Tony Hawk's Skate Jam (2020 Edition) Review | Better or Worse than THPS5?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- OK, I finally dove into the first post-Activision Tony Hawk game - Tony Hawk's Skate Jam. It's essentially Skateboard Party if you're familiar with that... but it should be better right? How bad can it be? Let's take a look.

When the game was released, the ollies were pretty low which felt weird for a TH game but it worked because the levels were designed with that lower ollie in mind. Two months or so after release, they updated the game and boosted the ollie way too much which basically made the game impossible to play as the levels were designed around the original ollie height, and now you just ollied over everything whether you want to or not.
My therapist: Angry rad rat doesn't exist he can't hurt you
Angry rad rat : 13:18
yeah i was like
O_O
and then
^_^
can add some fews to my best of/funny scenes of rad rad :D
♕TyonorShapz C7TJFVB7-CAZ [★Your No.1 Instrumentalz/Rap Archive] a best of rad would be awesome
♕TyonorShapz C7TJFVB7-CAZ [★Your No.1 Instrumentalz/Rap Archive] i was thinking of making one of these lol. hows yours coming? will you be uploading it?
Disappointed he doesnt show more personality like that more often
never seen you mad before, man... and then Tony Hawk took your 54k point combo. i'm shook up
We love you RadRat. Keep doing what you do. Skateboarding needs you.
Your RUclips ad placement made me laugh
Thank god i use ad block
The only good thing about THPS5 was that it had new building materials for custom skateparks and you could tweak the location of said objects a lot more. The downside on my XBOX 360 was that when I would save a park I created it would create two files of it and if I opened either one the character would be stuck in an object bouncing back and forth.
My favorite thing about the Tony Hawk games was building my own parks and THPS5 had the new stuff I was looking for, it would have been close to perfect for me aside of the previously mentioned flaw as well as a location not being able to hold enough stuff and one other detail I can't remember, it's been awhile since I played it.
If I had to choose between thps5 or tony hawk skate jam. I would pick thps5
@@G.Freeman92 they both stuck donkey scrotum. Thps3 or just thugpro
Skate jam uses the skateboard party engine so it's all the same just with a different name and different clothes
@@G.Freeman92 just pirate the pc games, they are pretty well abandonware
@@G.Freeman92 you're really missing out, hd and 5 feel like garbage in comparison to games like 3 and THUG
@@G.Freeman92 tried skater xl? Pretty fun too. Bit more arcadey than session
Honestly the game isn’t bad for a mobile game IMO, if they fix a couple things here and there I think it would feel like a THPS for your phone
I bought Wakeboarding Unleashed for the Ps2 today at a thrift store. It's actually pretty fun and more or less follows the pro skater template. I thought it would be a good game for you to review for the channel. It's not a perfect game but it's fun and I think it's better than some of the other games you've reviewed lol.
Got that one from the bargain bin. Back around 3 or 4 .
@6:50 actually.. that's probably not tin foil hat stuff at all, as typically mobile game statistics are being analysed to figure out the 'player patience' with a system that's really designed around making them (more) money. That's the business model with free to play. There are hardly any free to play games that don't mess with the player experience to encourage you to either spend money or watch ads. Unfortunately... mobile games like this are pretty bad in that sense.
There's an entire video of a business man admitting that's the kinda shit they pull as a presentation to other business men.
The only mobile game I've come into contact with that doesnt butcher gameplay with ads n energy is COD. Yeah there's loot boxes n pay-to-look-snazzy appeal, but those dont get in the way. U can play without the need to spend a penny
Number 1 thing that matters in a Skate game, controls. In this game its almost impossible to even Ollie where you want to.
I only remember THPS2 having one game breaking bug, but it only happened seldomly. I have no idea what triggered it, but you essentially bail and just get stuck sliding around like the game forgot to make you stand up. But you can’t control yourself at all either.
look;
you got 10-20 developers working on thug pro who know pro skater inside and outside. Get them a budget and make a game that doesn't suck.
The thing with skate jam is that everything that is in it is from the 3 skateboard party game, the level are exactly the same, the character are the same etc.
Seeing this video reminds me of how freaking ANGRY I was with this stupid game when it came out. As bad as it was for you, it's SOOO much worse on a small touch screen.
