Was all kinds of geeked up for this remake - why did it fall so flat for me? Somewhere around the fifth or sixth hour of collecting S-K-A-T-E two minutes at a time and chaining reverts and manuals together, not only was the nostalgic sugar rush long gone, but I was beginning to wonder if single-player Tony Hawk had always been such a grind to progress through. (No pun intended!) I guess what I liked about these games at twelve were the moon physics and playing as Spider-Man or something. Obviously I'm growing older all the time, but sadly this did not make me feel younger in my mind!
