Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 Review

Hoping to get a patch to fix a game unfinished skate legend returns to disappoint his fans.

Robomodo and Disruptive Games have also introduced some elements that, well, are not needed nor spare , but we understand in the need to get new experience. The slam is added to the functionality of the triangle, which enables us to make a kind of sharp decline, typically designed to grind and unsuccessfully to replace the acid drops . Table enhancers to give some variety, but neither seem to me necessary to excess.

Playing online gives you fair amount of fun, yet still expects a split screen mode.

Playing online gives you fair amount of fun, yet still expects a split screen mode.

The big news is the online game, which will encourage us to compete against other players or work with them. The game matched us with our level users, allowing us to find more or less balanced games. We have taken a good piques here, and we have enjoyed tried to challenges with a friend, but would have enjoyed more throwing them from the couch. greatly missed the split screen , but if the game has trouble keeping the framerate stable for one .. .

Sections audiovisual

The truth is that we find it difficult to understand that Tony Hawk’s Project 8 on Xbox 360 -corregidnos would work if we equivocamos- at 720p and 60 frames per second, with open world and arguably superior graphics, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 sweat to keep to 60 frames (at 1080p) with a remarkably closed scenarios and outdated graphics.

The cosmetic change is not necessarily bad, but in terms of consistency about it, perhaps, some of the spin-off we saw in Nintendo consoles to major deliveries of the saga. At least the design of the tracks are correct and the atmospheres are quite adequate, with many, many nods to old levels and classic moments. Perhaps these winks makes us forgive some of his mistakes by nostalgia, but by no means come to obscure the state of the game.

The interface is nonsense, with several different fonts and icons own prototype.

Music, another hallmark of the identity of Tony Hawk’s , is reasonably well. It is not the best in the series, far away, but going from classics like Anti-Flag to “newbies” as the supergroup Killer Be Killed, through other bands as diverse as Icon for Hire or Cold Cave . The truth is that the soundtrack seems more successful than that of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD , and in any case, is perfect for skating. Furthermore, we can always put our substantive issues and enjoy.

Hope patch

Though not always accessible, THPS5 keeps part of the fun of its predecessors.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is not finished. As simple as that. It depends on the fate of each game can be an enjoyable game or meaningless chaos by a series of technical problems that ruin the experience . Eye, though he was polishing its aspects would also have to improve, generally derived from a not as good as the classic, modified control scheme without success and lack of physical present some movements in the original deliveries.

Do not really know what happened to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 . We believe that Robomodo is not the right study for this saga, it is likely that Activision has gotten more haste account, and that everything has been aligned to give rise to what nobody wanted to happen. We hope that, through patches, they get dispel all that dirty the essence of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 . Essence which, when we managed to get us back 15 years ago and reminds us that what made ​​this saga so bright.

Good

  • Certain Levels are fun and well designed
  • Power-ups and combos are rewarding

Bad

  • Coding has so many bugs and glitches, it has to be patched and we mean like right away!
  • Even it has it's fun moments, there is nothing new but just an imitation of the previous games.
  • Doesn't justify the full price unless you are die-hard Tony Hawk's fan

Bad

As far as I can remember, I've been surrounded by technology. My father bought us a Commodore 64 so I started playing games as a baby, following my passion with Amiga 500, then PC and so on. I love game related collectibles, and when I'm not collecting I review games, watch movies and TV Shows or you may catch me keeping a low profile at Game Events.
