You will all have played a Tony Hawks: Pro Skater game at some point in your life. It is an unwritten rule of our generation. However with more spin-off games and companies trying to appeal to different and seemingly unreachable groups, I present to you – Townie Hawks: Pro Gangster. The Tony Hawks games revolve around skating but Pro Gangster will be based around robberies, mugging a looking well ‘ard.
The game will, of course, take place on a number of different levels. There are set to include:-
- The local high-street at night
- The Rockport shop in town
- A random bus shelter
- School. (Only after it is closed though)
- The dole office
- A sweatshop in Brighton
However no level would be complete without tasks or mission to undergo. And Townie Hawks: Pro Gangster is bursting with them.
Instead of collecting the S,K,A,T,E letters, like you do on all Tony Hawks games, you are to collect giant letters spelling I,N,N,I,T. However these cannot simply be obtained by walking over them, oh no, you have to steal a car from an old man in a wheelchair and drive the car into a community centre filled with girl guides. You kidnap several of the kids and use them as baseball bats to swipe at the giant letters until you have smashed it up, along with the girl guides face.
Another popular aspect of the Tony Hawks games in the trick contests, however Pro Gangster will do things a little differently. Instead of seeing how many cool tricks you can pull off in a 2-minute time limit you will see how many people you can needless wallop around the face with a crowbar. Extra marks will be given for combos (Look for bus queues and pension lines) and if you can assault AND rob someone you get a 500-point bonus.
Something else included in most of the Pro Skater games is helping someone with a task, but in the name of uttermost controversy, things will be a little warped in Townie Hawks. You will be helping someone, but for entirely different reasons. You will help your mate in his ploy to ram-raid the local cash and carry and steal booze, cigs and the cash register. You will have to put masking tape over the security cameras and beat the crap out of the 75 year old security guard who will try to stop you. Bonus points if you get his credit card too.
In Tony Hawks 4 you have to collect the hats of 5 policemen for one of the tasks. This will be paralleled into Pro Gangster in a more, erm, illegal way. You have to steal 5 old women’s handbags before the 60 seconds time limit expires. You can do this by any means, force, stealth or the old, “look over there” trick. Once you have the 5 bags you can rifle through and get any useful items like credit cards, pension books and curlers.
Of course various other violent and illegal activities will be included in the game, but it makes you wonder what Activision will lend their name to next!
Hope you enjoyed

ok... hes won 14 GADs and at £35 a time, hes won over £400 wirth of games... and your calling that wasting time... i dont, if he enjoys writing it then good for him
I will say something, though, if you didn't moan about not winning (You do have 14 wins too, so it's not like you haven't won alot!) and perhaps if you left out the gay membership with the gym comments, maybe we wouldn't be so critical.
But I can only voice my opinion so far. ;)
You say you don't waste your time writing posts on SR, you do A level coursework instead. Well the sheer amount of time you spend having a go at me has to be tallying pretty high by now.

That started it.
:-D
Awwwww..
I'm telling...
We voiced our opinions and stated things.
You went and moaned like a little kiddy who isn't allowed to buy any sweets.
Difference.
And don't go saying that a free game is amazing, because all that time that you are wasting writing things to win £35 games, I am doing A Level coursework.
Waste my time writing endless amounts of crap so I can win a few things now, or, work hard at school so I can get the qualifications I need to go to University, so I can get a better qualification there, so I can get a better job than you will, and finally so I can earn more money than you and just buy games instead of having to try and win them.
What should I do?
Hmmmm...

Did I threaten you? No, I didnt threaten you at all!
Maybe the GAD standards were low on that day but still I won and am happy.
When you win and I complain that my post should have won GAD, perhaps I am stating a fact and my post did deserve to win. You are tying what you have said in knots and twisting peoples words to use for your own means, you stop whilst you're ahead. Please.
