Tony Hawk Shred: Big Air!
© 2010 Activision, Inc.
This new Tony Hawk game/peripheral takes the virtual sport up a notch, by including a motion-sensing (via accelerometers) board controller so you can feel like you're skate or snowboarding. It also adds significantly to the price. The game features coin-op, arcade style gameplay and pro athletes including Chaz Ortiz, Lyn-Z Adams, Travis Rice and Tony Hawk. Tricks include drops, kickers, spins, flips and grabs, while attempting mountainpeeks. You can play as a pro or as your own Mii or Avatar on the Wii and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii version features Mii versions of all the pro athletes and features exclusive levels. Developed by Robomodo for Xbox 360 and PS3, and by Buzz Monkey for Nintendo Wii. Note: the game is bundled with Shred Board which seems very durable. The price for standalone game is $60. The board requires 4 AA batteries (included).
$100, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360
