I haven't bought a game since Zelda and so naturally It was about time I didn't rely on the "once in a blue moon" GAD attempt and actually buy a game or two...

I ended up with 4.

For £50 Dringo of the SR forums bought:

Bomberman Generations
James Bond: Nightfire
Medal of Honor: Frontline
And...
Skies of Arcadia: Legends.

Not bad huh?

No one is right because they are opinions. I personally can't stand T Hawk games now but at the time I remember enjoying 3 much more than 4.

Mav is right...

2 is better than 3 but I find them all fantastic. Underground will knock peoples socks off.

Xbox World should be shot. There was much more of a 'pick up and play' feel to Tony Hawk's 4, what with the fact that you had no limit to what you did and the levels weren't clustered up with various objectives. Not having a set timer also gave the developers a lot more freedom with the goals, meaning they're now more refined and fun.

Tony Hawk's 3 was the worst for me, due to the poor level design, ridiculous objectives and break from the second's slick style of gameplay. Tony Hawk's 4 reverted back to the excellence of No 2 and is quite easily the best so far. In my opinion.

"Hawk 4 ruined the party by switching to a stupid challenge based open ended format so we say THPS3 is the best. Smaller levels, more fun. Cheap too"

So Ali isn't the only one to not like it.

Calm-down, ladies; it's just a game - not real-life!

There's no need to get so "worked-up" about things like this.



...Wouldn't want to break a nail, after all, would you! ;D

Thats funny having 100% Tony Hawks 1-3 as well as getting 100% on the reoportedly most "difficult" extreme sports title to date in Wakeboarding Unleashed. Its not hard, its boring.

But my excuse wasn't "It makes sense to me" now was it. It was I don't enjoy playing games with a load of mystery players... I can't get my head around the concept... I don't enjoy it.

Hedfix came along and started talking about how LIVE is useful for downloading extra content and I really can't argue with that. But I was referring to Online games in general and besides I'm not paying however much it is to download an extra level or weapon. Especially as the idea hasn't caught on yet.

You're getting all stressed out because I thought your reasoning for not likeing THPS4 is poor. More often than not people don't enjoy a technically great game is because they're naff at it and wouldn't give it the time of day to improve.

Makes sense to me :D

I don't have to go around justifying myself to people I rarely talk to on an online forum. I'm not listing massive reasons why as there is no point.
