    Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is a solid complement to the console versions and the best Tony Hawk game on the Nintendo DS. Sure, you're not getting the Rigger Editor or Video Editor, but you do get to skate around in three cities with fundamentally fun gameplay.

    It will appeal to both the old-school THPS fans (like me) and the newer crowd who are more familiar with the post-THPS3 games. For skating fans who like gaming on the go, Proving Ground is a worthy choice.

    The easy learning curve is something that always made the series a good bet, but with games like Skate emerging onto the scene with a more intuitive control scheme, it may be time for old Tony to learn a new trick or two.
