Tony Hawk Wii Review

Well... I'll wait till a review is out on a site that doesn't have its web server maxed out already ;)

I definitely wouldn't expect that sort of score to hold up, but we'll see.

Agreed. Though, this could end up being the best game you didn't care about at first at launch (especially with the mediocre to shitty reviews of Project 8).
 
Like you guys said, the reviews for this game are bound to be mid-range...but I don't disregard the opinion of whomever wrote this review, simply because I think there might be a significant portion of the population that will get a 9.2's worth of an experience out of a game like this. It looks like it's going to be a blast...not the type of game that would generally garner awesome reviews from pros, but the type that could be a great game for a lot of people.

Project 8 is awesome, reviewers just have a stick up their ass. I don't trust online sites to review any Tony Hawk game espically since most of them gave THUG 1 and 2 8's and 9's.
 
this actually sounds a lot better than I thought it would be. i think people will give it an 8 or 8.5ish at other sites. it'll be worth a rent for sure.

I'll just put these in here for now, even though the site is still dead:

Call of Duty 3 - 83
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=743014
Pros:

  • New physics engine spreads debris in the environment
  • Unique control scheme changes the game
  • Widescreen support
Cons:

  • Debris can occasionally cause you to get stuck
  • Voice work is sub-par and laughable in parts
  • AI can become braindead
  • Pacing of the game can make the game feel scripted
  • Loss of the multiplayer really hurts
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance - 86
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=743015
Pros:
  • Framerate is locked in
  • Decent visuals with good lighting
  • Create your own team, or chose from 22+ heroes
  • Gear is less important now, keeping the pace moving
  • Fastest load times of ANY platform
  • Multiplayer is a blast, even if only local
  • Two exclusive characters for all Next-Gen platforms
Cons:
  • Occasional non-impacting graphic bugs
  • A few sound hitches
  • Waiting for respawn…
  • No online play
 
I'm suprised by Ultimate Alliance, previews for that game were not so hot. The tilting camera control seems odd though. Hopefully other reviewers agree with this site. It would be great to have a good coop game at launch.
 
[quote name='jkam']Basically after I watched the Target DVD I thought this game looked like a lot of fun. I really like the graphically style. Kind of like a Saturday Morning cartoon but with good animations. I'm hoping this review holds some weight because my interest has peaked for this.[/QUOTE]

Yeah after watching the DVD my interst in this went from a renter to a possible day 1 buy. With Excite Truck getting mediocre scores, this might have to fill my racing needs.
 
[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']Hmmm, It's nice to see Marvel: UA for the Wii might be worth getting.[/quote]

Yeah it's nice, but one more fucking game to get, that would bring the list up to around 13 games that I want and I can only get 3 at launch...
