I got Ridge Racer when I bought one of the first Playstations on the market, and I thought it was the greatest racing game I'd ever see. That was before Gran Turismo came along and blew me away. Same thing happened with Tony Hawk - an awesome game, but when I played Thrasher I was just floored. Amazing physics, big levels with tons of detail, lots of tricks, and a killer soundtrack. It's harder than Tony Hawk to pick up and play, but once you get the hang of it you'll be amazed what you can do - just like real skateboarding.

BeST SkateBoarding Game EVER !

I first played the Tony Hawk Pro Skater Demo and I thought it was fake looking and it was hard to do tricks and I got bored of it very quickly you only got 2 minutes to play and then it started over. in this game Demo you had a chance to learn the Moves. I Played the Demo for Thrasher Skate and Destroy and it was easier to do Tricks and the way that the skateboarders moved and did tricks Like a 360 flip looked more Realistic. In Tony Hawk proskater the 360 flip looks like a 180 kickflip, What is That? This game is more real and you could do cooler tricks in this game and Better combos of tricks than you could do in Tony hawk. Today I finally got this game and it is 100 times better than the demo version of Thrasher. If your looking for a Real skateboarding game with a cool oldschool Hip-hip soundtrack: Run DMC,Planit Rock,tribe,EPMD,GangSTARR, and more. 12 different places to skate with tons of secret skate spots : Venice Beach,EMB, LA court house,China Banks, and More. Also in multi-player mode compete on who can do the best wall ride, who can do the worst crash, play horse or Skate and other cool things. This is the Best Skateboarding Game ever and This game is the Greatest game I have ever played!

Great Simulation

An excellent simulation skater for all those who thought Tony Hawk was a little easy for their fingers. Thrasher puts you with real boards, real sponsors and real simulation style playing. The game is extremely challenging and will take a few hours to get used to. After that you will be playing for days trying to pull off impossible tricks while listening to te well made soundtrack. The only problem was the graphics which could have been a little better with frame-rate but other than that, this game should not be missed. This is for all those who want to really master a skateboaring game...

One of the average Sk8ting games.

I first played the demo which was messed up because every time when you fell, you would be on the ground for ever! The controls are very hard to get used to. For example when you do a hardflip you have to hold diagonally up right and press triangle. You might so what? Well while you are holding up right you are skating diagonal so you can't do a hardflip into a grind unless you do it turning. Thats just 1 example. One more I got to tell you is that the skateboards look plane fake. If you want to have fun, Tony Hawk Pro Skater is the game you want to get.

This game is 4 tha OG

Real skateboarding is hard. So is this game. If you're buying a Christmas present for your grandson, this probably isn't the game for you. If you're looking for a game you'll finish in 3 hours, this isn't the game for you. If you want the computer to be your autopilot, and do your tricks for you, this isn't the game for you. But for those gamers that want a true skateboarding experience, who know that skateboarding happens on some loading dock at night, not on ESPN, and who can't stand so-called "industrial" music, nothing even comes close to this game. This is as real as it gets.

Best Xmas Gift Ever for a Skateboarding Enthusiast

If your kid likes skateboarding and video games, this is definitely the gift to give him/her. I can't believe how close to real it feels when you grind a handrail or olly over a garbage can. You can tell they really spent time making the control feel like the real thing. It's so fun and rewarding, and you really have to practice to get better, and then you are all proud when you finally pull-off a wallride! The graphics, the music, and the wipeouts are awesome!

yes!

I have been waiting so long for a game like this. There are all these games out there that pretend to be extreme sports games, but they are really racing games or collect the stuff games. This is the first skateboarding game that is about the tricks. Tony Hawk is a really good game, but it's about breaking boxes and getting tapes and stuff. This game is a lot cooler.

All you have to do is get 5ooo points and you are automatically sponsered for the rest of the game. It is really easy at the beginning and then you get a lot of challenge. You just need to try it.
