This game is possibly the worst heap that I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through. This isn't fun. This is a torturous test of endurance. In an attempt to make it vaguely true to life the designers seem to have COMPLETELY neglected the game play element of it. Whoever says the controls are easier than Tony Hawks Pro Skater series is obviously being paid vast sums to do so because they are completely counter-intuitive. The graphics are terrible, the whole game is slow and the soundtrack (which could be good) gets tiresome since the game will only play two of its tracks.

That it is more realistic than THPS series I'm not disputing. But I've got something else which is even more realistic - actually going for a skate. If you've a penchant for putting yourself though absolute misery then go and buy this game, because playing it is akin to watching paint dry while simultaneously having a red hot poker inserted slowly through one eye. Except worse. Oh dear. Martin, where do we keep that poker these days?

WORST GAME EVER!!

I have played the demo, and I could not believe how horrible this game was.

1. The characters in this game can't skate, they hardly get any air

2. Controls are hard

3. I have to unplug the controller to pause the game (pressing start will start some kind of police chase)

4. When I wipeout, it shows it in slow motion which is really anoying

5. lame soundtrack

if u want a good game then get one of the tony hawk pro skater games, whoever chooses this the best over tony hawk, they must have a monkey controling their brain

This video game is anything but fun. The graphics are bad. There are no real skateboarders. No real skate spots, and the game is down right boring. This is the worse skateboad game out there. If you are looking for some fun I would suggest Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE

This is the worst game I have ever played. The controls are horrible. When you fall off your board it takes almost a minute to get back up because the camera goes into slow motion. If you fall to many times your skater dies or gets caught by a cop and you have to start over. DON'T GET THIS GAME!

Don't even touch it

About the rating I gave it well it deserves a negative rating. It's gameplay is sluggish and hard to master all the moves which look totally stupid. If you want a skating game then buy Tony Hawk Pro Skater and you will be up all night. Here's what I have to say about it:

Gameplay- 0.000001

Difficulty- 1,000.0

Addictiveness-0.0000000000000001

Overall- 0.00000000000000001

Extremely difficult game

When i first saw the game i thought it would be a really cool game. IT IS NOT! It is very hard to play and is not fun at all. If your looking for a good skateboarding game get Tony Hawk. It is way better.

Terrible!

As close as skating as this game is, it is way to hard to sit down and try to play. All I could do was ollie and maybe a kick flip. The rest of the five minutes I spent playing this I was getting bailed and killing myself. Tony Hawk's is so much better and atleast you use real skaters. Dont by this game if you want something good.

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.

Not Worth Your Money

Thrasher:Skate and Destroy is trying to be the Gran Turismo of the skateboarding world. However it fails to be a good simulation, the controls make it next to impossible for anyone to pull of a good set of moves. If you want to own a good skateboarding game buy Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
