If Activision legitimately wants to make a good Tony Hawk game, they should just go back to what worked and build from there. That is what this game is supposed to be...

This is the second time you're getting something from the library that has made my mind snap. How so,cause I am curious now I'm still not used to Libraries having things besides reading materials / educational stuff.

Do kids even know who Tony Hawk is these days? If they are into skateboarding probably... I want to know how many people know who Madden is.

See people forgive the wacky physics and glitches in Skate 3 because it's still a damn good game, I don't see this getting anywhere near the same leniency

I might stream this a bit tonight. My last little bit of playing was... distressing.

Reviews I have seen all pretty much state this is a buggy pile of crap with an annoying unlock system.

Looking at the Giant Bomb Quick Look (I'm not playing this game until it is dirt cheap), I feel like the game was made by crazy people who don't actually know what makes THPS great and fun to play. Although, all this gameplay makes me want to go back and play all the old games.

The Tony Hawk games were groundbreaking and got so much right back in the day.... they were the first ones to do a sandbox game in the 3D era well, along with good graphics and awesome controls. They made licensed soundtracks an amazing experience. They capitalized on the popularity of skateboarding, the CKY series and Jackass, at the time.... and became the flag-bearer of all those things.
However, since then... the open-world sandbox is no longer a feature, it's damn near a genre. Licensed music is to be expected, and there has been a waning interest in skateboarding in the mainstream. Not saying it couldn't come roaring back, but I really don't think a skateboarding video game will be the medium it uses to springboard off. The original Tony Hawk games showed gamers a lot of mechanics they had never seen before, and showed what games were becoming capable of being.
It's the same reason GTA3 did so well... I remember the first time I saw it, I thought "Games can DO this?" I was awestruck, same way I was when I saw and played Tony Hawk, but... if you go back, GTA3 is archaic and limited however, the nostalgia is always there and they're able to build and improve upon their mechanics and capabilities with every new version of GTA released. Tony Hawk games.... kinda blew their load on innovation a long time ago.
I'm not saying it can't still be fun.... just not on the same level as it was in 1999.

Oh lord, f*** this game. "15 stars for next level" apparently means 21. "Press X to retry" *presses X* "declined to retry returing to free roam".
And I get to that next level it forces me back in to multiplayer AGAIN and wont let me play off line at all now.
And the frame rate is jumping around from like 5 to 80 and the screen tearing, good lord. I am physically ill.
