Has there ever been an earlier foreshadowing in a broken game of what is to come? Activision and developer Robomodo's logos, the first things you see in the game, frequently stammer on load. While the sight of an aging Tony Hawk phasing stoically through various pieces of masonry is often humorous, not every glitch is suitable for the You've Been Framed treatment. Find a short rail positioned between two walls and, if you keep the grind button held down, your skater may ping-pong automatically between the obstacles, racking up a stratospheric combo with each flopping rebound. It's as if the shot was directed by a mildly distracted editor who notices an awful accident occurring on-screen slightly too late to pan away, but just in time to save the audience from the distress of seeing someone break their neck. Strike a half-pipe at the wrong angle and your character's body may cartwheel through the air in majestic slow motion, before the game jump-cuts jarringly back to the action. Bail from a grind and your skater might, on hitting the ground, disappear up to his neck in solid concrete. This, the fifth game in a series that debuted in 1999, is broken in similar kinds of ways. Availability: Also available on PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3Īctivision may be hoping that Tony Hawks 5 repeats its old rival's trick.
