First of all got this game today and my first port of call was the pub where i could play it online. Sadly even though my DS found the wifi connection in the pub it would not let me connect. The WIFI machine said i needed to pay for ANY wireless device in order to get the access code that i had to put into my DS.
So i don't know where people got the idea it was free from as you have to pay.
As for the game one word describes it .... EXCELLENT!
This is by far the best Tony Hawks game in a long time and it goes back to the core of the series, no driving aboyut in cars or bikes this is skateboard action at its finest.
The first thing you do is set up your own character, you choose the skin tone, hair style, clothes ect and then your ready to go into the first area Hollywood. You are given the options of Story mode, Classic mode, freeskate mode, and wifi Oh and the skateshop where you can create your own parks, characters and design custom tags ect.
The graphical style is very nice the game works very well cel shaded. As for the music well this shocked me. The game features full tracks from well known artists such as Green Day i think there is about 15 full tracks and you can fully customise them in a playlist of your choosing.
Now into the level design. I have only been playing the first two levels but so far the level design is flawless, great use of wires and grinds to get you to hidden areas and by the looks of things theres quite a few hidden areas in each level.
This time as well as being able to do combos you have some pre set touch combos which are very easy to pull off and should you bail a huge trick all is not lost as you get to play the touch bars mini game to try and save as much of your score as you can. This is done by trying to stop 3 moving bars as close to the top of the touch screen, the higher you get the more you score. The first couple of times you do this in a level its slow then it gets faster and faster each time you do it.
The game seams to have 7 areas but i am banking on 1 hidden one (at least).
You are also able to view a replay of your run and save it after if you choose to.
This game is huge i am guessing but i would say the 1 player has 25-30+ hours for the experenced player.
This game brings back the glory days of the series (Tony Hawks 2+3).
The game is an easy 9/10 and if the developers live upto the promise of downloadable that could go as high as 9.5
Im off to play more i will post more impressions later.
