Just wondering if anyone has actually tried Tony Hawk's Ride yet. If so, I just wanna see what has happened to what used to be one of my favorite game series.

havent tried it but i just wanted to say that i loved the old tony hawk games, with the ridiculous tricks and crazy stunts. why does anybody want a realistic game other than they cant skate themselves? thats so lame to me. god, i know i cant skate so atleast let me do something completely over the top that i know i cant do anyway

I'm not really willing to pay that much to try it. Lack of 360 controller support is a poor idea.

i played it at best buy... it was kind of cool how you were the only skateboarding (because I always sucked at it in real life lol) but the simplicity of it was out of this world... think about it, me who just walked up to the game was doing all these amazing tricks... I don't see how you can possible enjoy playing that game for anything more than like 2 hours

Check out the gametrailers review. I'm pretty sure it got a 4.6 or so.

Yeah so far it's not looking good for Ride. The poor production values seem to be it's biggest crime. On the upside I guess the board itself is a pretty solid idea and with better implementaion could work well enough.

Let's be honest though. After Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the Dreamcast it was all downhill. Sure 3 was pretty passable, and 4 wasn't really a disaster, they never got the formula quite as perfect as Neversoft's ultimate achievement with 2. The we got Undergroud and American Skateland and other noble attempts to change it up....that never quite worked. Shame. They should just remake 2 :P

The Reviews I have watched so far have made me Laugh Endlessly, When I first saw the controller when it was announced I said it would never work.

Guess what? I was right.

It's got an average score of 5.9/10. That's not even mediocre, it's a crapbomb.

I haven't heard anything about it, none of my friends on Live have been playing it. In my opinion the Tony Hawk series went downhill after American Wasteland.

It makes me sad to hear that they didn't even have the controller option. Watching vids on it hurt as well. I think the series needs to die.

It's only 1.1 points away from getting a good score. That is mediocre, it says so right underneath the "59" on Metacritic. Crapbomb is being way too harsh.
