Looking over at the WIFI Friend Codes thread, it doesn't seem like anybody is playing Tony Hawk online at all. How come? Is the $40 pricetag keeping people away?
 
I got it and I love it. Easily the best TH since 2. The story mode was really easy but the classic mode is great. Honestly, I've never played Th online so it's not something I'm really interested in. However, once I get better I'll probably try.

Also I paid 39.99 + tax and I have no regrets.
 
I got it today for $29.99 at BB. I say it is worth the $30. It plays a lot like the console ones which is a good thing. Story mode is kind of easy but you still have classic mode and online play.
 
I think it's a pretty cool game. The on-line is cool not so much for playing against other people (I get killed) but for the fact that you can download videos of the top players as well as download new goals once or twice a month. Pretty neat-o IMHO. I paid 40 and haven't regretted it.
 
Best ds game i own, and i have quite a few. if ds only had this title i would still buy it for 129. online is awesome and makes you feel really good about your play. but it gets kind of old when you kick the shit out of people and they instantly leave. anyway, im online with it everyday.
definitely worth whatever price is being asked.

Damn, I was hoping some people would play it on wi-fi (I haven't purchased or played it, but I wanted it kind of for that reason).

Anyway, why did they launch it at $40 anyway?
 
Damn, DeathDealer brought back a thread from...the dead. You either searched or read a whole lot of pages.

It's $15 at Toys R Us after the $5 gift certificate, if you don't already know.

The WiFi aspect of Tony Hawk DS was never really popular. I think part of the reason is because popular modes like graffiti aren't there. Plus, why play this version online if you have a console version to?

Because third party games can suggest whatever MSRP they want. Unfortunately it didn't sell well, and additionally it's a game that gets continuous sequels which is why it's so cheap. But there's a sequel coming out so we'll see how good that is.

Personally I thought Tony Hawk DS played very well (the manuals don't come out as easily as the console versions though when doing combos) and they took out dumb movies like running. However, I find it difficult sometimes to see when rails to grind. A lot of things look flat but you can actually grind, or sometimes you're grinding on something so thin it's hard to see when the rail actually ends.

Other than that, it's very fluid, looks nice and plays very well.
 
I thought Career was annoyingly easy (they were still asking me to do simple rail grinds halfway through the game,) and the small screen and bad camera controls made Classic unpleasant.
