The way skateboarding games were meant to be. I loved it but I just hope this time is back to revolving around skating than stupid storylines that bring the game out of skateboarding.

I played this demo, and as the biggest Hawk fan EVER, was frankly rather dissapointed. I'll play it again to explore the map and take it all in, but as of now I'm grossly upset about it. They've screwed up two large aspects - balancing, and grinding. The balance metre takes up the entire screen, and pressing Y mid-jump will see your skater lurch to the nearest grindable object. It's just not as fluid as previous games have been.

Edit: I also have an issue with the camera... Instead of it being centralised like in previous iterations, the camera is off to one side. It switches pretty spontaneously, too. Also, the number of JAGGIES in this game is ludicrous...

Still, I'll buy it on launch day regardless. For my collection. Haha.

Meh, just downloaded it. Never been a big fan of Tony Hawk, but the camera absolutely kills it in this one.
