It feels and looks a little too similar to some of the older Tony Hawk games, and does feel dated in that respect. Unfortunately, some of the levels are very small giving you little opportunity for exploration, and you will get fed up on seeing the same grinding fences, half pipes and generic objects over and over again.

You'll also be met with very familiar objectives to complete, such as collecting the S-K-A-T-E letters scattered about, and even a hidden VHS tape or CD will be there for you to find. The feel and look of the levels both throw you back to the original game, and specific levels, such as School III, are a specific homage to the older games. It is obvious that the game plays on the nostalgia factor to attract its players, and this nostalgia is strong as soon as you step on your board in the level.

Once that is out of the way, you can enter the seven main levels in the game, which feels quite short for a full retail release.

Luckily these can be skipped - because the controls really haven't changed all the much and don't introduce anything new to grasp - one thing that was irritating though is that one tutorial tells you to do the special moves, and yet doesn't give you the buttons for these, despite doing so for all the earlier moves. The tutorial is split up into different sections to teach you all about each of these tricks step by step, so even someone completely new to the skateboarding genre will be able to pick up the basics by the end of the fairly lengthy lessons. The controls have not changed that much over the years, and whilst they may not be the exact same symbols as the earlier PlayStation versions, the buttons are still in the same places. If you are unfamiliar with the game series, you have the opportunity to complete the tutorial, that will either introduce you to the moves of the game or re-familiarise you with the controls. In the aim of "going back to basics", Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 has no story mode, and instead focusing on a group of different levels that you can explore and which have objectives for you to complete.

As a matter of fact, the version you can buy on disc for PS4 and Xbox One is so bad that you cannot even download the patch that the game requires to unlock all of the content that is supposed to be there.Tony Hawk finally makes his way onto Xbox One You can clearly tell that this is a game that was thrown together as quickly as possible. The whole game just has a real lack of polish, but worse than that is the lack of personality. The controls that Tony Hawks - Pro Skater 5 has are just not fun at all.

I like this idea and when it works it is cool, the problem is that it does not work all of the time.Īctually, most of the controls do not work all the time as they should! This is a series that was so much fun to play mainly because the controls were so great, fluid, easy to get to grips with and hard to master.

Going back to basics, in theory, was a good idea and they did add in a cool stomp the ground move which would allow you to stomp your board down when you are in the air if there is a rail or something below you. The gameplay of this strips back many of the features which were added to the series starting all the way back with Tony Hawk Underground. It is more frustrating than anything else. I think that the idea behind Tony Hawks - Pro Skater 5 is great, but the execution is not! They rushed the game and as a result the actual gameplay which on occasion can feel fun.
