    Tony Hawk's Project 8 needed to be absolutely mind-blowing for me to catch skate fever once again, and sadly, it just isn’t that spectacular... yet.

    There's a lot of level grinding to get stats up, and while Neversoft has implemented challenges for all sorts of skill types, it's an experience that might prove too tedious for some. Also, the ergonomics of the 360 D-pad really work against this title.

    The streaming content is impressive, but no matter where you go, the rickety framerate comes with you. Still, this is a great big game that lands more tricks than it misses, and is worth a spin on your Xbox 360.

    There are more trick-based challenges than ever, but aside from the new slow-motion control, Tony Hawk is skating through the same old territory.

    Casual players may find the game entirely too complicated. It’s not an easy game to pick up if you haven’t been playing the series since day one.

    This is a challenging game to say the least, but it's the lack of a decent learning curve that really hurts it.

    Newbies will feel constantly overwhelmed and will dismiss this game in a heartbeat due to its high learning curve.

    The gameplay is fine, but it lacks personality. Its very, very bland and undistinctive

    While the story mode is just okay, this game thrives when you're playing with friends.
