Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 

 

I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 after the PR and Marketing for Activision failed us so utterly. This skating game is hard. In fact casual gamers will only get frustrated, aggravated, agitated, irritated, and angry from playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. Why can’t they make this game more approachable? The tutorial is an important part of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. Even then Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is extremely difficult.

I had to turn the music off in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. The ugly, mean, hate filled music is what gives it the thirteen and older ESRB rating. The ESRB missed the violence and gore in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. What kind of gore? A characters head can expand and then explode off the body. There is also the violence of crashing and seeing the characters body flop around in stomach turning ways.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 contains multiplayer areas, multiple real skaters, your own character customization, and multiple missions in each area. I wish Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 let players progress after beating a couple of the missions. Some of the missions in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 are near impossible to figure out. Do not expect much help from this game in how to beat them either.

Being able to build our own skate parks is pretty cool in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. It is like having a sandbox mode. Only one family member can play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 at a time. Which is lame beyond belief. There is the nasty online mode for those that want to drain their Internet usage. The skaters in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 do not look like the real people. I am surprised that is lacking so badly.

It hurt me to see my skater face plant into an empty pool. All of the online content is a waste of time and resources in my opinion. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 fell flat on its face in terms of being playable by all skill sets. I can understand if there is a learning curve and the last area is hard. The first area should not be a cliff to scale. I gave up because I could not complete certain missions and unlock the next area. Pass on this game unless you are a video game skating expert.
