Looks good
Nail a Trick mode is a cool addition to the series
No loading times
Is pretty forgiving to newcomer
Can get a bit boring after a while
Character models look weird
Erratic Frame-rate
Even if you aren’t into skateboarding, one name that’s become a force to recon with today is Tony Hawk AKA Anthony Frank Hawk. The Birdman as he’s so fondly called has grown from a small town skater to a modern day icon of sorts who’s involved in tons of profitable activities like television, clothing and our personal favorite, video games. Now the reason I bored you with this small history lesson is because I’ve never played a Tony Hawk game in the past so I couldn’t really think of a suitable introduction to Tony Hawk’s latest next gen outing titled Project 8 (honesty is still the best policy right?)


Like any other sports game, Project 8 can appear a bit daunting initially, but soon you’ll realize that the game is pretty forgiving to newcomers and a little patience can go a long way. Stick with the tutorial for a while and you’ll be pulling off killer tricks and combos in no time… or at least you’ll know how to do so. Once you’ve completed the tutorial (you don’t have to complete it to progress but I wouldn’t recommend doing that) your customized character is unleashed upon the world to impress Tony Hawk. Why you ask? It’s pretty simple you see… the Birdman himself has retired and is in your hometown looking for 8 of the sickest skaters (and by sick I mean awesome, not skaters suffering from some sort of illness) out there and only by competing against nearly 200 other skaters can you be part of his latest project… Project 8 (just so you know this is developer Neversoft’s 8th Tony Hawk game). As far as a plot goes that’s all you’ll get but then again you aren’t playing a Tony Hawk game for an intricate storyline, right?
