Tony Hawk is back

Advantages: great graphics, great game, real tony hawk experience
Disadvantages: none

...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...

Review of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (Nintendo DS)

Tony Hawk is back with another excellent game!

Advantages: No loading screens, lots of unlockables and excellent gameplay
Disadvantages: BMX feature was laking, there's rap music on it!

...Game title: Tony Hawks American Wasteland Format: PS2 Genre: Extreme sports/skateboarding Certificate: 16+ Contains: Mild violence, mild language and a bit of blood Developed by: Neversoft Published by: Activision Players: 1 or 2 players Memory card usage: 134KB minimum Other information: Network adaptor (Ethernet) compatible 2 - 8 players, Enhanced with Eye Toy USB camera Well Tony Hawks American Wasteland which I will be calling THAW from now on is the 7th game in the series. It all started way back on the PS1 with the first in the series Tony Hawks Pro Skater. Tony Hawk was just making it big or (bigger if you like) on the skating scene by landing the first 900 degree spin air trick. This spun off the contract to make a game with his name on it. I came across this game from a friend when I first started skating...

Tony Hawks - Prowriter

Advantages: Well written, comical and informative
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit formulaic

...The title of this review is taken from Tony Hawks's website. Apparently some people mistook the author for Tony Hawkes, the skateboarder, asking him questions like what is your favourite move, how many boards do you own, etc.. You can read the replies on his highly amusing website. Someone has even done a mock up of the skateboarding computer game - Tony Hawkes Prowriter 2. Anyway, back to the review. Tony Hawkes gets involved in a foolish, drunken bet, which involves lots of travel, and is full of insights into foreign culture. He nearly comes a cropper, meets lots of eccentric characters and leaves us in suspense as to whether he succeeds until the final chapter. (Sounds familiar? - same plot as Round Ireland With A Fridge and One Hit Wonderland). Then again - if it aint broke, why fix it? In this case, Tony has to beat...

Review of Playing the Moldovans at Tennis - Tony Hawks

TONY HAWK MARK TWO

Advantages: Good gameplay, decent graphics, real tricks and people lasts a long time
Disadvantages: None really

...With the huge worldwide crazy for extreme sports and popularity of skateboarding that suddenly grew up it seemed to be a good idea to make a computer game of this. And they made a pretty damn good one at that, and put the name of one of the greats in the title. Tony Hawk 2 is the follow up game to the very successful original, and is bigger and better in every way. There are two main styles of play on Tony Hawk 2, career mode and single skate. The way the game works is very simple in principal. You control the skater and have the ability to pull off as many tricks as you can. For every trick you get points, the longer you do the trick and the more complex the more points you get. Effectively points mean prizes with a high score table to show off your triumphs. Free skate allows you to play any level available for a two-minute time...

Review of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (PC)

Rise from the Underground-A good Tony Hawk game!

Advantages: Impressive free-roaming abilities, sweet soundtrack list
Disadvantages: Sorta bad graphics

...The sports genre of games has been around for a long times, yet the skate game is a fairly new addition to the sports family. Tony Hawk has released yet another addition to his skate family of games *this being the fifth*. However, instead of just rehashing the same gameplay styles from previous title and a graphics over haul, THUG offers new styles and trick sets, more realism and an expanded Create-A-Character mode. There are plenty of new characters to unlock, boards to create and levels to complete to keep fans and new comers happy for a long time. However, not all is perfect in THUG. However, with a new game comes big changes and the biggest one of all is perhaps the most fun: The inclusion of a coherent story. I've played several sports games, mostly snowboarding and skateboarding games and none of them have a coherent story...

Review of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (Xbox 360)

TONY HAWK UNDERGROUND!!

Advantages: great story, aility to walk and run, skate through cities
Disadvantages: lacking in graphical detail

...After Tony Hawk's proskater, fellow fans wanted something new. T.H.U.G gave us this by turning the franchise into an RPG which provided a whole new level of play simply by giving the ability to leave the board and explore on foot. even climb buildings and drop into half pipes and bowls from a roof of almost any building! The great thing about this game is you dont have play as any of the proskaters like in past games. The story mode offers the chance to experience this extreme sport through the use of your own virtual avatar. The option to edit the appearance of your avatar and the skateboard itself adds to the constant changing tone of the game. rather than aimlessly grinding up an abandond parking lot or shopping mall, your given the option to explore buisy city streets and in some cases even the rooftops. Unlike the previous...

Review of Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (Xbox)

Tony hawks underground

Advantages: New Tony Hawks game out dropping THUG in price
Disadvantages: Can become anoying at time due to lack of level desciption.

...Tony hawks underground is a great skating game and tops all previous tony hawk games. there are several new fetures like being able to get of the board and walk, several new tricks, create the player to look like you and your own board desighn. One of the best parts to this game is that you can explore whever you want without a time limit on all of the levels just free skating until you want to do a mission to get to the next part of the map. I love the fact you can run around in this game, and drive other vehicles like cars and other veichles including a grass cutter! Also you can pull of some really insane stunts of the tops of hotels to pools way below. Another feature you can pick your sponsors,when you get far enough, which means that you can get custom sponser shirts and boards plus there?s loads of pro skaters...
