So with this patch and with what they have done from the time the game first came out is this game now worth getting at all? I love tony hawk games threw American wasteland with tony hawk 4 being the best but after waste land tony hawks games really sucked and it sounded like from reviews of this game it was really bad like all time bad.

Still probably not worth it. This game looks more less designed for an iPad

lol really that bad? While I know right now the game is on sale for $25 but I still don't want to get it and hate it because I hate wasting money. I know the patch was going to make the graphics better or at least that was said but I have not seen any sort of comparison from before and after of what the game looks like.

I bought this day 1 - it is a pretty fun game. The patch did fix some things as well. You can get this game pretty cheap now. I honestly wasn't upset paying full price.

The only positive change I've seen with this patch is the option to remap the slam button as a double tap of triangle.

The framerate is still PS1 quality. The physics and camera still freak out too often. The two new environments are uninspired and the missions just rehash the same stale objectives from the rest of the game. THPS 5 still isn't any fun to play at all.

You're better off buying THPS 1 through THUG 1, OlliOlli 1 + 2, or the Skate trilogy if you want to play a skateboarding game.

Just got this today. Finished the tutorial and have been trying to load the first level for a while now. It won't launch for some reason. It just endlessly plays the loading screen. Anyone heard of this issue?

Hmmm. I'm assuming it must be the update because I got no prompt to download it. When I check for update it says that it's already up to date.

*edit*

Yeah, I have version 1.00. Hmm. Never dealt with anything like this before.
