    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.

    Ride is the type of game that you have to warm up to, but then is suddenly sucks you into the excitement and you catch yourself trying to beat your last run of tricks, or speed run.

    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.

    A disappointingly basic skateboarding game with a controller that doesn't work well. [Christmas 2009, p.75]

    This game has been a blast for my six year old. My three year old can play a bit as well. Maybe not good enough for hard core gamers, but for family entertainment it has hit the mark.… Expand

    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

    glad im writing this years after i bought the game. at first i was glad the controls were hard to get used to. figured it was because i was just beginning. but no. i was mistaken. the controls were just that bad. there is nothing "polished" about this game. 3 stars tho cuz now i have a cool conversation piece. damn board is a good reminder that i need to read reviews and not be a fanboy and throw money at franchises… Expand
