    If you must play the game on the old PS2 you'll still have a good time; albeit a lonely time. Just don't play it on the 360 or PS3 or you might never be satisfied with your classic system again. Tony has definitely made the jump to next-gen and you might want to do the same.

    All in all, the work and innovation that was put in to this game really shows.

    Visually, it's considerably worse [than the PS3 version], but quite decent for PS2 and retains the core gameplay. [Jan 2007, p.63]

    The PS2 version of Project 8 is a joke. Online was removed -- let me say that again: online is missing.

    This is a very good game. I have THUG and THUG2 and this game is a mile better. The graphics are good, the maps are cool and I like how it is just 1 big city. The Nail the trick feature is awesome! Sure, the customize character feature is very limited, but apart from that, this game is really good. Be it looking for gaps, completing goals or just skating around, you will get hours of entertainment from this game.… Expand

    I finally got around to checking this out after I found it used for $10. Personally, I think this game got robbed by the critics. While the other TH games are more about huge combos and points, this one is all about style. The levels are more organic-feeling than previous titles, and it allows you to really express yourself, and develop relationships with certain spots (like skating in real life). If you're looking for another THUG or THAW, this ain't it. But if you want something that feels more realistic, this is definitely your game.… Expand

    This game isn't bad. It isn't groundbreaking either. The beloved series has been torn apart without Create-A-Park and the addiction factor is pretty low. When I first played this game, I thought it was going to be like its predecessors. But when I saw "Shaba!" I knew something wasn't going to be right. I played it for a while and enjoyed it, but it started to become boring and repetitive. The gameplay itself is really good and the graphics are decent, though. If you like Tony Hawk games, I recommend this to you. But, as a stand-alone game, there's a lot lacking.… Expand

    If I had to choose between THUG and THP8, I'd choose THUG without a doubt: Even though THUG was a stale experience, THP8
