Tony Hawk's Proving Ground

The worst Tony Hawk game I have ever played. Trying to make a button mashing game challenging by making you have to combo EVERYTHING is just stupid. Even the distance challenges seem glitchy, where you have to get about 10 feet past the Sick marker for it to actually give you a sick rating. Most of the challenges require tons of trial and error and way more patience than it's worth. Sometimes it's even hard to find a challenge, because they're scattered all over the place, and there's still the annoying gaps to find which have very vague names that could mean anything and you either have to gap everything or just look online for the gap locations

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground sucks.

Tony Hawk's Underground

The greatest Skateboarding game ever created by mankind. At the time of writing this, the game is 10 years and 3 months old and is still widely known as the best Skating game ever made. If Neversoft had any sense, they would release it in the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Jimmy's Mom: So, Jimmy, what do you want for Christmas 2014? Xbox one, PS4...?
Jimmy: Nah, I saw a PS2 on eBay for $24.
Jimmy's Mom: Okay... why a PS2? I thought I bought you one of those, like, 12 years ago.
Jimmy: Yeah but it broke last year. I want another one so i can play Tony Hawk's Underground. It's sick.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

A skateboarding video game by Neversoft that takes place in several different parts of Los Angeles, and also a classic mode and normal story mode. Usually referred to as "THAW".

In my silly opinion, it's good but mediocre compared to Tony hawks American Underground 2 (THUG2).

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland is NO Tony Hawk's Underground 2, I'm sorry.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

*Seventh game in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Available for the Playstation 2, the Xbox, the Xbox 360, and the Gamecube. Characterized by the false promise of allowing the player to skate through all of Los Angeles County, it is actually composed of several boring levels.
*a false promise

*Tony Hawk's American Wasteland costs $60 on the Xbox 360 even though it is the worst version of the game.
* You said we could go to Disneyland! Was that just a Tony Hawk's American Wasteland?

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

A series of skateboarding video games published by Activision and developed by Neversoft from 1999-2007, with Robomodo developing 4 games from 2009 to 2015. The games developed by Neversoft, especially those from the 5th and 6th generation, are often looked upon fondly by gamers and are regarded as some of the greatest video games of all time, due to their easy-to-learn controls, addictive gameplay, legendary soundtracks, and in later games, captivating storylines. Robomodo took over the series in 2009 when Activision put Neversoft on Guitar Hero and Call of Duty, and the final 4 games aren't remembered as fondly. Ride and Shred were notoriously bad due to their ridiculously high launch prices, unresponsive motion controls, and bland maps. In 2012 and 2015, Robomodo tried going back to the series' roots, with the classic gameplay and control scheme of the original games. Pro Skater HD received mixed reviews due to its limited map selection and wonky physics engine, but it was nowhere near as bad as Pro Skater 5, which released in 2015. THPS5 was panned for containing plenty of glitches, constant crashing, bland maps, terrible physics, clunky mechanics, a limited Create-a-Skater mode, and having to download a massive day one patch that still didn't resolve any of the game's issues. It was later revealed that the game was rushed due to Activision's contract with Tony Hawk coming to an end in 2015, and the contract was never extended.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is one of the greatest video game franchises of all time. While its lows were very low indeed, the best games in the series gained massive critical acclaim and are still considered among the most successful products of the video game industry.
