please stop with this lame internet argument,...
i have thaw, and i love it,... i've played all the tony hawk games, and so there was no reason i'd skip this one,... yes, the graphics aren't very "next gen".... but tony hawks not really bout the graphics anyways,.....
now, to your question, i've had fun on live,.... i don't think it's any different than what there was before (i never had live before thaw)... but it's got all the multiplayer things like straight up trick attack,... or graffitti, or highest combo (that one is fun),... elimanoter thingy is fun (the lowest score after a given time gets elimanated til there's one left),..... king of the hill is funny and fun... but can get old,.... and other stuff too,... and you can play on any of the individual levels from the game,... you can't go from hollywood to beverly hills without quiting... so it's only one "level" at a time
but the bottom line is this,... if you are a fan of the series and don't already have this game for an older system then i don't see a reason why you shouldn't buy thisgame,..... it's nothing crazily new,... but its tony hawk, these games areconsistently good,....
