dogbert Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Anyone playing this? I've rented it from GameFly for the 360 & I'm really torn over it. Its design & playability are a huge step over last year's American Wasteland, and is truly a next generation "Tony Hawk" with the new modes, the new level layout/progression & just the general change in direction of "back to basics". The 'nail the trick' mode is awesome once you get to grips with it, the new challenge system feels natural, and the general feel rocks. The downside is the framerate sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks. It can't stay steady at all, chopping whenever there's a good view of the complicated and big level. For me, it's dragging down all of the hard work that Neversoft obviously have put into this game, and it's a real shame. I love the changes I listed above but I can't get past the framerate.

Parrish Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 It's in my Gamefly queue, as I enjoyed the 'Nail the Track' thing in the demo quite a bit. The reviews I've seen seem to indicate what you have - it's a definite step forward, but there are definite technical issues as well.

JoeyN Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Brian I read that if you think the 360 Framerate is bad, the PS3 version is worse from all the reviews. Its truely amazing how both versions are screweed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Besides the framerate issues I like it alot. I'll pick it up at some point but not at $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hopefully, it's teething troubles with their first real next-gen game, and next year's hits the framerate nice & solid as all of the changes they've made rock. I love what they've done with it, I just can't play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Disappointed to hear about the frame rate issues. Glad it’s taking a more back to basics role though. Hawk’s 2 remains my favourite outing in the series. Perhaps if they maintain the traditional approach for the next game I might just own a 360 by the time it comes out.

Magness Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yea good to hear that its back to basics and everything and I too liked the Nail The Trick thing in the demo, bad to hear about framrate. I'll probably still pick this one up eventually - I'll just wait for a price drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
