    This Game is Fun as Hell

    This game is totally RAD  ! ! !  I really cannot say enough good things about this game my friends and I a total blast playing this game. In fairness my friends and I have only completed the game on causal mode but that gave us a run for our money.  I have only played the single player game but the way it is set up it allows multiple people to take turns and compete because after each challenge is completed and you place you enter your name much like arcade games.  My friends and I became very competitive because of this feature, but make sure you have one of those keyboards attached to the controller or forget it.  The board responds pretty damn well but some of the tricks are hard as hell the 180's can get kind of tricky because you have to spin your whole body.  All three of us fell down multiple times but never hurt ourselves we were all pretty drunk at the time though we may not have fallen as much if we hadn't all been tanked.  There are quite a few levels, I wish there had been more, but I was actually surprised there were as many as there were. I find that most games are pretty short these days.  That being said it took us somewhere between 7-9 hours to complete, we did try to place 1st in all the events and did in most but not all.  The one event we did not play was s-k-a-t-e which is the equivalent of Horse in basketball it is fucking stupid and I suggest everyone just skip it and i hope they don't include it in future games.  Next week we will make a go at the confident mode and i think it will be hard as fuck but fun as well.  I would suggest this game to everyone it fucking rules!!!  I cant wait until another game for this board comes out i will buy it on day one.  Oh one last note this is a party game to be played with friends I really don't think I will or would play this game by myself very often i guess it like rock band or guitar hero where it is funner with friends but i don't know because I hate those music games.  Anyway go get this game it rules. 
     
    UPDATE: I have played the game on Confident it is a little harder but the controls still feel tight and responsive it just requires a little more balance.  I enjoy this because on casual I would see something on one of the paths that i was not on and I could not get to it now I can. AS far as the board I dont know if people have been getting messed up, broken skateboards or people aren't  playing it right.  If it is the broken control scenario that sucks because it platform has TONS of potential. Still one of my favorite games of the year.

      My critique of greenlazer's review 0

            This review is totally BAD !!!* Kidding aside, here is my review of greenlazer's review of Tony Hawk: RIDE.** First off, the easiest part of his review to criticize is the lack of structure. Sure, many people on the internet write articles, blogs and reviews without giving it the basic structure it deserves, but that does not make it right. Everyone has, or has had - trouble with grammar. But to make one, giant paragraph is just unacceptable.        Anyone can be a "Grammar Nazi," so I sha...

      Innovative Controls Aren't Everything 0

      Robomodo was selected to develop this addition to the Tony Hawk's Franchise for the Xbox 360 and PS3.   It's very strange not seeing the Neversoft name attached to a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game. After the release of Proving Ground, Activision took a year off to revamp the series. Robomodo tries to take advantage of the big motion control craze by creating a motion controller for Tony Hawk: Ride. The controller looks like a skateboard and is surprisingly sturdy. However, the motion controls are p...
