First.
Of course they're going to say it's good.

I'm glad they got the physics right on Nyjah's dreads.

Yeah cause someones hairdo is the most important aspect of skateboarding. As long as his luscious locks flapper right in the wind, we don't give a shit about the actual skateboard physics, right?

Calm down, he never said that. He's glad the they got it right, but he probably doesnt raise that as the most important aspect...
I'm glad that when you roll around and MGS3, the grass moves. Does that mean I think it's the most important aspect of the game? Chill out.

Time to tune up your sarcasm detector. It doesn't seem to be working.

Yeah my sarcasm detector broke, sorry about that. You'd be surprised though how some people are. I've heard someone say with a previous TH game "They'd better have my shoes in the game, otherwise I'm not buying it".

Yea I have to agree the sound on this video is shitty. I guess its all for the better I suppose. It's as if who ever made this video just wanted to not let up hear them raving about this and play the music.
If nothing else they should have provided better music. Alice in Chains can never hurt. Remember that

Wow... I thought my computer was glitching, what type of editor shows people talking but doesn't let us hear what they say?... not that I really want to, I just get a laugh out of seeing this stupid game.

I hope you don't need the balance real skateboarders have when you play these things...

Of course not, it's Tony Hawk, you have to have the balance of Superman to get anywhere close to the high scores.

I played it at Gamescom this weekend. It was quite nice actually but I`m pretty sure it`ll get old fast!
We`ll see but I`m definitely not spending 100Euros on that thing..
Cheers

How much did Activision pay them to say that that is good?

Who knows, perhaps it is a good game afterall? Majority of the older tony hawk games are all great games individually, the only reason why we're ripping on this is because we're tired of the hawk, and we're too cheap to buy another controller

So true, Hawks 1-3 blew my mind. I wish the series still had that kind of magic.

It isn't a sound problem.
They just censured out any negative comments. :P

Dear TH team,
I think I will pass, but I have to say I am sorry that me and the TH games had to have this break-up. It wasn't me, it was you. I would have been very content repurchasing an updated THPS2 with better graphics, if this meant, of course, that i could play graffiti mode online. But no, you had to offer me this and ask me to make a very big comitment to you. I am sorry because of your recent failures (anything after THPS3, with the exception of maybe THUG), I can not make this comitment. Prove to me you can bring your franchise back up to a level were I can trust you and maybe then we can start over. I am just to scared of getting sonic'd all over again. So,I guess this means we should go our seperate ways. I will always remember the good times we had and hope one day we can still be friends.
love,
TheC0A7S

Wow... I was kind of skeptical when I first heard about the whole board peripheral, but after seeing the gameplay it's yet the same old Tony Hawk game with generic ass controls, crazy fucking fast fliptricks where you can't even tell what happened.
I'll just wait for Skate 3, a game I can play while having a beer or two without having to restrain myself from kickflipping a board into my tv set. A game that, despite not having a peripheral, actually feels more like skateboarding then this game looks to be doing.
Since when was skateboarding about going 120mph down a ledge or doing 45 fliptricks within one jump?
Skateboarding to me was always about relaxing, about the flow and about nailing that one trick on a certain object or gap. Not about skateboarding like a fucking nascar driver.
Meh... just woke up, had to vent I suppose.
