I understand there are more features with THPS and the create park is a brilliant idea, but SKATE would do it better. Not all ramps are placed at perfect 90 degree angles to each other like THPS are implying. Another key feature i like of SKATE is there is an element of skill. THPS is all about pressing x to jump and direct and square to flip etc, SKATE, you have to move the sticks on the correct direction in a similar way that your feet would go on the board. I dont like the way in skate you always end up on your arse but it is a much better and entertaining game I have owned every version of THPS up to project 8 and have loved them, but after playing SKATE, THPS looks poor.

Lets wait and see what the next version of the Hawk series brings! The controls are just as “button mashing” as before i’m afraid!

The game play still looks to be as unrealistic as ever and the graphics look nowhere near as good in comparison to EA SKATE.. Are the controls the same as ever..??
