    The only way Shred won't make you want to tear your hair out is if you play the game on the casual setting, during free ride, and with low expectations.

    Shred is a hodgepodge of good-on-paper ideas intended for younger and casual gamers, but the poor execution ends up alienating all. [Jan 2011, p.65]

    It's clear that considerable effort has gone into Shred, but for those with fond memories of the Birdman's glory days, this could be the final insult. [Issue#104, p.118]

My only problem with it is that sometimes the board doesn't read your moves quite right. But with good graphics, fun gameplay, and a rockin' soundtrack, this game is a great pickup for anyone.
