OWR: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Welcome to One Word Review, GamerNode's unique take on videogame critique. Every Sunday, we will present a single game, reviewed with but a single word from each of a handful of reviewers. You may not always find our words in your standard dictionary, but we have faith that you will catch our meaning, nonetheless. Videogames are so often rated, reviewed, and discussed to exhaustion, so while some may call OWR a creative way to be lazy, we call it succinct, sincere...and fun. We love reader input at GN, so be sure to throw your own OWRs in the comments section, too.

Before getting down to business, GamerNode would first like to thank everyone for participating in the first edition of OWR last week, and we hope you are ready for more unique and fun content of a similar nature in the future. We love to see reader discussion, and aim to bring the community together, rather than just throwing words at you.

This week, many of us at GamerNode have been thinking about the industry's tendency toward sequels, and what it means to gamers when a series is substantially improved upon with each new iteration. One series that always comes to mind when the word "sequel" comes up in conversation is the Tony Hawk series. For better or for worse, these games just keep on coming, so we figured we'd go back to the beginning and tell you how we feel about the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
