 Get it for the 360 January 2, 2007
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love playstation 3 but i have noticed that they have slipped with their titles. This is sony's fault but i think that there was too much of a rush to get this out and with that it suffers. First it is very choppy, it isn't that bad if you don't have anything to compare it too (xbox 360). They don't seems to have the physics down with this considering there are some goals that you can't complete but can with the 360 version such as gaining momentum to complete a grind gap (Stats were at full max on ps3 and couldn't finish goal, 360 stats were only 1/2 max and completed no problem. 360 has the music player which you can lay your own track of music over this which isn't a game problem but i enjoy more of my own music then what they have so you won't get that for the playstation 3. Overall its a good game but for this format it felt really rushed and it shows. If you have the chance to thourghly test out both you will see what i mean. It does use the controller very well and is very easy to perform tricks. The six axis feature is nice but very difficult to use so after a couple of minutes i turned it off. This game was okay but only deserves two stars because it was not finished in my opinion.
 Not good on PS3 December 28, 2006

This game doesn't look like it was designed for the PS3(more like n64), the graphics are terrible compared to other PS3 titles. The game is ok, just like other Tony Hawk skateboarding games, but they should have spent a lot more time on the PS3 version adding graphics. Also creating a player is a form of torture. Everyone want a skater to look like them or maybe look like someone else, the looks are so limited and more of an advertisement for a few skate and clothing companies than anything else. Don't pay full price for this one, better to play the older versions of the game. I am starting to wonder when video games will be free from sponsors instead of paying $60 per game. Why doesn't some big company just put out a games and fill it with updating advertising content and sell if for half the crazy price of current games. Just wondering...

The way I see the Tony Hawk series is like this: from THPS to THUG 2, Neversoft was running a marathon, and they were doing really well, too. Then, in 2005, Neversoft tripped by making American Wasteland, which wasn't necessarily a bad game, it just wasn't nearly as good as the others. Now, the eighth installment in the series has come, and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed. At E3, they said that Tony Hawk's Project 8 would be returning to the roots of the Tony Hawk series, and I interpreted that to mean that it would be like a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. I bought the game and played it. The graphics weren't as good as I expected, but they didn't suck. Overall, Neversoft could have done a bit more polish on this game, and it's definitely not worth $600, but it's a solid entry in the series, and anybody who has been a TH fan since the beginning should give it a whirl.
 What you skate! & You don't already own this.... December 9, 2006

Ok, first off I have TH3, TH:Underground, TH:AWL all for the PS2. I was impressed by American Waste Lands amount of content and levels. Project 8 doesn't have as much content (No level building or real character creation), but what it serves out it well worth it. They revamped the system and that takes developement time. The open-end game play on the PS3 is sweet. I played the game on the PS2, but was not impressed and didn't think I'd get it due to the lack of content. I purchased a PS3 and was limited to option so I purchased Project 8 and to be able to skate from the residential district to the skatepark to the school and then to the city busting out tricks all along the way is sweet and provides a new experience to Skateboarding on consoles. You can just go on forever. After this I can't wait to see what comes next. If for the Xbox360 or the PS3 the game is well worth it.
