To me, it takes a lot of the fun out of the game not to be able to grind or manual indefinitely. There are some codes out there, but they only work on other systems. There are even some challenges where you must bail and knock over bowling pins or such. .basically the same style of game as other Tony Hawk games (and I've owned three other ones on Xbox). You can't use the cheat codes on PS3, though. No bails was a good cheat, too.One new fun aspect to this game, though, is the ability to intentionally bail and bounce around racking up significant hospital bills.
First of all, you can't disable auto-kick, which is a huge let down for anyone who actually skates. I ended up choosing Project 8, because of the price and people didn't seem to like Proving Ground. Second, they removed some of the most iconic skaters from the game, THPS without Reynolds, gimme a break. I however, stopped keeping up after THUG came out. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone who skates, or is over the age of 12. I was horribly disappointed with this game.
Third, the game is rated T for teen, but game play seems to have been created with children in mind. I have been playing the Tony Hawk games since the first one on Playstation. Recently I purchased a PS3, and wanted a newer THPS game. Also, the semi-realistic scaling achieved in THUG, has seem to disappear completely.
I prefer this game over any Tony Hawk. The graphics are great and it is the most realistic of the games produced.
I was hoping I could do some multiplayer trick attacks online or something, but the option isn't there.Bottom line: for $15 or less you have no excuse not to get this one if you like the Tony Hawk games. No it won't be as legendary as the original THPS, but that's because this isn't the first of its kind. I don't really understand some of the negative reviews I have seen this game receive on here as well as other sites. I was very pleased with how big the world is that you skate in, and the career mode is great too. If you can get over the nostalgia of wanting the original for no real reason, then you'll find this game is very fun.The only complaint I have is that there is no online gameplay.
The goals are challenging but doable. The "Nail a Trick" aspect is awesome and the different areas of the game have incredible detail. Classic THPS gameplay that doesnt disappoint. This is a great game and you can get it for an unbeatable price on Amazon. I have been addicted to it for a few weeks now and cant stop. The graphics of the characters in the goal minivideos could be better but thats not why im playing the game and you shouldn't be playing for that either.
