Everyones' favourite pro skater is back...but not in a Pro Skater game! More inside.

Instead of continuing the successful Pro Skater series, developers Neversoft have decided to create an entirely new Tony Hawks game, namely Tony Hawk's Underground.

This time Neversoft are making the game more story-orientated, in which you have to work your way from a novice to a skating pro, with cut-scenes linking parts of the story together. This time, however, you will be able to step off your board, giving the game a sort of action-adventure element. This will be more than just a gimmick though, as you will be able to run around areas that you are unable to skate on, as well as climb up pipes, across ledges, and even onto roofs, and at one point you even get to steal and drive a car, so the game will have a more varied blend of genres than the previous Hawk's games.

You will also be able to create your own skate parks, and tweak nearly every detail-for example, where items are placed, even the time of day it is set at, which gives Neversoft a chance to show off some cool lighting effects.

There will also be a large variety of places sto skate-even indoors! This is looking very, very promising...

Tony Hawk's Underground is being released this autumn. And if it's anywhere near as good as it sounds, it's gonna be bloody brilliant.
