Gaming Nexus: Tony Hawk Ride Review #2

Gaming Nexus writes: "Oh how the mighty have fallen. There was a time around the turn of the century where I would have told you that the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise was one of video game's strongest. It was right at the time when Neversoft had perfected the controls, figured out how to design incredible levels and added online multiplayer. But as the years went on and the installments kept coming, the brand started to lose some of its spark. They tried adding story, an open world and other gimmicks to the franchise, but none of this made the series feel fresh and new again. By the time Tony Hawk's Proving Ground came around I was sick of complaining and ready for something completely different. Had I known the difference would be Tony Hawk Ride, I would never have complained about lackluster efforts like Tony Hawk's Proving Ground and American Wasteland." D-/A+
