Demo: Tony Hawk Project 8
Now on Marketplace for all Xbox Live members except those in Asia. Features Reengineered from the ground up for Xbox 360™, Tony Hawk’s Project 8™ will give gamers the ultimate skateboarding experience. Project 8 continues the definitive skating series with ultra-realistic graphics, enhanced physics, and new super-responsive controls that put you in complete control of every trick and bail. Face off against some of the world's top pro skaters and feel the intensity and pressure of true life competitions. Build your career as the world's top skater, and establish your home town as a skating destination. With non-stop skating action in a free-roaming, living environment, Tony Hawk’s Project 8incorporates the series’ most popular features, all enhanced for next-gen technology. Enter a massive world: Tony Hawk’s Project 8 offers more goals, side-missions, secret areas, and mini games than any other Tony Hawk game. Track stats with new in-game record keeping, switch characters mid-game to accomplish a goal, or just skate how you want to skate. Impress the locals: For the first time ever, impress the in-game citizenry to gain respect. Pedestrians will gather to watch you show off, and react according to your performance. They applaud your successes, but they also laugh at your bails or punch you for running into them. Experience all new gameplay: Interact with pro skaters who will teach you special tricks or show you secret paths. Try to keep up with a cameraman and follow his instructions. Move ramps and rails around inside levels to set up sick tricks or reach secret areas. Watch yourself on camera through picture-in-picture technology. Take complete control: With an all new physics system, Project 8 now allows you to push your grinds to the limit, while minimizing damage from bails by controlling your fall. Or you can abuse the ragdoll bail mode and see just how much damage your skater can take. Gravity and momentum are more present and realistic, and combine to give you the most realistic skate ever.Source: http://www.xbox.com
