  1. The board brings the franchise to life in remarkable ways. There is a decent variety of game modes and the '80s look is a nice touch.
  2. If you enjoyed any of the Wii's boarding games, and are looking to take it to the next level, you'll have a trick-fueled blast with RIDE. If you prefer strict accuracy driven by analog sticks and buttons, however, stay far away from this one, lest your frustration finds you impaling your HDTV with RIDE's faux skateboard.
  3. The controls are atrocious, a definitely no-no when they're also your big hook. However, the game is not without any redeeming qualities. It really all depends on how much players are willing to pay for a game that ends up being mediocre at best.

    I played this all Thanksgivnig night with my family. It was a blast. It took me a while to figure out that the mii feture was something to unlock. I did end up getting far enough to play as my mii. I'm not sure why it's a locked feature, it should have been an immediate option. Expand

  3. I should have listened to my friends. I love skating so I didn't listen and got this game. It isn't that it's bad, it just isn't very good. Same old same old and then more of the same old. Oh well, at least it was better than the stip poker game I reviewed on this site. Expand
