Tony Hawk Overview

Written by: Nerdtron

This editorial is about what I think of the "Tony Hawk Pro Skater" series. It's just like a big review for all the games.

..::Availiable On::..
-PC
-GBC
-GBA
-Xbox
-PSone
-GameCube
-Playstation 2

..::About::..
This series of game is one of the top games around. Pull off sick tricks using many of the most famous pros; such as Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Kareem Campbell and many more. A must for any skateboarding fans.

..::Graphics::..
The games have pretty good graphics. There are a few little problems, but they're tiny. Like the characters are a little "square." By "square" I mean like they're arms, legs etc just look like a bunch of shapes pput together. But only a bit. The graphics are actually quite good. Unless you were trying to see every bit of detail in the game you probably won't notice that much.

..::Gameplay::..
These games will provide hours of fun for anyone, at any age. The tasks are challenging but once you get the hang of the game it will only take you a few goes to complete them. You will spend weeks of very hard playing to complete this game, and then maybe you won't. This is one of the best skateboarding games around.
Even though you can complete most tasks it is very hard to complete the levels. This is because on every level you have to collect all the cash and finish all tasks to 100% the level. Collecting all the cash is a very hard task. Because most of the cash is in hard to reach places. This is another aspect of why the Tony Hawk games will keep you playing for ages.

..::Sound::..
Very cool music in the background, loads of rap songs etc.

..::Secrets::..
You can unlock many different characters buy completing very hard tasks or just cheating. You can unlock characters like Spiderman, Private Carrea, Darth Vader, Wolverine and many more.
You can also (if you do cheats) morph the characters/levels. Like give the characters a big head or see the level in slow motion or wire frame.
A very good set of games if you like unlocking characters and doing cool things.

..::My Fave Thing::..
I really like in THPS2 how you can do this really cool cheat which allows you to fly on your skateboard. I did this cheat once during a competition and I got over one billion points. But it can be annoying becuase when you ollie you start to fly and fly all the time gets a little annoying.

..::Verdict::..
Get one of these games now, they are very good. I love them. But don't get THPS3 and 4 on PSone. They are really bad. They just seem more jerky and it seems harder to do tricks.
