Tony Hawk: SHRED

Overview

Tony Hawk: SHRED is Robomodo's follow-up to their first skateboarding title: Tony Hawk: Ride. Like its predecessor, Shred makes use of the skateboard peripheral controller originally designed by the developer to emulate the act, and feel of skateboarding on an actual board. Additionally, Shred now includes a brand new Snowboarding mode, allowing the player to test their "killer" skills on one of several snow-based mountains.
 
The game was released without much fanfare. Activision chose not to give the game a significant marketing push at launch. The game was reported to have sold a paltry 3,000 units in its first week on store shelves. Two versions of the game were sold at retail; a package including both the game as well as the skateboard peripheral, and a second package consisting solely of the game by itself.
