Tony hawks proving ground is one in a long line of Tony Hawk video games. Tony Hawk video games have been very popular throughout and Proving Ground is no different. Proving round is avalibleon many platforms from console gaming to portable gaming. The proving Ground I have is for the nintendo ds. At the time I bought it for about £8 from argos which at the time I remeber thinking that for a brand new ds £8 is a very good price. A bargain in other words and I wasn't disappounted. For £8 you expect the game to be alright but this went above my expectations.

Game modes

Story mode

This is where you skate through different cities completing challenges and trying to unlock rewards along the way. In this mode there different paths that you can go along such as hardcore skater or pro skater. Each path comes its own different lifestlye, unique challenges, risks and rewards. The cities include DC, philly and baltimore. Each city is brilliantly portayed and the graphics for each are really impressive. Especially for the fact that it is on the ds. Which isn't the greatest graphic wise. But Proving ground has really good graphics. This a really fun mode and probably the best mode to play as its the most challenging and fun.

Classic

This is a pretty basic but popular mode. In the past Tony Hawk games have had modes where you pick and play. Classic mode is just like this. This mode is where you try and beat your high scores and complete other challenges in each level. In this mode you get the classic tony hawk experience and is also a very fun mode.

Free skate.

This where there are no challenges to complete. Just where you skate around the cities perfecting your skills and tricks. Also useful to learn the enviroment you are skating in. You can also find new combo lines.

Lessons

Also for the beginner there are lessons for you to take part where you learn the basic tricks and what the buttons do.

Basic controls

Crouching- press and hold the B button.

Ollie- press and release the B button

Grab tricks- Must be in the air, press A button plus a direction on the control pad up up, down, left, right.

Overall

Really great skating game. Tony hawk has made the way to ds very well and it fells that you are not missing out on any of the tony hawk experience.
Great enviroments to skate also make the game even more enjoyable
