Pro Skater 5 doesn’t even come close to the content or replay value found within its predecessors. Pro Skater’s past has been all about content, massive amounts of glorious content. Collecting the words “skate” and “combo” isn’t original, nabbing a VHS tape is no longer cool since I haven’t used one in probably ten years, and busting out predictable combination-lines is nowhere near what it use to be.

There are a disappointing number of design and technical problems that range from frustrating to flat-out broken, making this attempt at returning the series to glory a non-starter. Ride, build, and repeat Pull off signature Pro Skater moves and extended trick combinations. I would have been a little less disappointed with the replay value, let alone the entire game, if the game were presented as a Pro Skater 1 remake, because that’s exactly how it feels. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 occasionally flirts with the joy of movement and attitude that made the original four games classics, but the wheels quickly come off. Tony Hawks® Pro Skater 5 offers a fresh take on combo-driven skateboarding, the most advanced online multiplayer experience, and a state-of-the-art skatepark builder. Yes, I understand this has been the Pro Skater format since day one, but at least give us some variety and a storyline or a reason to complete these challenges. However, almost all of the missions are presented in a rinse and repeat format - the only difference is the setting in which you bang out these challenges. The replay value initially seems to be rather robust with 8 environments, 80 different challenges, 10 pro skaters to choose from (including Lil’ Wayne for some reason), and the ability to simultaneously play with 20 players online. The only quarrel I have with the music department is the lack of in-game sounds for particular actions such as ollieing, kickflipping, and wiping out- they're completely nonexistent. The cool aspect about the music chosen is that it doesn’t overpower the intended gaming experience and offers a good variety of bands that synch well together.

Each track blends perfectly with the last and the flawless compositional choice is on full display. Going back to its Pro Skater roots, we were promised the same game modes, controls. No Tony Hawk game is complete without a solid soundtrack and Pro Skater 5 definitely has the tunes to keep gamers working through the basic challenges and game modes. When Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 Achievements was announced, there was a cautious air of excitement surrounding it. The music blends flawlessly with the fast-paced gameplay and actually makes the experience a little more enjoyable. The one bright spot contained within this confusing mix of questionable development choices is the stellar soundtrack.
With that said I do not enjoy writing massive reviews for a video game, but in this case I might have to write more than usual. So I have been waiting for a new THPS game for some time now.
Ive played every game from the THPS franchise. Blood and Gore, Crude Humor, Language, Mild Violence, Tobacco Reference Im a Tony Hawk Pro Skater fan since day one.
