New details on the multiplayer modes in Tony Hawk's Project 8 have emerged - and for series fans, they're pretty much what you'd expect, with one exception.
The two-player only Horse is back, along with eight-player games of Trick Attack, Combo Mambo, Score Challenge and Combo Challenge - asking you to be first to hit either a predetermined score or just rack up the biggest score during a timed session. Graffiti also makes a reappearance, in which trick areas are tagged with your skater's colour until another player claims them with a higher-scoring trick.
New for Project 8 is Walls, a directly competitive mode where every skater leaves a solid trail behind them as they skate - with the intention of forcing other players to smack into them. At first glance it seems to be a strange addition - as it's one that requires little skating skill - but performing long combos increases the length of your wall, which should see some struggles to wall off those trick-chain areas all for yourself.
