    Even though the game is more than three months old it still manages to retain a special part on my shelf, the part that never gathers dust. As it stands right now, we have an early contender for my vote of Game of the Year.

    It's the same brilliant game all over again with some new bits. Buy it and be happy.
  3. If you purposely waited those extra months in hope that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the Xbox would be the definitive version, you made the right choice.
  4. A really fun little piece of skater action, and has a much more forgiving learning curve than a lot of Action/Adventure titles that have been coming out recently.

    Greatest game ever... I have roughly two faults in the design of this game and the rest is unbelievably perfect. With the ability to create parks the fun never ends. Expand

    The perfect skating simulation: simple, expansive, deep, and exaggerated, what all skating games should be.

    I'd rate this as one of the best games ever. Being a port doesn't make it any less awesome. I'd take this over Tony Hawk Underground without hesitation. Expand

    Yes game were fun at first but the people laugh at me when I crash make me crazy I want them stop laugh. I find secret tape but no secret on it and when I grind on the rail I fall off. Game should be made less easy for people like me. Expand
