Pro Skater 5 doesn’t even come close to the content or replay value found within its predecessors. Pro Skater’s past has been all about content, massive amounts of glorious content. Collecting the words “skate” and “combo” isn’t original, nabbing a VHS tape is no longer cool since I haven’t used one in probably ten years, and busting out predictable combination-lines is nowhere near what it use to be. I would have been a little less disappointed with the replay value, let alone the entire game, if the game were presented as a Pro Skater 1 remake, because that’s exactly how it feels. Yes, I understand this has been the Pro Skater format since day one, but at least give us some variety and a storyline or a reason to complete these challenges. However, almost all of the missions are presented in a rinse and repeat format - the only difference is the setting in which you bang out these challenges. The replay value initially seems to be rather robust with 8 environments, 80 different challenges, 10 pro skaters to choose from (including Lil’ Wayne for some reason), and the ability to simultaneously play with 20 players online. The only quarrel I have with the music department is the lack of in-game sounds for particular actions such as ollieing, kickflipping, and wiping out- they're completely nonexistent. The cool aspect about the music chosen is that it doesn’t overpower the intended gaming experience and offers a good variety of bands that synch well together.
