About

Tony Hawk's Project 8, officially abbreviated as THP8, is a skateboarding video game, the eighth installment in the Tony Hawk's series. It was released on PlayStation 2, Xbox (Shaba Games) and PSP (Page 44 Studios) - a next-gen version was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 (by Neversoft). In addition to running at 60fps, this sixth gen version differs by not featuring the interconnected levels, as you select each level from a menu. The game begins in the custom skater's hometown in surburbia. After breaking out into the main streets, a team is created by Tony Hawk. The team is called Project 8 and comprises eight skaters. The player character starts ranked 200th and by completing challenges and goals, it will improve his ranking constantly.
