This one is a little odd to review, consider the two versions (Xbox/PS2/PSP vs. X360/PS3) are of such different quality.
The short answer; if you want to play this game, get the 6th generation version. The levels aren't really built well for that version (as they are now instanced areas vs. a interconnected open world), but the skating engine is a million times better, and they don't have the awful ragdoll missions.
Ultimately, the game really isn't that good no matter what version you get. You can tell Neversoft (and the various satellite studios porting the titles) were really running out of steam at this point, having pumped out 8 titles in 7 years, not including the the handheld variants. The cracks in the formula really started to show with this entry, though I don't think it really fell apart until Proving Ground.
Project 8 can still be a fun time, but it's definitely not the first game in the series you should be reaching for, or the second, or the third, or the fourth...
