    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.

    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

    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—at least on the PS2/Xbox—is such a heaping helping of the runs that I'm amazed that I actually could bear the first two levels—and that I'm giving this game a 3/10 instead of a 0/10 or a 1/10. Every feature that has made the series fun since THPS2 is gone. Want to make a park? Sorry. How ’bout a trick? Hit the road, Jack. Sure, you can still create a skater, but why bother? The customization options are so limited I'd rather watch paint dry than play this game while doing some really good drugs. And how about Classic Mode? It's in there, but it's so hidden in Story Mode that you're better off not even trying to play it. And don't even get me started on how crappy the goals are.… Expand
