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…

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.

…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. There are some codes out there, but they only work on other systems. To me, it takes a lot of the fun out of the game not to be able to grind or manual indefinitely. 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. There are even some challenges where you must bail and knock over bowling pins or such.

I prefer this game over any Tony Hawk! The graphics are great and it is the most realistic of the games produced!
