Like in most games in the series, the player can do skateboarding tricks and grinds to boost their score while skating around the levels. There are also objectives in the game that the player can do to unlock new areas.

In the Downhill Challenge mode, players control either Tony Hawk or Kevin Staab. They compete around the world in a series of events such as racing and seeing who can achieve more points from tricks.

Reception

The game was given mixed reviews by game critics. Critics said that they liked the visuals and that there was the ability to play online. However, they also said that they found it difficult to play against three other players and that the game was buggy. The controls were also criticized for not being adapted well in the downhill mode.
