Tony Hawk's Proving Ground tries to expand the series' appeal with customization and open world-like environments, but it ultimately stumbles. The career mode feels unstructured and tedious, while new gameplay mechanics like "Nail the Trick" are awkwardly integrated. On the Wii specifically, the motion controls are frustratingly imprecise, hindering enjoyment. Although Proving Ground boasts a few interesting ideas, it lacks the addictive, polished gameplay that made past Tony Hawk titles so beloved.
