scrawl. There are "Owned" graffiti tags from rival skaters which, when touched, initiate an instant challenge. Follow the illuminated trick line as long as possible to take back ownership of the area. More interesting are the numerous spot challenges. You can't skate more than a few yards without seeing a spot challenge spray-painted on the ground or on a wall. Some require a grind to see how far you can make it without bailing. Others test your manual skills and, more importantly, your (wo)manhood. Finding and mastering these challenges is almost as intense as hunting down gaps. The majority of skill contests have three possible rankings: Amateur, Pro and Sick. You can get to Project 8 by mastering the Amateur level of difficulty on challenges. This is a cake walk and even the Pro difficulty is pretty easy. The only real test of your skating prowess is nabbing Sick ratings. Some of these are incredibly difficult and may even push true T-Hawk vets to the limit. The only time a ranking is not involved is when you face one of the ten Pro Challenges. Some of the best vert and street skaters have specific skill tests. While a few of the old guard come into play, including fan-fave Bob Burnquist, the majority of the pros are newer stars. The young (and ridiculously talented) Ryan Sheckler heads up a list that includes Paul Rodriguez, Jr., Nyjah Huston and Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins. Bam Margera shows up in the Slums. Fitting. Not only are there challenges all around, but every grind, manual and big air matters. Instead of spending stat points, this year all stats are improved based on your gameplay. The more feet you grind, the faster your stat improves. This providesRead full review
Can be a little fustrating when your brushing up on your skills. But the clarity makes it your jib tricks clear. Tony has paved the way for skateboarding gaming. At one time I was in the Tony Hawks pro skater world and only time can pull you away from it. There is just know room for board um. This game could help you get over your girlfriend breaking up with you , if your bro's are sick of your snivling. Sick graphic too. Emaz1ne .....
Purchased this game for my 10 year old. He enjoyed it on nintendo DSXL and wanted to play it on a big screen. Plays it occassionally, not as often as I thought he would. Interset are changing but when he uses it he seems to enjoy it. He says the graphics are better on the PS2 game. That seems to be a big part of what he will play, games with good graphics.
