As of 2007, Activision finally has some competition in the realm of skateboarding games from EA's skate. It's just as well then, that Activision has overhauled the basic formula of the franchise and created what it promises is the deepest game in the series yet with Proving Ground.

In Proving Ground, players will have some big choices to make. You'll have a choice of three routes to go down. As a hardcore skater, you'll be tasked with having a more traditional Tony Hawk experience, seeking out the best spots to push your skills to the limit. As a career skater, players will have to go out there and make a name for themselves to get sponsorship, enter competitions and make their fortune. As a rigger, it's all about D.I.Y.; putting together crazy set-ups to reform the terrain and push the limits of what you thought was possible.

Proving Ground also offers up more opportunity to generate your own content and customise your game than ever before. Players can grab and edit their own videos to share with their mates, with options like creating their own soundtracks to sweeten the deal.

'Tony Hawk's Proving Ground Very Poor

thornton2k from from Darlington, 19th October, 2008

I was going to get this game last year when it was realised but didn't I got Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion GotY instead and after playing that through for like 2 month solid I forgot about Tony Hawk's Proving Ground so i decided to rent it. Now I am a big fan of Tony Hawk games I got from the original through to American Wasteland I just not played Project 8 and they were all great. What a huge disappointment Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is. Story line is boring, very short and just ends it leaves you feeling like ohhh is that the end now what. I finished it in just over a day, Create a skater is very limited, unlockables are rubbish, controls off your board are terrible. The only good thing about this game is nail the trick/grad/manual which is awesome but soon gets boring. Okay rental title if your a huge Tony Hawk fan but equally disappointing if you are