Hey man, I can totally understand your feelings about this game. I've beaten it about a year ago when it was released for Android (iOS version came out earlier back in 2018). Normally I don't play any mobile games, as a hardcore gamer I play on pc and consoles and never viewed mobile games as smth worth my attention. But as a huge TH fan I tried Skate Jam and it had me playing it for about a month
So, first thing I'd like to mention is the tutorial. I was confused by this Hawk meter task too, but in reality all you have to do once you fill it is press this Hawk icon. Too bad the game doesn't explain it. It works the same way as Special in THUG2, sending your character into some slow-mo state and giving you chance to rack up big scores. You can literally score up to million points and even more in this Hawk mode. Your character for a short period of time BECOMES Tony himself, so you can make huge combos riding like a pro. It really helps on later stages
Second thing is related to emulation. I've beaten the game on my phone, but I wanted to check if I can get it running on pc. So I got an emulator called Tencent Gaming Buddy. It is quite famous due to the fact that many Asian gamers prefer playing PUBG Mobile on pc.
So I downloaded both the emulator and the game and it worked pretty fine, had no any problems with sound and never had any issues about suddenly switching from windowed to full screen modes.
Yes, I admit, the game is built to be a time sink with all those boosters, timers, in-app purchases and ads. But it's done neatly and isn't forcing you too much to use them. I never bought a thing there. My goal was to beat all the tournaments which I achieved.
The main impression from the game for me was that it felt kinda like THPS1 with all those limitations in terms of trick variety. Throughout the years classic Tony Hawk game formula got so complicated that it was difficult to imagine how it would play without some things you already consider indispensable. And also I liked level design, the way stages looked, but, unfortunately, often got myself stuck in geometry too
P.S. still never played any mobile game after beating Skate Jam :)
Even though I don't plan on playing the game, this was a very insightful comment, thanks for the info :)
Stopped reading at "aS a HaRDCoRe GaMeR"
Decided to download the game while watching the video cause I wasnt aware it's a free to play. So you can definitely beat the tutorial. You just have to tap the hawk meter when it's full lol. So not sure if it was possible while using the emulator. I mean games meh. But like you said, it doesnt really improve on anything we havent already played. As always, great video.
I see those eyes. Rad rat smokes the good shit 😎
Steven Schipinski definitely
@@carlozzz8564 Yeah. It's called "working in front of a computer screen all day".
@donnie ka you misspelled weed
Donnie Ka 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Downloaded a playstation emulator on my phone and installed Thrashers skate and destroy. Best mobile skate game hands down.
Witch one
The soundtrack for that game is dope too. King of Rock!
What PlayStation emulator and what phone?
@@fastinradfordable any phone and it's call epsxe but u have to pay for it or u can get a apk
I had it on PS1 and I remember not even being able to move forward or even Ollie
you are normally so calm in your videos that hearing you scream is hilarious for me
Hey, would the shotgun mic you use work ok as a desktop mic? Or more for post processing and video making. I'd really appreciate a reply I was just curious because it sounds really good for the price
the firsy tony haek game on the ps1 is much more fun and balanced than this.
also, this is probably the first time i saw radrat in a pissed off state.
@@BigGainer98 yeah
Me, before this video: I like Rad Rat. He's chill and never gets angry, just disappointed.
Me, after this video: I fear for my life. He's out there somewhere.
Your suppose to tap the hawk meter when it's full, thats why you never completed the tutorial.
*you're
you should review the tony hawk games on the nintendo DS! I had so much fun with them, i have lots of good memories with them. :D
Skateland wasn't all that shitty . the other one was . proving grounds maybe .
“Now I just have to watch an ad before I can start over” *Inserts ad. I see you Rad Rat.
I played this game for a while last year and then gave up on it. Seemed cool at first then it just gets ridiculously glitchy.
It's just skateboard part 1, 2, and 3.
But worse.
Of course it worse as it has no effort when it's a bundle of the previous games so they hate you thinking you wouldn't figure it out.
What is skateboard 3
Hey I had a pair of trucks called zrollers back in the day u should see what u cant find out about em. My shop sponsor gave em to me they were part of his collection. They basically had roller on the truck that allowed you to "grind" anything. Ofc I tore em up like a dummy.
I thought the jams were the easiest part of the game. Trying to bounce around the do the real goals were the worst. I also played on pc through emulator. Very frustrating how you can get the other skate party games through Xbox for windows but not this one
I just learned skating!!!
For the tutorial don’t you just press the meter and it activates?
If you think this game is bad search up Lazy Game Reviews' video on Extreme Boards & Blades & Tony Hawk's Skate Jam looks like THPS2 on Dreamcast in comparison
Thps1 and 2 on dreamcast make me wet
sega saturn graphics with atari 2600 gameplay, nice
Hey Aaron hope you're doing well! Love your vids brother 👊🏻
13:07 my favorite part
Another great video. Thanks RR!
