Although what you have now available is a demo of the game, the details listed below will help you better understand the game's mechanics and online multiplayer features (among others), prepping you for the launch of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, the full game.

In Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, you create your own story. This authentic skating experience gives you the freedom to truly define your character, story and style, based on the choices you make, the path you select and the styles of skating you choose. In the demo, gamers skate through Philadelphia as they experience new features like the video editor, Nail the Grab, modify the environment and more! The full game will enable you to better explore the entire world and master new skills, of course. Every skater has a story, so by all means, make yourself a name on the streets.

As for the full game's key features...:

Freedom to Play Your Way: Players are now given unprecedented control of their skating experience. They can mold and shape their character however they choose - the choices they make and the paths they travel determine how they evolve as skaters. As gamers progress, they develop into any combination of three skater classes, acquiring attributes and skills of a contest-winning Career Athlete, a fast and furious Hardcore Skater or a creative maverick Rigger, who alters and modifies the world as a giant skatepark.

Create Epic Skate Videos with the Full-Featured Video Editor: Players can capture all of their sickest tricks and bails with Neversoft's new video editor to make their very own skate videos. Command the footage using a full-suite of video editing tools, lens modes, camera angles and effects to cut clips and combine clips, add a personal soundtrack and even showcase online to share with others or simply move up the leaderboard rankings.

Seamless Integration Between Online Multiplayer and Single Player Experience: Gamers can join online multiplayer action anytime directly from the single player story mode and take all of their character's skills, attributes and stats online. Additionally, they can create their own personal Skate Lounge and invite others to view their winnings or join them for an online skate session.

Expanded Gameplay Mechanics Deliver Unprecedented Control: Tony Hawk's Proving Ground introduces eight all new gameplay mechanics empowering players to play the way they want: Expanded Nail-the-Trick™ moves such as Nail-the-Grab and Nail-the Manual, Bowl Carving, Aggro Push, Skate Checking, Climbing/Exploration, Environment Altering and Rig-a-Kit.

Guidance From Skateboarding Pros to Create Your Legacy: As they define their character, players will learn new tricks and mechanics from their favorite skateboarding stars. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground features a diverse roster of the sport's hottest athletes, including Tony Hawk, Ryan Sheckler, Arto Saari, Jereme Rogers, Daewon Song, Jeff King and more.

Greater Variety of Customization: At any time they want, players have the ability to use the Rig-a-Kit and Environment Altering mechanics to transform any locale into their own personal skate park. They can even personalize their Skate Lounge with items such as furniture, plasma TVs and more. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground also delivers a full, ambient world from real-time weather effects to random world events for the most empowered and dynamic experience ever.

Anxious gamers should keep in mind that Tony Hawk's Proving Ground launches for the Xbox 360, this fall. The game is being published by Activision Publishing and developed by Neversoft Entertainment.
