Forums - Gaming - First Tony Hawk: RIDE reviews are… mixed

The first reviews of Tony Hawk: Ride have started to trickle in, and sprained ankles and bruised egos seem to be the name of the game here. Well, mostly. So, is this the large plastic, skateboard-shaped nail in the Tony Hawk franchise’s coffin? Let’s take a look.

G4 and Planet Xbox 360 both conducted their reviews at a day-long event last weekend. According to G4, though, they had plenty of time to finish the game.

 

I was hoping for better I really used to enjoy this series on N64/PS1

discuss?

There's a reason Activision sent absolutely no review copies of the game out. It starts out okay, then ends up being absolutely garbage.



I bet G4 sucks at skating.



Pixel Art can be fun.

No. The game is just shit. It's actually an abomination.



Tony hawk games haven't been that good since THPS2 on the PS1. THUG was maybe the last decent one.

tbh it has always looked like a horrible idea to me, there are certain activities that take far too much skill or practice to imitate in a direct fashion, and using a board controller is trying for that direct kind of control where you either make it true to life and amazingly hard to learn or simplify it to the point where the actions you are making have little relation to what happens on the screen at which point you might as well have a controller in your hand.

But all that is just a argument on the general concept, what really makes me think it doesn't work well is the videos of gameplay. Just doesn't seem like you have enough control to pick between a decent variety of tricks.

Weird...I was expecting new winds for Tony hawk thx to unique control.



 

 

Take my love, take my land..

Tony Hawk's Underground 1 was the last good TH game... Oh well, good thing I own two copies... with one being in shrink wrap still.



now the question is, who is more accurate? 1/5 or 9/10?



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

This game is a flop.

 

Really is.
