Ok. I loved THPS 1-4 for the crazy combos and the fact it was my first experience with behind the skater 3d world game (remember BAD'n'Rad sede scroller on the Game Boy?)! However since playing skate simulation is way more fun. It will be fun to replay some of the old levels, but I think they have missed a trick by not making a new game that caters to arcade and simulation fans alike.
Proving ground had the sim mode, but the awful animaiton and control system ruined it a little. Plus the replay editor had a couple of good functions but still wasn't great.
I'll still be buying this though, just for fun of it.
