    The gaming landscape has changed a lot since the series heyday, but this title is stuck in a no-man's-land between not being good enough to replicate the past nor ambitious enough to move the franchise forward.

    From time to time the glory of old times shines through and you start having fun. That is, before you are brought down again by the uninspired level design, the outdated visuals and the redundant missions.

    If I hadn't seen it coming I would be really annoyed now. You don't treat a 15 year old heritage like that, careless and without love. Romomodo & Activision: Please don't make Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 6.

    Most egregiously, this game costs $60. That’s about $50 too much. A better choice? Go crank Goldfinger’s “Superman,” fire up your old PlayStation or Dreamcast, dig up a copy of the original game, and relive the glory days the right way.

    Die-hard fans yearning for some Pro Skater action will find that, despite all of its problems, there's still some enjoyment to be had here – even if it should have been so much more.

How any company would dare to ask $60 for a game with minimal content and a multitude of technical bugs, I cannot fathom. The only reason they cancelled this game for PC is because of the newly introduced 'refund' option on Steam. No one would have willingly kept this horrible excuse for a Tony Hawk game on his HDD if a refund was still possible.

    Now let me briefly go into the gameplay and presentation: As ugly as the game is, it still suffers from major framerate drops. The "seamless" online interaction is buggy and even the music suffers from hiccups. All the stages are uninspired and could literally be made in the Create-A-Park mode by anyone with 15 minutes to spare. The controls are just slightly less clunky than in Tony Hawk HD but you will probably be to annoyed with technical problems to even notice.

    This game is a disgrace to the Tony Hawk franchise and you should avoid it at ALL COSTS.    … Full Review »

This game deserves a 0 straight up. Congratulations to Activision for taking the label of the greediest video game company in existence! This practice of rushing out an unplayable buggy game ONLY for profit is some criminal BULLS**T! In my absolute honest opinion if a game doesn't have review copies sent out at all... give it a 0! Of course they knew the reviews would hurt their sales but they don't care if they scam even their best fans! This is an incredible slap to the face of all the passionate great fans of this series. I feel bad for all the people that actually did work hard on this game and for that they themselves deserve a 10. Activision get back to making good games because gamers WILL stop giving into your stupid business scams. I'll have the popcorn ready when you fail, it'll be a glorious day for every gamer on this planet.… Full Review »

    This game is absolutely boring... the amount of content here is a joke, you'll be done with this within a few hours. The pixel shaded graphicsThis game is absolutely boring... the amount of content here is a joke, you'll be done with this within a few hours. The pixel shaded graphics are a stupid idea for a sports game and to make things worse... there's a whole load of bugs and glitches (some of which are pretty funny). And there's no local multiplayer! why isn't there local multiplayer? Was it too hard to include a basic turn by turn score based multiplayer in a game that has so little in it. This game however isn't broken... Skating physics and animations are the best yet but what puts me off is the amount of content, or the lack thereof. This is worth 20$ not 60$, the fact that the corporate sh!theads expect us to pay full price for an incomplete pacakge makes me give this game a 0/10... ( a little harsh but i had to bring the user score down, in theory it would be a 1 or 2)… Full Review »
