Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

"The best skateboarding game ever. No contest!"

Gameplay - 10/10 - The gameplay is amazing. It's fun, and it's not an all nighter. It may take you a whole long weekend to beat. The skating environment is amazing. It's a game where you may need to know a little bit about skateboarding to do good. It's also a lot of fun to play with friends.
Origionality - 10/10 - This game is one of a kind. It's not your basic Skate or Die from the NES days. This game has depth. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater will set the standards for the future.
Control - 10/10 - The control is great. It's really easy to control your character. Turning can be adjusted so you can set it to your style of playing. It's easy to hit tricks and combos. Even a 5-year-old to get a 5,000 point move.
Audio - 10/10 - The sound is one of my favorite parts of the game. You can here your skateboard as your riding along, and the music is great too. It goes from heavy metal type music to music that sounds like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. No rap though.
Graphics - 9/10 - Graphics are good. Characters dont look super amazing, but the levels are so realistic and your characters moves look so real it makes up for it.
Replay Value - 10/10 - Replay value is great, especially because of all the different characters in career mode. Once you beat it with one guy theres about 7 more to beat it with. There's also a ton of things to unlock. The game never stops amazing you. When you think you did just about everything, something new to do pops up.
To buy or to rent? - Buy!! It's worth your 50 bucks trust me get it now!
