According to IGN, the PS3 version of Tony Hawk's Project 8 suffers from two key problems. First, as previously announced, the PS3 version lacks an online mode. However, more suprisingly, the PS3's Project 8 frequently grinds to halt. The game chugs and the framerate frequently drops to an unplayable 15 FPS.
To sum it up, IGN says "It's certainly disappointing that the PlayStation 3 is so far behind the Xbox 360 game. Framerate issues are apparent at every other turn, and the lack of online play really hurts. Project 8 is a worthy game to pick up, just preferably not on this system."
Andrew says: "That’s not just glorified sensationalist video game journalism, it’s an indisputable fact that these games are some of the highest rated games of all-time. Did you know that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, on the PS1, stands at 98 on Metacritic? The best game of all-time is only one point above it. There’s your fact of the day."
I was so sad when I saw number 1. But then I had the realization, and I definitely agree. Their number one is my number one. I think it perfected the classic formula without feeling too bloated, and all the levels were bops!
Pro Skater 2 I think was the one for me. I remember playing the demo for that level from OPM for hours until the full game released. Pause and hit retry before the timer ran out to find all the secrets!
Underground 1 was my favorite
Why is American Wasteland so low on the list? I personally like it better than all the Pro Skater games.
Straight up terrible list, filled with incorrect information. Not that I was expecting anything of value to begin with, nearly no one out there actually understands or appreciates the later excellent games in the series.
We know there’s a new Tony Hawk’s in the works, but it should feel like the oldest of entries to the series.
There's a new Tony Hawk game coming?
Cautiously optimistic. I want the series to end on a positive note but the last what like 6 entries have been severely disappointing. Hope this one ends the curse.
I think the series went downhill when they had all the jackass characters in the game..
I support this article. THPS2 - best Tony Hawk EVAH. The franchise needs to drop the gimmicks and get back to what matters - addictive, thrilling skateboarding.
Long before he grew out his stache and became a lovable mainstream fixture as Earl Hickey on NBC’s hit sitcom, “My Name Is Earl,” Jason Lee fell in love with skateboarding. The former pro skater first got on a board at age 5. These days, the Southern California native spends more time in front of Hollywood cameras – he’s currently filming the second season of TNT’s “Memphis Beat” in New Orleans -- than on a skateboard. Gamers most recently saw and head Lee as Coach Frank in Electronic Arts’ SKATE 3 game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Lee talks about his TV series and his “old school” video game days, in this exclusive interview from the set of his show.
Jason Lee is a fantastic actor. I really hope he stars in some future movies, not just TV shows.
He's a Scientologist now, so obviously his decision making ability has been impaired. Was this an interview or an "audit"?
Loved him and Mark Gonzales in 'Video Days' true skateboard geniuses, still got the Transworld Skateboarding Mag where Jason Lee was introduced, these guys were true originals/good guys/talented artists that helped establish skateboarding culture and made it into what it is today.
He was in a lot of Kevin Smith movies. He's great. I liked him in Earl too. Haven't seen memphis though.
Got OWNED!!! LOL
Thats all I have to say!!!
That is sad man. It is possible that IGN has a bad PS3 console. Once again it is good to be a 360 owner.
i doubt a bad ps3 is the case. it is that they didn't get the info to the developer in time to make the game as good as the 360 version and the developer is on a schedule to release both at the same time so some things must suffer in the ps3 version.
Repeat of the last generation power vs power wise. Sony added some plugs and a DVD player to counter the Inferior hardware. Yet again Sony has fooled people to buy a Inferior console with a Inferior service. Quote":It's certainly disappointing that the PlayStation 3 is so far behind the Xbox 360 game.

This is so sad for ps3 and the people that will be buying them. O well the 360 version is the better and more complete version so I'm happy.
