    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.

    Unnecessary clunky controls make this more of a hell ride than a fun ride.

    The huge level of frustration is not worth the time it takes to master the awkward gameplay idiosyncrasies. Instead, it’s more tempting – even as someone with experience – to just spam the waggle movements for a passable high score.

    Tony Hawk RIDE reminds me a lot of the Sega Activator; a great idea that will play a huge role in gaming hardware innovation but unfortunately way ahead of its time. In the know gamers, to you I say: spend your money on something else because you will end up regretting your purchase, and it’s too bad.

    The concept is a sound one but the technology simply falls short. I would love to see this idea fully realized and perfected, but I fear that hefty price tag and poor reception may hinder future iterations in this direction.

    Tony Hawk Ride never came together. It straddles an uncomfortable line between casual and hardcore without being satisfying in either respect and it lacks the polish and presentation necessary to cover up the gameplay shortcomings...File this one under "gimmick."

    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.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.… Full Review »

    It's a fun game but some of the tricks are annoying and when I try to do them I sometimes fall off the skateboard. When you play this It's a fun game but some of the tricks are annoying and when I try to do them I sometimes fall off the skateboard. When you play this game make sure you're wearing sneakers. When I sometimes play it bare foot or if I wear socks, my feat start to hurt. The bottom line is this is an AMAZING game. It's a must buy.… Full Review »
