Where Is Our Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Review?

It's been a long wait for the return of the mainline Tony Hawk video game franchise, and it's going to be a little longer before we render our final verdict on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5.

The game promises to take us back to the series' bread-and-butter, trick-based skating gameplay. We're excited to get back on our board, but publisher Activision did not sent out review code in advance of the game's release, which is today.

THPS 5 will also be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 10 at a cheaper price, but this downloadable-only version does not feature online play.