When the eagle Turn full that's means that you could turn to Tony Hawk
This game is the same as Mike Vallley's Skateboard Party. Skateparty has no adds. To get high combos you have to get in a tight ramp and or hop in the moddle of the ramp to keep the combo going. Doing a lot of kick flip to grab spins helps build up your score. The games playable on android from google play.
... is this just MTV Skateboarding? It looks a lot like MTV Skateboarding.
In other news, so glad Skater XL is headed to PS4. Finally!
switch and xbox 1 too!
i went to go try this game and his name is no longer attached an im ok with that
Use nox app player radrat. I had bluestacks and had a alto of issues after a month or so. Nox uses less CPU and just all around runs smoother for me...just a suggestion to try out
Yeah I played that last year in 2019 and it’s pretty fun..but the missions can be pretty hard. It’s also a pay-to-win. It’s a decent game overall though but gets boring quick
It's absolutely not a decent game at all. Have you never played any of the actual decent games in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series?!
PHeMoX You can’t compare this to a Pro Skater game lol
@@claysoggyfries Get better standards, man.
Fuck man, 13:14 to 13:30 was comedy gold! I could not stop laughing
Ik im gonna get hate for a opinion in 2020 but i like pro skater 5 i think its fun
Yes
You were supposed to touch the hawk meter icon then you would turn into Tony hawk
I've been waiting for this one for a while
This is why I play True Skate. To me it’s the best skate sim as your thumbs are your feet and it’s feels realistic. I mean hell I’ve liked it so much ive boughten every park and played it for the past four years. Since playing it tbh I’ve been turned off from other skate games cause I love how this works so much. I sound like a douchebag as guy (sorry) but I do enjoy it. Working on an edit that I’ve been working on since September of last year that should be uploaded hopefully this month to my channel I do have some clips I ripped raw from that edit to my channel if ya wanna some dope stuff. Theirs also two True Skate groups on Facebook you should join that are pretty dope. I think their the only two... at least active one lol one has triple digit members and the other has like 30 or close to.
i played this game a couple months ago and i don't remember the tutorial being broken. (i played on iOS, maybe that's why)
Anyway it's just trying to pull money out of your pocket, if you were to buy all in app purchases(outfits, characters, decks etc.) you would spend several hundred $'s for a bunch of useless stuff. i got all of that for free cause of my jailbroken phone, but if i spent money on this game i would be so pissed off.
It’s an okay game, but buying one of your shirts made me a better player
I knew ur eyes were blue but like... Damn... Right now I'm really looking at them jawns. U kinda cute bro
gay
Tony need tht check 💲💲💲
Yeah, but it's very sad to be honest. The older Tony Hawk Pro Skater games had decent physics that were fun to play with. This mobile game and most recent games for that matter are just plain terrible.
That blitzkrieg pop remix in the background tho!
Bop. Not pop.
I see all the bad games finally getting to you
Skate party for Android is way better it used to have online mode also
Anyone ever told you that you look like Andrew Neeme?
I really wish we had Skate City like apple has but it sucks that it's only exclusive to Apple Arcade we need a good mobile skater
Zusse I played it for a couple months I loved it lol
Wtf kind of ollies are those hahahaha
Pressure ollies
Wanna know how bad this one is? It’s literally just Skateboard Party.
Looks like it came out in 2006
Project 8 looks better than this!
Lol
This game is much better than THPS5. You can beat it without spending a penny, and even if you spent _some_ money on it to make it less frustrating, you still wind up paying less than what Activision charges you for their pathetic joke of a "game." Plus, unlike THPS5, people actually PLAY Skate Jam to this day!
What's it going to be? A 60 dollar game with dead servers that you need a huge patch to even play properly, or a mediocre mobile game?
In another review they mention how the levels in this game are stolen from Skateboard Party, which is really scummy, but it still doesn't compare to what Activision did.
"Pero...,Qué díces???"
Punished Rad Rat
You uhhh.. look like you've been hitting the Percocet a little hard, big homie.
Been there. Broke my foot on a 3 stair when I was 13 lol. Hospital gave me a bottle of Vicodin and it was over for the next 10 years
Need THAW 2 😫😫😫😫😫😫
No
A mediocre game got destroyed by typical microtransaction nonsense. Nah, it's a pass for me at that point. Free to play or not. At that point I prefer spending $10-25 bucks instead and just have proper access to everything. Although, to be fair, this game isn't remotely close to the older THPS games that played well. Disappointing stuff. Even though I'm good with games like Session and Skater XL for now.
