"The changes made to the gameplay feel weird and arbitrary, and the levels don't work quite as well when they aren't part of one big world."
--Jeff Gerstmann, GameSpot
"While longtime Tony Hawk fans may be initially turned off by the simplified controls, they'll still likely appreciate the nostalgic feel of the game."
--David Chapman, GameSpy
"If you must play the game on the old Xbox you'll still have a good time; albeit a lonely time."
--Mark Smith, Game Chronicles
"It keeps the solid gameplay and manages to introduce “nail the trick� and focus mode to the mix."
--Jose Liz & Adam Nunez, PGNx Media
"There are more trick-based challenges than ever, but aside from the new slow-motion control, Tony Hawk is skating through the same old territory."
--Eliot Fish, Sydney Morning Herald
"Kind of kick to the face for longtime fans; removing features is no way for the proud Hawk dynasty to take its bow on Xbox - and it's rude."
--Chris Antista, Games Radar
"Project 8 feels like an exhalation, as if Neversoft and Shaba are both saying, "Well, we're tapped out." This isn't to say that the game world has nothing to offer, just that it just feels uninspired."
--Hilary Goldstein, IGN
