The Hawk has landed again. Is the eighth time a charm?

As, always, Mr. Hawk's party is a multi platform affair. With the next generation consoles ready to burst onto the scene, the PS2 version shows as the runt of the Project 8 litter. The PS2's weakening graphical capabilities makes the in-game cinemas look as pixilated as watching TV through a screen door. Focus mode is ridiculously foggy, and the low res cinemas look cheaply bootlegged from the Xbox 360. If you can't afford half a grand to sink into a new console, fear not, as it's a minor gripe that doesn't hinder gameplay.

But something is amiss in the PS2 version. Apparently, someone has decided that those wanting to Create-A-Park/Trick/Skater or access Online Play will only want to do it on Xbox 360, cause they’re gone, kids. Kind of kick to the face for longtime fans; removing features is no way for the proud Hawk dynasty to take its bow onPS2 - and it’s rude.
