last one I played was Tony Hawk: Project 8 which was pretty fun but had an absolutely retarded endgame. You had to basically perfect every challenge in the game to actually beat it. I think I made it up to like #5 and then trashed the game because it wasn't fun anymore.

Same here. Have there been any good skateboarding games since?

I keep my opinions on various video game genres open in a notepad doc on my computer. My palms were almost too sweaty to grip the mouse, but I made it.

I really liked THUG1.

Also, this was a thing and was actually pretty good.

thrasher: skate and destroy was hilarious

it had ragdolls before the ps1 could handle them so it ran at like 5fps and whenever you finished an area on time, you had the option of staying and running from a cop with a taser for bonus points but he was really fast

I liked playing THUG 2, but that was because it was different from the other Tony Hawk games at the time. :shrug:

I liked American Wasteland because it was aware of how awful it was, and the custom skate park was neat.

The old guy who teaches you to do the slomo thing tells you that you must grind a freeway sign over a busy street to learn the last lesson and when you do it, a bunch of cars blow up and he says something like "Holy poo poo, why would you really do that? I'm getting out of here before the cops come" and you never see him again

the parkour was fun

there was a section where you have to out-flatland a celebrity and the reason he's there is because they won't let him leave and he hasn't figured out how to get away

I just remember making an all spike level and enabling fly mode with friends, and then we would just zoom around like neo and joust into each other.

I'm going to use this thread to talk about snowboarding games too.

SSX3 was probably the best of the bunch because you could start at the top of the mountain, put some music on, and spend the next 30 minutes busting tricks and grinding pipes on your way to the bottom with no loading screens.

SSX that came out a few years ago had some really terrible tracks but also some really good ones and the multiplayer was pretty cool.

Considering I rewatched the first three seasons of Viva La Bam last year I agree. That poo poo was cool/funny when I was in middle school. Now it's just sad.

I think my favorite was one of the TH;Underground games. Im pretty sure I used a gameshark to unlock everything and give me moonjump so I could scale buildings and explore areas that I wasn't supposed to see.

Good times.

On PS2 the online community was pretty sick. Everyone had gamesharks and shared codes on this one guys .tk website. I remember making a few custom maps with gaps that would freeze peoples ps2s because the name was well beyond the character limits. Also being able to air shuffle was sick

THPS3 and THUG were the best games hands-down and I dunno how anyone can disagree honestly.

THPS3 is the best game.
Skate 3 is the best game that actually resembles skateboarding.
X Games Pro Boarder is the best snowboard game. (Prob not really, just had rad levels and a rad soundtrack)
