In this game, no ground is sacred - skate on anything that holds still long enough, and sneak into spots only you can find by way of ladder, rooftop or even sewer! Just watch out for security guards who will toss you out of the choice locations. There's more to it than just idle skating - assert your authority by skate-checking jerks who get in your way, or compete in races to impress other skaters! No need to be content with existing bowls and ramps, either - there are a number of moddable objects in every city, so you can knock over billboards, bend lamp posts, and rearrange your world as you see fit. There's even a new personalizable feature - your very own skate lounge! You can stock it full of ramps, gear, flat-screens, cars or even helicopters, and get rewarded with lounge additions by taking on skate challenges and competitions. With all this, plus customized skating avatars, the ability to create your own skate videos and hundreds of skater challenges with different rewards, Tony Hawk: Proving Ground takes the traditonal skateboarding game above and beyond. Multiple levels of moddable objects in every city - use the hammer tool to kink rails, bend lamp posts, knock over billboards, and pull up grates Earn money in the game to customize your own skate lounge Shoot, edit and score your own skate videos.

 The Same Game Over and Over Again November 28, 2007

2007 is a year of a new generation of videogames. Genres have been redefined, lines have been crossed. Developers have really been thinking outside of the box this year, and many true classics have been released. This, on the other hand, is another improved version of Tony Hawk's Underground, which came out how many years ago? Too many to count. I have bought pretty much every Tony Hawk game. Underground was a great game, for it's time. I have bought every Tony Hawk game since then, hoping for change. I have spent much money on this series, but every time I buy another sequel, I am very dissapointed. Many of my friends who actually skate hate this game, for it's lack of realism. I, personally, am not bothered by that, for it's a videogame. The thing that bothers me is the lack of anything fresh, its basically Underground being recycled over and over again. I'm tired of playing these games, I've given Neversoft enough chances. If you're looking for something fresh, get Skate. It's an amazing game, it's realistic, and the controls are revolutionary. It's what I've been waiting for all this time. This series, on the other hand, is in serious trouble if they don't start getting creative. They need to focus on the core element: skating. Controls, Tricks, Difficulty. Those are all important. Pulling off a simple line in Skate is equivalent to a 100,000 point combo in Tony Hawk.
In Conclusion, this game is behind it's time. It's time for Neversoft to wake up and realize that theres another game out there that's better than theirs, much better. For the sake of your money and entertainment, buy Skate.

What can I say, i grew up in Philly and the environment is extremely detailed and realistic. graphics are sick, of course so is everything on xbox 360... i really like how u can make your own videos and compete online, since none of my friends are nearly as good as me at this game! new tricks are pretty cool, always an improvement. soundtrack is decent, although i am looking to download some better songs off Live and plug them into the game. speaking of songs, the guitar hero demo is pretty sweet as well.
great gameplay and physics, realistic environments and cool new features. overall A+ from me!

This is the best game in the Tony Hawk series by far. There are plenty of challenges (and new skills) for even the most advanced player. Nail-a-grab is a one of the best new features. HIghly recommended.
