These Screenshots and GIFs Show How Broken Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 Really Is

By Jonathan Leack

The jury is still out on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, but early impressions don't paint it in a positive light. We had a feeling something was wrong when the game looked stale in pre-release media, and review copies were saved until launch day. Now, social media is abuzz with frustration and a dash of resentment for how the franchise has made a tumbling turn for the worst since Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4's 2002 release.

 

During the past 24 hours thousands of hopeful Tony Hawk's Pro Skater fans have shared one thing in common: a buggy experience.
