    This eighth instalment in the hugely popular skateboarding series, and the first built specially for the Xbox 360, is the best and most realistic by far.

    The presentation is stellar, the focus on gameplay is appreciated, and the new gameplay features like the "nail the trick" mode make this easily the best Tony Hawk game to date.

    Tony Hawk's Project 8 needed to be absolutely mind-blowing for me to catch skate fever once again, and sadly, it just isn't that spectacular... yet.

    The only improvements are with the graphics and the Nail-the-Trick feature. The controls were always right and a skateboarding game can only do so many things as far as storyline goes but in the areas it could improve it did. The only reason I've downgraded this to a 9 is that I feel like we've taken a few steps backwards as far as the create-a-skater/create-a-skatepark goes. Otherwise spot-on people, spot-on.… Expand

    Damn. I'm not new to the series, I played and loved almost every Tony Hawk game. I expected great thinks from this next gen version. Woah. Big spaces, a frigging load of things to do, pretty textures and models! But. Still, I can't accept such a horrible framerate. It's like playing on a pc game when you don't meet the reccomended requirements, and you can't lower the detail. It's not unusual to screw up missions for a sudden frame rate drop, and it's known how much precision is required for the harder tasks of these games. Putting tasks to do everywhere is a nice thing, but the way it has been done results often confusing, making you wonder where do you have to go to complete them, as a consequence of poor level design. But still, what really pisses me off are these awful framerate issues. They are a constant through the game. And I can't accept them on a console, and even less on a 360, which proved to be able to handle much more than that. It's just BAD programming. What is really painful is that it killed a pretty good game, potentially the best of the series. I hope next episode will be better, maybe the new development kits produced by microsoft will help even the most inable programmer.… Expand

    This is an OK game, but it should seriously be rated M. i mean, there is a lot of blood, and there's white paste that comes out of your body. that is blood AND gore! its just plain old disgusting. skate says it has blood and gore, but there's hardly any. this is just how i see the game.… Expand
