SynopsisSkating is a form of expression, so why settle for canned characters and run-of-the-mill surroundings that don't reflect your style?

If you're as good as you say you are, you can impress some of the most well-known athletes in the sport, including Ryan Sheckler, Arto Saari and even Tony Hawk himself. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground will have you rolling through spectacular, lifelike environments set in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Keep defining your character by adding new tricks to your repertoire. As you progress, the story unfolds according to the choices you make, the paths you select and the skater class you pursue.

What's great about it: GRAPHICS, MUSIC
What's not so great: SAME TRICKS
IT MIGHT BE THE SAME OLE SAME OLE .. BUT IM A TEEN AND I STILL ENJOY THESE GAMES. THESE GAMES ARE MADE TO KEEP THE TEENS INTERESTED AND IN MY OPINION IT HAS..ALTHOUGH THE TRICKS MAY BE THE SAME HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO CHANGE WHEN WE ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP IN MY KIDS WILL GO OUT AND IMITATE WHAT THEY SAW..I BELIEVE THIS GAME WAS BASICALLY TRYING TO KEEP SKATEBOARDING REALISTIC ENOUGH TO RESPECT THE SPORT. THE CHALLENGES ON THE GAME WHERE SOMEWHAT THE SAME BUT DIFFERENT AT THE SAME TIME AND BECAUSE OF THAT PEOPLE HAVE NO PROBLEM COMING BACK AND PLATING THIS GAME OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN...I SURE DONT
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: It's Tony Hawk
What's not so great: It's Tony Hawk...only revisited...
My son became bored TOO quickly with the game- it's basically just the same tricks only re-written into a new game. Not much new to experience- my advice? Wait until it's on clearance if you HAVE to have it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: tricks and positions
What's not so great: same old stuff, graphics
This is very dissapointing. I don't even know where to start. This and the last tony hawk game have been bad. In this game, you do the same things that you do in tony hawk pro skater 1-4. And the graphics are related to my old playstaion 1 as i can remember. The tricks are pretty good even though they are hard to land or start. For example you can do basics tricks but for exageration it seems like someone is waiting at an office randomly making you mess up on a trick. It is that hard to land a trick unless you are used to it. There are so many positions besides career mode that you can do, which is good. And that is pretty much it. I am sorry tony hawk fans, but a must not buy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: nail a trick and nail a grab are great slow-mo add ons
What's not so great: smoothness of movement
I picked this game up because i love every other game in the line even back to the very first one. This release is highly disappointing..the movement of the skater is way too jumpy, if you get too close to a wall it will either bounce you off in a total opposite direction or just stop you all together, the missions are too long winded to start and they generally make them overly confusing in explanations. I felt the levels were smaller in general and didn't react well to being skated. overall i feel the creaters tried too hard to add way too much and the basic attraction of the original games was lost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

this lets you create a cool character. With the created character you could prove to the skating world that you are the true phenom in the skate world.
