The Idea behind the New Skateboard
You go head to your nearest store and find the Tony Hawk Ride atop the shelves. Naturally, this will pique your curiosity. You simply can’t get your eyes off the skateboard that is meant to be the controller when playing the game. Then you wonder, is it any good? If fun and excitement is what you’re looking for, this game won’t disappoint you.
The ride introduces a motion sensing skateboard controller as its main feature. The idea behind this gadget is to provide you with an entirely novel experience. This game is certainly different from anything seen in the world of gaming consoles. You will be asked to play the role of Tony Hawk, the world famous skateboarder as you stand atop the board and go through hurdles with a combination of twists and bends.
The peripheral on the game is impressive because it is large and sturdy enough to withstand all the rigorous movements required in the game. The board features a nice finish to keep your feet firmly planted atop the board. You will also see two internal accelerometers to detect front to back and side to side motion. There are four sensors on each side of the board to be able to read any hand and foot movement. The clever design makes you feel as if you actually have wheels below and this is one skating experience you shouldn’t miss. With the wonderful tradition Wii has successfully started, this is yet another of its latest and most interesting addition.
