Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Tony Hawks Skateboarding has flourished over the years on other platforms, and Crave have now chosen the Dreamcast to benefit from the maturity of this game. Based around a couple of skateboarding dudes, the game's goal is to travel through a number of skate parks collecting tapes. These tapes, which are obtained by performing tricks, smashing boxes, collecting letters and basically busting up some moves, allow you to travel to the next level. The more you collect the further you can go. Put this together with a great punk-like soundtrack and what you have is a game that you'll be playing until you've worn the knees off your jeans. The game also offers the usual options that you come to expect, such as free play and multiplayer, with the multiplayer options injecting a breath of fresh air in the form of graffiti, horse and the standard hi-score duel. Graffiti requires the players to "tag" obstacles with their assigned colour by performing tricks on them. The obstacles can be stolen back by the other player performing a better trick on the same obstacle. At the end of the two-minute run, whoever has the most tagged obstacles wins. Horse on the other hand involves the performing of tricks, with the loser of each round gaining a letter, until someone spells out Horse. This is one of those games that is well suited to every kind of player. The levels are multi-layered enough for you to play them over and over, but not get bored, while the two player option brings another interesting element to the overall package. --Stuart Miles
Product Description
Tony Hawk has performed two legendary feats during his skateboarding career. In 1999, he pulled off the first 900--that's two-and-a-half rotations in mid-air--in skateboarding competition history. Around the same time, he contributed hundreds of motion-captured moves for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, originally released on the Sony PlayStation. The realism and compulsive fun of the game left virtual skaters blurry eyed from marathon sessions, and now Dreamcast fans get to jump aboard and discover what the hype's all about.
Skating as the legendary gravity defier Tony Hawk or one of nine other pros, players work their way up the ranks in search of success. So what does it take to be the best? For starters, an encyclopaedic memory of tricks--flips, grinds, slides, inverts, airs, grabs, kick-flips and literally hundreds of other moves and combinations. Success also depends on taking full advantage of the ramps, obstacles, secret areas, half pipes and other environmental toys scattered around the nine courses.
One or two players (in split-screen mode) race, rack up trick points, or skate through game variations on a variety of courses. Tunes belted out by the likes of Goldfinger, Dead Kennedys and Primus keep skaters entertained as they attempt their own full 900 moves.
