  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. Scanning the web, there is no question that a number of Pro Skater veterans are miffed by Ride's complete overhaul of their series – but then again, those same folks would be similarly unhappy with another rehash of the nine previous releases. It's nice to see the series take a new direction – but it definitely could stand a bit more tweaking.
  3. A disappointingly basic skateboarding game with a controller that doesn't work well. [Christmas 2009, p.75]

    I'v got to say, the board worked quite well for me, but as I played it more it seemed to get more and more unresponsive. I have it on the wii, and the graphics are balls, loading screens take the piss and the game is generally quite hard to get used to (This is coming from a skateboarder). The menu's are also inconsistent, which really ticks me off, mid game you can use the board to scroll menus, but no, as soon as you go the main screen, you have to pick up the remote again, which is okay if you know that. I stood there for 5 minutes trying to get the menu scrolling with the board, this may just be a side effect of my own stupidity however. I think if I had the game on Xbox, I would have gave it a better rating, the graphics look simply amazing, but as this was a christmas present I didn't get to choose the console. Wazza Expand

  3. I went into the game with a positive mindset, unfortunately the controls weren't as polished as I thought, and the graphics were hideous. It felt like the developers knew they weren't going anywhere and stopped mid project, boxed the game, and shipped it hoping to receive at least some cash to make up for lost funds. There are better skating games out there that don't involve silly peripherals. Expand
