Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD | Review (XBLA)

Tony Hawks Skater HDng> is a gameat at nobody askforfor, but a feeopeople are stiprepretty exciteboubout. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. THPSHD (yikes) seems like a great idea at first. Robomodo has supposedlakeaken the best aspects of both the first and second games, promised content from part 3 as DLC (oh boy) messed with the rosterlitlittle, and even made up new game modes for something that promises to be more than just your typical HD re-release. But, well, it doesnt work very well. Whatever Activision and Neversoft captured in the 90s, Robomodo didnt get it, and has instead offered up something that resembles a blast from the past, but is in reality a sterile, lifeless, robotic(heh) mimicry of the real thing. Sorry folks, the game may have Superman in it, but nostalgic... [via Roboawesome]
