I think my problem with Tony Hawk is the theme, not the game. I just can't picture myself playing a skateboarding game, because I've seen far too many skateboarders with the IQ of dental floss.
(You know the ones -- there are probably half-a-dozen in your neighborhood, too. They hang out on street corners, jumping up and down on their boards viciously, jamming them into the curbs, and that's ALL THEY DO. No tricks, no ramps, no using them to get somewhere, just flailing and jumping on their boards in an apparent attempt to break them in half.)
Vehicular stunts? I'll take GTA3. Instead of intricate skateboard tricks, I can drive an ice cream van off the top of a parking garage, do a flip and a rotation in mid-air, and land it squarely on top of a granny crossing the street. And THEN get out of the car and pick up the money she dropped. Now, THAT'S COMEDY!
