Hey, it's CrispyTater here with a review for Tony Hawk Ride! I got this game for christmas this year and when i opened it i was amazed! I saw a big black deck with a game!!! I thought it would blow me away!!!....then I turned it on.Ok, for first impressions it sucks... When you start it up you go through a like... 5 minute long synchronisation processthat you have to do before you play. Then you make a character from the like 6 already set starter players. The one i pickedbecause it looked completely insane was a guy in pink boxers with a beard and black sunglasses. You start by learing the basics like ollies flips and mannies.I understand that..., then you jump into the gameplay. I started in casual and now I'm halfway through Hardcore which believe me, I like livivg in the basement. It's really hard to get used to! :) Casual mode is basically like riding a rail, so don't worry about navigation. The only navigation is you can pick your rail from time to time. The modes in each city for points are speed run:you have to collect x____ amount of gates in a certain amount of time. Trick: you do a certain amount of tricks for big points in a certain amount of time. And challenge: they have preset challenges for you to do. I find the difficulty level in this game is not moderate or medium.I find it not impossible, but a bit less. Because, steering is hard to get used to when you were riding rails for the last couple of days. The game also has a mii feature where you can skate with either your mii or a mii preset to ollk like a pro skater in the game. So overall :)..... Graphics: Meh...... 6.0 Gameplay:Meh.....6.0 Audio:Meh.........6.0 Satisfaction: Now here I'll usee some words! It's satisfying if you just wanted to frontside impossible on to a rail and blunt it till the end, but if not.....Meh. 8.0 Overall: This is actually tough, despite the hard review, I really enjoyed this game. So I don't give a crap if you think it's abysmal cause it's getting a 7.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
