Interstate MAG

Yes this is the new tony hawk video game and yes its still got the same gameplay as the others but in this one you can skate in my hometown Baltimore and DC, and you can also customize your skater to wear a charmcity skatepark (my home park) shirt or hat.
Thats right, CHARMCITY IS IN THE NEW TONY HAWK VIDEO GAME.
If you have played skate then your probally not gonna be that impressed with this game but its still fun and the levels are amazing.You bascially start off in inner city philly and do your basic tony hawk challenges with a few new ones and if you clear enough of the objectives you move on.After philly yo go to downtown baltimore which is pretty fun but wheres legg mason at,cmon.After that you head over to the inner harbor and skate around there for awile.The harbor level is good and its probally one of my favorites.You can skate the orange flatbars and all around the harbor and even do some tricks into the dirty harbor water if you want.
After you clear enough there you go back to philly but this time your downtown.Yes you can skate LOVE and its surrounding areas although they once again changed the LOVE sign to THPS(tony hawks pro skater) but whatever.Next up is freedom plaza and i gotta say they did a pretty crappy job with this level.Freedom plaza is nothing like that and where the hell is gold rail at.Probally my least favorite level.Next up is the national mall in DC and this one is really fun and some of they objectives are interesting.

For the sake of productivity around here we haven’t gotten our hands on EA’s Skate just yet, but are looking forward to checking out this ambitious challenger to the Tony Hawk franchise of games.
