better then tony hawk!Jun 05, 2000
This is a one of a kind skateboarding game! Ive never played anything like it! The gameplay is awesome! it'll keep you entertained for hours on end! even if you do manage beating the game theres tons of secret levels and charaters that are to be gotten! I like how its challenging but not so hard it gets anoying. The triks you can pull of are sick! the levels are larg with tons of places to pull off your greatest moves! they even have secret areas that can only be accsesed by becoming possesed! getting possesed happens when you pull off a combo move with four tricks in it. it's the tightest game ever! you dont even need to be into skateboarding to like this game! All my freinds and I agree its better than tony hawk! if your planning on buying a game... BUY THIS ONE! I promise you wont regret it! By far the best game ive played in a long time!

Better than Tony Hawk. PERIOD!Jun 26, 2000
Even though some people consider Shaba Studios an imitator, they designed a top-notch skateboard game that not only has real, accurate reproductions of skateboard locations, top notch pro skaters, lots of secret areas, and a loaded move list (over 100 moves available), but has an incredibly high replay value, making you want to go back for more and figuring out how to accomplish those hard-to-do "tech lines". I would have to say that this is an enhanced version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with more gameplay, an excellent soundtrack, and more options (including the Create-A-Skater mode). Enough said!

Grind Sesson better than Tony Hawk?Jun 06, 2000
Of course it being a new game you usually think it is alredy a better game. But Grind Sesson is more than a new game. With the old Tony Hawk you had "competions" at any old level. In this you're actuallt at a Vans Triple Crown Park and go through the real challenges like vert, street, and best trick. Tony Hawk wasn't that in depth. The custom skater could be a little better but graphics, and the real pro sk8ers are things that kepp the game good. Unforunately Tony 2 will blow away Grind Sesson but this is still a good game.

better than hawk seriesNov 25, 2003
OK this game is just plain cool.Heres a list. COOLS -levels ARE WAY better than tony hawk series. -8 really cool pros that are'nt publicity freaks but actually good skaters. -Graphics are decent as hawk series. -Music is really good.about half rap and half rock. -Im a real life skateboarder and can tell you that the tricks in the game are realistic unlike tony hawk with that coffin grind and handstand junk. FOOLS -The create a player mode is worth squat. -the game is beaten easily in about 3 hours but still really fun to play. All in all, a really good game.I'm not a tony hawk hater,i have most of his games and like him as a skater, but this game is more concrete and realistic than his series.If u want a skateboard game where u get crazy tricks and unrealistic air,this game is not for u.Try some games like tony hawk 1 and 4 for that.

Fun, Fun, FunJun 24, 2000
I played the playstation demo cd version which has only 1 level and 2 pro sk8ters to choose from and it is sooo much fun. My game partner Eddy and I played for hours just on the demo alone. I live in the SF Bay area and the Mission BART Station was so realistic I thought I was there. Tony Hawk's may be more realistic as far as falling off all the time doing basic moves, but this one lets you enjoy yourself with cool tricks - much more game playing entertainment. WOW!
