Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (Playstation 3, 2007)

Gameplay: 9.0
As always the controls for this game are perfect and make pulling off high scoring combos really easy. There are so many things that will keep players occupied for an extremely long time, especially when they are trying to make sure their player’s lounge is the best around.

Graphics: 8.7
Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground has a really nice look to it. The three locations where you will be skating look completely different from one another, which is good since they do in real life as well. All of the characters are have very high detail to them, even the pedestrians. The bottom line is that this is one of the best-looking Tony Hawk games that I have played.

Sound: 8.7
The Tony Hawk series has always been great at is the sound department. The developers always have the latest music, realistic sound effects, and good voiceovers and this game is no exception.

Difficulty: Medium
If you have ever played any game in this series you will feel right at home with the controls. From the minute I first booted up the game I was doing huge combos. The game really gets only as hard as you want to make it, trying to get the “sick” score out of each goal will be hard, yet just getting the normal one is easy.

Concept: 8.9
All of the new additions to this game make it a really great buy and even more fun. I really enjoyed having the ability to truly “define” how I wanted my skater to be. The Video Editing will be worth the game’s weight in gold since for those who enjoy that type of thing. Plus, if you look around hard enough you can find arcade machines that have various mini games, including the ability to play “classic Tony Hawk mode.”

Multiplayer: 8.9
Having the ability to seamlessly jump from a single player to an online multiplayer mode with up to eight players is wonderful. I also liked how whatever stat increases you make in single or multiplayer will carry on with your skater. Playing online is always very smooth and lag free, which makes playing it really great.

Overall: 8.8
Even though this year Tony Hawk series had some stiff competition from another skateboarding game, I think that it has edged out ahead and proves that this game is king of the skateboarding games, for at least one more year. There are a lot of things that will keep you occupied for months on end, without even going that in-depth with the “career” mode. If you are a fan of this series then picking up this game is a no-brainer.

Graphics- While the character models look good, there are too many times they look rather ridiculous.

Control- Staunch and a bit difficult to newcomers. However, there is a traditional sense to the game that will keep returning fans happy with familiarity.

Music / Sound FX / Voice Acting- Solid soundtrack helps the game along, it is great to see the various rock rifts throughout the game.

Play Value- A return to basics is great for those that do not like change. It is the same as always and will keep you playing for quite some time.

Overall- Its just an average skateboarding game, and everything that this game has, SKATE has it as well and better.

great product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fast shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thenx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)))))))))))))))

i like how the shipment was pretty quick and the game is perfect. thanks for the smooth sale, will definitely do business with again.

Good salesman, excellent product, I wait to make other negotiations with this salesman therefore its articles are of the best ones. Without a doubt one of the best ones…

I like it because it was shipped in a timely manner as decribed and my son wanted this game for christmas.

thanks

More variety, more customization, and better multiplayer make this the best portable Tony Hawk game yet.

This game is like the old version for ps2 .... very similar controls and tricks ... but, for the lovers of this series it´s very nice .... who like just play and enjoy hours of ease and pure interteiment will like this title ...

I thought the best part about this game was the story mode that takes old guys like me through the basics, without making you feel like a beginner. I got this for my son, and he can do some skateboarding in real life. Now we can play together at something, and maybe I might understand what "grinding", "ollies", and "kick flips" really are!

everything was absolutely great, the game was brand new and at a great price. I received it well before stated. sorry for the late review.

I never viewed Tony Hawk as a male chauvinist, but without the ability to create a female skater in Proving Grounds, my opinion of the infamous wood pusher has changed drastically. The gameplay is typical of the series, right from the start my character could perform tricks that not even Rodney Mullen could pull off. There is also a new way to do tricks with "bullet-time" like every other console action game is adopting these days. There is an option to turn on "simulation mode" which I was excited to test after seeing. The description says it alters the physics to make it more realistic. The only thing this does is lower your character's overall movement speed which prompted me to quit playing. Nothing original or exciting in this game.

The bottom line, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is great for wannabe stick flippers with no concept of realism who laugh at the notion of female skaters owning them. Tony Hawk owes a huge apology for this abomination!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Good!!!! Otimo vendedor o Game chegou rapido e sem nenhum problema.
Ja testei e recomendo o vendedor..
Obrigado.

I love this game. It has so many features to
make your own player.
The game is really fun and has GREAT graphics.
Recommend for PS3 owners to get one.

Had this game on DS for my son. It was a good game. So I decided get it on my PS3. Cool pictures and had lots of fun.

I've been a fand of Tony Hawks games since they came out on Playstation (One) and this one keeps the series alive. I haven't played the last couple Tony Hawk games that have come out, so this one had a couple new features for me. I LOVE THE NATAS SPIN! That's an amazing added trick that you can do. Plus, Nail the Trick and Nail the Grab mode make it really easy to string a few tricks together and it looks sick while you do it.
A great addition to the series.

I have always liked the tony hawk series of games, But this is by far the best game in the series. I would recomend this game to anybody on either the PS3 Or 360. If you like this kind of game i would buy it

This game is great. somewhat challenging. is fun to kill timne for an hour or all day. the competitions are difficult to obtain the sick score. there is a new "nail the trick mode" in which you can control both of your feet with each stick on the controler. you can hit kickflips, spins, grabs and manuals while in this mode. It slows down time and puts you into "focus mode" which enables you to hit multiple flips, grabs, etc.

Brand new couldn't ask for anything more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great purchase for all members of your family. It will provide hours of family entertainment. Run out and pick up a copy of this item and treat yourself to a good time.

I have really enjoyed this game. I got it for a wonderful price but i payed for delivery by a certain day and did not receive it by then so he didn't get it until 2 days after Christmas. It is one of the few games that i actually enjoy watching. It is action packed and even if you dont want to do any of the challenges you can have fun just riding around and doing tricks on whatever you can find. it is a fun game and i have really enjoyed it.

Very similar to all the other Tony Hawk games. I would recommend it it you haven't played any other the other ones, but if you have played some of the other ones already, then don't bother.

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (Playstation 3) The game plays excellent and the movement is terffic. It gets an A+++++++
