It's definitely my favourite Tony Hawk game on 7th gen consoles. It's not as goofy as the old ones, but after American Wasteland, I couldn't stand that any longer. Still very satisfying gameplay and mission design. Nail-the-Trick is a cool new feature, although a bit underused IMO. That's one thing Proving Ground actually did better. Though it's still pretty optional. Visually it was a phenomenal looking game at the time (2006).
The 7th gen version is also far superior to the 6th gen versions. At least there's a big difference on Metacritic.

Ya know one thing the 7th gen has in common with the 6th gen version of it... on the playstation 3 anyway?

No fucking trophy support in the game at all, had to look it up before remembering that some of the earlier ps3 titles didn't get trophies, very strange since this was on the x360 too and would have had them there, not a bad tony hawk game though... was playing it most of yesterday, broke out my ps3 and played that and the appalingly bad Star Trek game all night.

Considering the cheap price of it though, I might well go and find a X360 copy before going to 100% it... cos ya know... I'm a whore that way.

I would be impressed to see that as the game isn't easy at all to fully complete.
