Fans of the skateboarding game now have two new titles to sink their teeth into, Activision's Tony Hawk's Proving Ground hitting Aussie retail nationwide today.
The latest instalment in the #1 best-selling action sports franchise delivers deeper customisation than ever before, empowering players with the freedom to define their character and story based on the choices they make, the paths they skate and the style they want. In addition, the game features a fully-loaded video editor, complete with editing tools and a visual effects suite to create epic skate videos, and a customisable skate lounge where players can skate with friends online in the ultimate, personalised pad.
Xbox 360, PS2 and Nintendo DS versions land today, with Wii and PS3 offerings following on October 31st. As a bonus, the Xbox 360 version of the game also includes a 5 track demo sampler of Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock - a tasty gesture to tide us over until that game's November 7th release.

skate. Definitely. It's awesome to say the least. The controls work perfectly, and as there are no ridiculous combos you can perform, just doing a kickflip to a boardslide, then exiting with a laser flip actually feels like an accomplishment.

Wait until you get to the X-Games...

Get it on the 360 though, as the graphics and frame-rate are better than the Playstation 3 counter-part.

Have you got the actual game?

Also, the first three Tony Hawk's Pro Skaters aren't bad, they're awesome. It was only after them that the same formula over and over again got a tad boring.

tony hawk is a much better game than skate and will always be the bench mark.

No.

Skate's a game with skaters behind it... The tony hawk series is a game with a skater slapped on the front. If you're a skating fan, you'll buy skate, not this trash.
