i wasn't sure if i wanted to purchase this game or not. i read many reviews about it and they were all generally good. well.. im here to change that. purchasing Grind Session was the biggest mistake i made today....this game is pure garbage and i do not recommend it to anyone..the graphics are bad, the controls are worse, and the game is not fun at all compared to THPS. in short, this game is a bad THPS. Maybe it was the first prototype of Tony Hawk they tried to put out, but it failed miserably on the market?..i don't know... but what i do know is that this game is not worth anyone's money, time or effort to go out and buy. i hope this review is helpful and stops you from making a bad decision.

very boarring game

its alright but defenatly not as good as tony hawk i thought that the graphocs arnt that good but the movments are ok and the buttons dont somtime dont respond and also if you think about it when tony hawk comes out and you get it youll never play it again so my sugjestion is just go out and get the demo and just play that or rent grind sesion a few times

Grind Session Is VERY Dissapointing - Stick With Tony Hawk!

Grind Session is a rip-off of Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Grind Session's gameplay resembles THPS enormously! Grind Session might have been much less of a dissapointment if it was released after Street Sk8er and before THPS, but sadly it was released just too late. BOTTOM LINE: This game might pass for a decent blockbuster rental but nothing more. Don't spend a dime on this title! Wait for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2!

poor man's tony hawk!! boo yah

I played the demo version of this game off this cd I got in the mail one day. ...The skaters look like they just ate too much at Waffle House, and the tricks resemble skating from the early 80's. I wouldn't waste my time or money on it, even from the free demo disc. After playing this game for about 40 minutes I threw it into the cat's litter box.

Good Enough

OK, they did a good job. THPS raised the anty, but come on! This game does the job. Enjoyable, and Re-Playable. Start a genre collection with this one second to THPS. It will feed the craving until PS2!

Mediocre

This game was an ok skateboarding game,I would definitely recommend Tony Hawk's Pro Skater or THPS 2 ,even Street Sk8er.This game's graphics were alright but the tricks are harder to do then in Tony Hawk.

Not worth the time and money

Grind Session looks like a new differint style Skateboarding game to get your hands on. It is if your getting sick of THPS style however there is a down side: The graphics are very primitive, however, I thought the skateboarders wipe outs were somewhat life-like. The music sounds like elevator bands trying to preform rock songs. The sound is somewhat OKAY but sounds like it was produced by banging on trash cans and slapping wood on bricks. All in all i would say this game is about 2 hours of fun, and then youll froget about it.

Grind session is not a very good game. If you are going to buy a skateing game, you should buy one of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games.

Grind session has 5 playable characters, about 10 levels, and lots of secret characters.on each level, you have to do tricks to get pro points, which you use to unlock other levels. there are also objects you can break to earn extra pro points. there are also 2 contest levels.

when you do alot of harder tricks, you can fill up a meter that makes your guy move faster. also it makes him spin easier.

It's alright....

Yeah it's pretty fun, but I think THPS is still better. When I rented it I didn't play it much though. The graphics to this game could have been a lot better, they were pretty glitchy and grainy, the courses are pretty lame, nothing really inovative at all. And after I played a demo of THPS 2 which is coming this August, I knew I would rather wait for that, then buy this one. In fact I had a heck of a lot more fun with that demo than this entire game. The one thing that stood out from the rest of the skating games was the soundtrack, they did a very good job on that.

Good game, nothing great though. Only buy if your a die hard skater fan..