RadRat: I wanna get that highscore!
Game: Bouncy bouncy, you're gonna crash until you pay me cash!
I doubted radrats legitamisy at first, but he's the real deal. 🤙
Would be cool if he could atleast reply or like some comments tho lol
50k subs isn't too much to stay involved with your fans broski haha
Things to change and fix Tony Hawk's Skate Jam since it's pretty much a rebranded Skateboard Party game
1. Retitle it "Skateboard Party 4 ft: Tony Hawk
2. Have free mode already an option without having to unlock
3. Add a couple of new features or a couple of new tricks
4. Make new parks to skate and maybe add in a park or two from the original games
5. Dont have it built on ads
This game really looks slow and the ollies look super high. And you address it eventually. But it really looked wrong right from the start.
These games are Satan.
Skate City is one of the two games that keep me subscribed to Apple Arcade. It’s a really good mobile format for a skateboarding game, unfortunately it’s only available through Apple Arcade
Theres literally 3 different games with the same maps and controls😂
THPS5 is great.
Meh skateboard party 3 is better
I do not thin kI have ever seen you so mad at a review of a game. More feeling, makes it authentic. Comedy.
that beach level looks exactly like from another skateboard handy game probably the same developer but if so pretty lazy
THPS 5 never worked it would crash every time on PS4. It wasn’t only a cash grab, it’s also defamation of character for Tony. I contacted Sony to delist the game because it literally never worked and thus Activision literally stole my money, it pisses me off till this day.
OMG
Skate jam doesn't just share designs with skateboard party, it straight up copies every level
It doesn’t just reuse level designs it literally straight up reuses entire levels from all of the games, none of them are original to the game. Literally the other original part is the music and Tony’s character model. And they even made the game worse. The original game allowed you to free skate the levels as soon as unlocked, but in this one you have to 100% the level to free skate.
Uu
Its so sad that this is exactly skate party 3 but with tony hawk, more ads, bigger ollies and a load of crap.... I've been playing skate party 3 on my pc and its pretty decent
thank the best devs for making thug pro!
good review. mobile gaming really needs a different title at this point. it's not gaming, it's gambling with a mini game. it's 95% gimmick 5% you controlling something on the screen. want to shoot something? buy the gun..want a sword? buy one...getting killed too quickly? buy armor. And even worse, actual console and pc games are copying the trend. just put out good, finished games from the start.
This game is trash, it's pretty much Skateboard Party Trilogy with so many ads, microtransactions, added glitches, added nonsense the original skateboard party games didn't have. These are the exact same levels, tricks and character models from the first 3 Skateboard Party games but with more glitches. At least the first 3 games weren't bombarded with Ads and DLC, Microtransactions that required real money. It was like THPS 1 and 2. You get a set of level goals, you collect letters, hidden icons for new boards and hardware, get high scores, You would get experience points to level up the stats for your character and to buy new boards and hardware. You did have an *optional* video ad to double the points. No fans, no enter a skate jam, no play to play boosts, no tutorial (had free skate mode), no expensive package deals, no nonsense. The first 3 games are straight forward and fun. I have all of them and actually beat them all.
pole
This game is worse than Skateboard Party 1,2,3. This game is like all 3 games mashed together - characters, levels, assets and all with extra bugs and buggy level up "freemium" DLC features that weren't in the first 3 games. Also I have the Windows Phone versions of Skateboard Party and they don't have Ads at all. This game just has so much DLC pay to play features and unnecessary things like getting fans, lvl ups, buy this and that that make the game unplayable and it's all sloppy put together. Some of those bugs you are showing and lame features, I never experienced and they aren't in the Skateboard Party series. In fact I beat all 3 games.
Rad rat is rad wrecked
I knew people thought TH5 was bad, but if it is worse than that mobile game you just played. I'll just replay the old ones
Aron looks stoned
I haven't played THPS5, but I can't imagine any skate game being worse than Skate Jam. It's sooooo bad.
I find the mobile model much more disrespectful than thps5 model. at least you can beat that game without scummy pay2win garbage.
THPS5 took the biggest diarrhea splatter on an Excellent Game Franchise and Skate Jam is just a mobile Game.
Tony Hawk let us down again.
Its sad that people chalk up rational thinking n common sense to "conspiracy talk"
No.
C'mon, the times of Tony Hawk games are over since more the a decade.
Absolutely not
Tony hawk 5 is better than this game
Trash. Its a carbon copy of some other mobile game.
