Brutality.

Stopped playing at THPS 3. Get high score missions and collecting letters and shit. Then you grind, grind, grind.

Bought this today and I'm really digging it. It just really needed more time to be optimized. When the framerate drops it spasms like a light induced epileptic seizure. The PS3 review I read said that framerate was even worse! Really sucks, a solid 30fps would make a big difference.

Then again, I only played the game for about half an hour, maybe it just takes getting used to.

Honestly, what were you expecting?

Seriously, what the fuck, that is retarded. He calls the ps2 version the worst tony hawk ever, giving it a 6.3. What really sucks is how they stripped all the create a modes down or got rid of them all together, and why the hell does this version not have online support?

I've put a little bit of time into it, and really, the Square button isn't an issue to me. The original controls still function perfectly, and I think it's way safer to hit up-down than to assume that hitting square won't throw you into an unexpected double kickflip or something.

That aside. 30 fps blows, and there's a definite huge drop in customization, but I've liked pretty much everything else about the game. The level design seems really nice, I love the speed boosts, and I'm warming up to nail the trick the more I use it.
