Tony Hawk: Ride
Jan 17th, 2010 by cm1
As I stood there watching Tony Hawk launch his all-new skateboarding game in New York City yesterday I began to see why the team created this completely new experience for fans. Tony Hawk is no longer the twenty-something X-Games champion that he once was, he has aged and is married with a precious little daughter; his times of ruling the skateboarding world are slipping away (he still has skills). That’s why the development team created Tony Hawk: RIDE, an all-new take on the multi-million dollar, 10 year running video game franchise. RIDE takes everything you are familiar with in a skateboarding game and throws it out the window, creating something revolutionary that will change the way fans play this genre of games going forward. If you are just watching a commercial for Tony Hawk: RIDE, or checking out the latest screenshots, you may not even see what the big deal is; the fun comes from a well-made accessory included with every copy of the game. That medium-sized plastic skateboard is your ticket to an insane amount of fun, and a direct line to a casual market of gamers for the Tony Hawk series. This review is not for the hardcore gamer, it’s for kids and the casual gamer the looking for something new and enjoyable; Tony Hawk: RIDE brings a whole lot of fun to the rehashed video game market.
Everything up to this point that I have seen about RIDE has done little to cure my skepticism, a skateboard accessory just doesn’t sound like something that could work and for the past couple years EA’s SKATE has ruled the industry. I have to assume that this little board will do for skateboarding games what the guitar did for music games some time ago. Once I got to put my hands on the final skateboard accessory I could instantly see how much time and effort was put into the design, it feels solid – like it wouldn’t be easy to break. There are a number of sensors on both sides and ends of the skateboard, offering a unique way to virtually play the game. It basically gives full 360-degree motion to the player. Because the game is aimed at both the casual and hardcore (leaning more towards casual) the basic tricks are fairly easy to pull-off, but you can get serious with RIDE as well (360 Christ-air is one of my personal favorites). Lean down and place a hand over the front/back sensor and your on-screen avatar will do the same thing (grab), scoring you extra points or combo multipliers. Manuals and other well-known tricks are also easy to pull-off, and thankfully the game ramps up its difficulty over time, allowing for even the most novice skaters to become virtual-reality professionals.
