Tony Hawk’s Project 8 is the eighth game in the Tony Hawk Series

Posted on Dec 30, 2008 09:44:55 PM

Tony Hawk’s Project 8 is the eighth game in the Tony Hawk series. This game comes with a simple storyline and it is all about Tony Hawk trying to find the top eight skaters in the world. At the beginning of the game the players are ranked in 200th place and it is their task to reach the top spot. The players are also entrusted with the task of finding the hidden items, performing tasks for the pro skaters and completing goals for the bystanders. One of the most fascinating things about this game is, it doesn’t make you feel bored and you will wish to play it again and again.

The most amazing feature in Tony Hawk’s Project 8 game is the graphic design and the different difficulty levels. The game doesn’t allow players to set their difficulty level and path but instead the players are given certain goals to be accomplished. Every goal in the game has three separate levels, namely amateur, sick and pro levels. Only on completing these levels the various passages will be uncovered, the chalk challenge being the most interesting level. One of the additional features in the Tony Hawk’s Project 8 is the “nail-the-trick”. In nail-the-trick mode, the players can play in slow motion. Through this the players can view their feet and skateboard in slow motion with a single click which gives the players a feel of watching a movie.

The game offers the players ten different areas, each one distinct from the other yet connected. The features in Tony Hawks Project 8 are numerous, but one of the liveliest one is the spot challenge where the other players can set their records and challenge the player to follow them. With eight points from critics and awards for its good background score this game deserves all the applause. The graphics of this game resemble the next-gen graphics. The tutorial facility available enables new comers to find their balance and making them feel comfortable with the controls. With a simple storyline which falls straight to the subject, the game is definitely a thing of delight for ardent fans of skating. So take your skating board and be the first one among your friends to reach the top rank.

2 Xtreme is too Extreme for the PSP

Posted on Nov 6, 2008 04:25:43 PM

A variety of extreme sports are featured in extreme locations and events in this interesting and fascinating game, called 2Xtreme which was released in the year 1996. On the lines of Jet Moto, Rally Cross and Crash Bandicoot, the 2 Xtreme provides some interesting and exciting playing experience.

You can choose events and locations with the help of the menu system. You can also keep track of your performance as you take part in various events. You get to take part in events which take part in a variety of cities. This is exciting as you see a number of different things around in different cities. All places are characterized by winding and long courses similar to the one in Road Rash.

Fun and excitement characterize every race. If by chance, you collide into or run into an object, you do not have the option of toppling over. You are required to get up, steady yourself and get around the object by maneuvering sideways which is about the only thing you can do in this situation.

There are various methods with which you can save your energy. As you go around racing, being aware of saving your energy in order to not come to a standstill is an interesting and challenging option in the game. As you are kicking your skateboard or peddling your bike, you tend to lose a lot of energy and somewhere along the way, when all your energy is lost, you can no longer continue kicking.

Energy saving options includes couching down as you race downhill which will enable you to pick up speed as well as save on your energy. You need skill to identify the downhill course though as some of them are flat and some actually go steep downhill.

If you are fond of racing around and competing in events in interesting locales, then the 2 Xtreme is the game for you. Have endless hours of extreme racing excitement, entertainment and fun with this game on your favorite PSP. For those interested in sports and related events, this game provides the ultimate experience.

Skate Park City wants to (and should) inherit Tony Hawk

Posted on May 26, 2008 12:04:06 PM

There is really something going on right now in the skating market. The virtual skating market is doing just as well, especially for people who want to experience all the action of Tony Hawk’s Indy 900, but aren’t fans of broken legs.

Tony Hawk isn’t even the only option in this arena anymore either, except of course for the PSP. Even the last Tony Hawk game released for the PSP, Project 8, is already over a year old. But now the low budget game publisher Midas wants to end the skating drought and come out with Skate Park City in just over a month.

A few screenshots are available on the publisher’s website and they definitely have me craving for more. One special highlight is how the game consciously divorces itself from realism. This means: UFOs, air mines, and a sick story. Virus, the “crazy skater-hater”, has kidnapped some of your skater pals who need to be freed. There are 30 different tricks, an open world for skating or flying, and even an online multiplayer mode to help you accomplish this. And everything takes place in an environment that’s not exactly breathtaking, but definitely pretty nice. We can’t make any judgements in terms of the controls just yet, but it is safe to say the developers won’t try anything completely revolutionary. The game should cost £20 in the UK, so around 40 dollars for us.
