Grind Session
Review by CJoeckel
"Its Tony hawk..Minus the great graphics, sound, and excellent camera work"
Ahh..the Tony Hawk clones have begun to pop up.
This one, made by Sony itself copies Tony hawks controls
in every single way imaginibale. If yoyve played Tony hawk, you will breeze through this one. Use triangle to grind..tailgrabs are down and circle..you know the drill. Even the scoring is similar. Gameplay aside, grind session fails in every other way imaginable. Courses look bland and uninteresting, and arent really designed to well. The music is slow paced Rap music that doesnt fit in the game at all, and none of songs arent good anyway..Sound gave Tony hawk such a great atmosphere..in thisd game it not there, the music sounds like it was thrown in at the last minute. And lastly, the camera is horrible, youll fall millions of times simply because you couldnt see where youre going. And another complaint..walls dont simply make you stop..they make you fall..wasting what little time you have. Suggestion: Waste what little time you have and play Tony hawk, not this unimaginitlve pice of garbage.
It's a shame Sony is simply putting out cloned crap lately (legend of dragoon, speed punks, and now this), you think Sony being a first party would spend some time putting out quality products instead of trying to cash in on a clone, if people would stop buying this crap, we might get it. So do yourself a favor, send Sony a message: NO MORE CLONED GARBAGE. Ok..now onto the scores.
Gameplay 16/30- Exacltey like Tony hawk..and thats the problem..no innovation whatsoever..Ive done this before with a better game. Plus..the camera sucks
Graphics 11/20- Bland boring courses with no pizzazz
Sound 3/10- Bad rap music, doesnt fit in at all..sKater voivces sound just Like tony Hawks...*yawn*
alue 4/10- Only 6 skaters????? Why?? This game is
shortcollecting everyhting is easy..if youve played hawk
overall 14/30- Do yourself a favor..go buy Tony hawk and see how this formula is done right
Total 48%
