Spawn Kill's The Herp takes a look at Tony Hawk Ride. Does the new peripheral enhance the experience, or is it just a gimmick? Read the full review to find out.

The days of button-combo skateboarding games are over. Tony Hawk games have always been a series that appeals to people who aren’t the biggest skateboarding fans but the increasingly difficult button combos of the most recent games have begun to weed out all the casual fans of the series. With the success of EA’s SKATE, Activision needed to do something in order to bring back some respect to the Tony Hawk series. What we see today with Tony Hawk: Ride was their reaction and it might have been a bit too ambitious. While I applaud Activision for allowing Tony Hawk to create his “dream” game which is a peripheral based skateboarding game, Ride just seems like it needed a little more time in development.
