Tony Hawked for good.

Can anyone say that this is the funeral to Tony Hawk?  Can't Tony Hawk just say it?  Not because this is a disgrace to the franchise but because these games are better then ever.  I've recently got depressed over the thought of my gaming abilities decreasing due to my age.  I feel like teenagers are just randomly spastic and hyper and just are murder machines.  Now that I have escaped murdering people, I am a passive pacifist that is relatively lazy.  But I grew up on this shit.  I love skateboarding.  This is the reason I got a Sony Playstation for Christmas.  To play Tony Hawk.

I play a lot of skate.  Even still, I've been watching my stunning abilities at Skate 2.  But Tony Hawk is the exact opposite of Skate.  Skate is for the sand box gamer who likes to flaunt their own horn.  Tony Hawk is for the strict fundamentalists.  You need to follow the rules to win and there is plenty of things to get around.  What I thought were bugs the whole game are actual game play mechanics that I am later using to hack Tony Hawk's reality (which is completely different then ours) and try to attempt a sick score on Down Hill Jam.  Fuck That Map.

My two big upsets with this remix or bring back or recollection.  Whatever the term is, where is the horse?  I need to one up people on online.  Also I want contests to be back.  I want to be able to play contests online.  And no make a park.  Internet on consoles have become fluent.  They really missed the mark on playability on this game.  The online playlists that we can play are score which I know I will get dominated at.  I haven't methodologically played a Tony Hawk game in probably 7 years. 

I was so surprised how fast I picked up the controls.  At first I was trying Skate Controls and then after that I started button mashing and eating shit every jump.  Once you realize that the board is never supposed to actually touch the ground you start scanning the map, thus analyzing it, and combos start to become fluent.  Next up is enlisting a routine.  And also I loved the nostalgia feel.  This game came out what, twelve years ago, and I still know that the map has Carlsbad but how do I get to it!  The more and more you play a map the more you see all the hidden access points and how to get to them.

I was hoping more from this package even though it's an arcade game.  The graphics look really good.  I am no purist and I feel like they could of pulled back some objects and made spots a little easier to hit due to the fact that you don't actually control your speed besides your landing and crouching. You don't push so hitting an object is random.  I feel like if they gave this project to fans, they would of taken the maps and changed some strategies around.  Camera would be nice to edit footage and no skate films in the game.  If I get a secret dvd in the game, it should be something in the bonus menu.  I loved watching the accident videos from before.
