Article Comments for by Chris Roper Summary: When the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater hit the PlayStation back in 1999, it redefined what an extreme sports game could be.

A year later, Neversoft followed up the game with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, the nearly-perfect sequel that took everything to the next level and set the bar high enough that competing franchises quickly died off attempt after attempt. I am glad that TH is finally being reviewed for what it is these days. It seems that prior to Skate TH was getting good reviews solely on the fact that nobody else knew what a good skating game was like. It's like having only ever eaten Easy Mac and then one day you get your first mouthful of a top notch sirloin. It's then that you finally start to compare what you've been partaking in against what else is out there. That said, this game is a mediocre, and it deserves every bit of it for what it has consistenly done to stereotype skateboarding culture. Body checking pedestrians?

That's as much about skating as knitting. These games are no longer fun, nor can they be considered sequels. I believe that's why they have stopped adding numbers, atop of the fact that they have numbered in the double digits.

People will choose their sides between the realist style shown in Skate, and the unrealistic, Tony Hawk, but until there is a medium between too real, and too phoney, not everyone will be happy. This game has followed the same formula, dressed up with new features like video making, for quite some time. Tony Hawk's Underground was a great new game. However, bare boned it was the same formula, and then exploited for it's popularity. A microcasm for the entire series.

Exploited and reused because of the fact that people rebuy it every time. Yes we wanna pull off 900s, but grinding roller coaster tracks has gotten really old. @Ruinerxxxsincity: ' the controls are way too hit or miss' huh?! Are you talking about Skate?

The controls are among the most inovative, intuitive, and responsive i have experienced since i started gaming. It takes practice, practice, practice.

That's probably what you don't like about it, you couldnt pick it up and get a 1,000,000 point combo. Thats alright though, skate was made for people who can appreciate the talent and forsight it takes to put together a beautiful, technical, flowing line. TH's entire franchise is made for people who have no interest in the details of skating and just want to say 'zomg!!

I just did a kickflip-1080-kickflip-kickflip-kickflip-heelflip-540 airwalk-900 roll, and got 5 billion points!!!!' The point is, EVERYONE doesn't need to be happy with one game, there is room for both franchises to be successful. Its completely apples and oranges/ arcade and rpg, you just can't compare the two so simply.

Its the same with all the yearly sports games that come out. Its usually about 70% the same game that came out last year with new names and numbers, but with the sports games you KNOW youre paying for those numbers and names, and most people are ok with that.

This is an exciting time to get into the whole skating game genre. I read up on Skate while waiting for THPG, and I got that last week too. I can see that Tony Hawk's a bit over the top, but Skate still has some issues to work out (e. 4 Player Scrabble Score Sheet Pdf there. g.
