    I love skateboarding, and every Tony Hawk game. So they'd have to really mess up for me to dislike the game. That said, the Wii controls are fun to use and don't feel awkward at all. After a couple days playing, it feels completely normal, natural, even better at times, than the traditional controller. This version to Tony Hawk seems more difficult than the others, however. This is not a bad thing. It means more replay value. Since Project 8 didn't come out for the Wii, this is the premier skateboarding game right nowfor the Wii. It's not groundbreaking, but very solid. Tony Hawk fans and skate fans like me will have lots of fun with the game. Even though it would have been way better with online features!… Expand

    With VERY low expectations from this game, once the controls were learned, yeah it takes some time to learn, but the fun factor takes you back to the days of THPS2! You will have fun, so deal with it!

    Both of my predecessors are being far too kind. The game is fun, could have been great, however, controls are complete crap. Seriously, at first I thought it was a learning curve type of thing, and then realized that they are just horrible. On top of button layout being horrible, you can't change it to remap controls, so yea, losing effort. I'm selling mine right away so I'll at least get something for it.… Expand

    Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground does a great job of bringing the Proving Ground experience to the Wii and PS2. The game is a port of the next-generation versions and includes many of the same environments, goals, characters, etc.

    Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for the Wii is a good game with classic gameplay and creative controls. The graphics fall short and there is no online component, but it is a very entertaining title on the whole.
