Getting On Board With Tony Hawk’s New Peripheral
May 26, 2009 by RawmeatCowboy Filed Under: Wii

I want to try out the new Tony Hawk game, that I can admit. I just don't see myself willing to spend $120 on a board that is only going to be supported by one franchise. I don't like skateboarding that much to commit to a purchase like that. I'll try it out...but I think I'll be renting if possible.

I don't want to try it out. It just doesn't seem like it would be something fun to play. That price tag doesn't help either.

Its been like 7 or 8 years since my last tony hawk game. Is the series still a wild arcade style skateboard game? The only impression im getting from looking at this board peripheral is expensive boring real life simulator.

Never been into the Tony Hawk series. This is not making me want to start....

Seconded. I played Project 8 on the 360, and couldn't get into it. A huge fake skateboard isn't going to help.

I have no interest on spending that much money on the bundle.

You can always try it at shows like E3, RMC.

like someone on the podcast said, I havent played since Tony Hawk 2 on the N64. I dont know of many people that want to pay 120$ for a skateboarding game.

$120=massive failure

No way this is going to do well at all. If they could get the price around $89, they might have a chance but there is no way that people are going to spend that much for Tony Hawk.
