Advantages: Good gameplay, lots of replay value

Disadvantages: Poor graphics

This was the first Tony Hawk game I played. Initially I found it somewhat difficult to get to grips with the controls on the keyboard but after a little while I was used to it. Some people may require controllers but it's not impossible to play on the keyboard, it just takes a little patience.

The career mode is the main attraction and there are 8 levels to complete with a bonus level available once you reach 100%. Whilst you may think 8 levels is not many, some of the challenges are far from easy to complete and will take you several goes. The bonus level also has its own challenges, it isn't just a free skate level. Once you have completed career mode with one skater you can try to do so with others though I don't remember there being any extras for doing so.

Adding to the replay value are the single player freeskate and single session modes as well as online multiplayer which has eight modes of play. Multiplayer should keep you satisfied for a time. The soundtrack fits very well with the game but the graphics are somewhat lacking.

Overall its a pretty good game but most of the newer TH titles have surpassed it.

Summary: Buy one of the newer TH titles if you can get one cheap
