Next peripheral game in the series aimed squarely at the kids...
Perhaps Activision and Tony Hawk have learnt their lesson. After the universally panned Tony Hawk�s: Ride, Activision is clearly labelling its latest title in the venerable series as squarely aimed towards a younger audience i.e the only people who actually managed a smidgen of fun with the unresponsive and quite frankly dull peripheral based title last year.
Featuring an arcade style and �GO BIG� moments, Tony Hawk�s Shred is �packed to the brim with larger-than-life moments and a veritable assortment of jaw-dropping tricks � enticing kids to get off the couch and into the action.�
As Activision puts it:
�Whether it�s younger kids raring to jump on the board to pull-off huge tricks, or older kids craving to go head-to-head against siblings and friends for the top score, Tony Hawk: SHRED offers a socially fun and physically active experience the whole family can enjoy together!�
Offering both skateboarding and snowboarding action, the full line-up of pro skate and snowboarders includes Tony Hawk, Lyn-z Adams Hawkins, Corey Duffel, Sean Malto, David Gonzalez, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and Chaz Ortiz; Travis Rice, Louie Vito and Olympic Gold Medalist Torah Bright.
Players can also import Mii and Avatar characters in the game on Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
�Tony Hawk: SHRED is all about experiencing over-the-top, almost unbelievable GO BIG moments throughout the game � the kind of tricks and stunts that we can only hope to achieve as our sports continue to evolve,� said Tony Hawk. �I�m also excited about including snowboarding in SHRED, because when we originally came up with the board motion-controller, we didn�t just have skateboarding in mind, and it�s nice to finally see that idea coming to fruition.�
