For the 10th installment of the Tony Hawk series, Activision and Tony Hawk decided to take a new approach at the game. Drop the controller and create a skateboard peripheral. With a whole new way to play, Tony Hawk and Activison surely thought this would re-inject some excitement to the franchise. Unfortunately for them, critics thought differently, based on their current metacritic score of 48. The Birdman isn’t gonna let reviewers just shit all over his game, he had this to say in a recent interview with Sudbury Star.

“They were ready to discredit it before they even tried it, and if it didn’t play exactly how they imagined it… then they passed it off” Hawk told the Sudbury Star.

“I don’t agree with people who say the board’s not responsive,” he continues. “I think that they’re just not giving it a fair shake. And I think a lot of them came into it with an attitude that it’s going to suck.”

“I know that (RIDE) is super fun, and I think there’s a misconception that I just stick my name on a game,” he said. “I brought this idea to Activision, and I saw it through, I’ve been playing it every step of the way and I am very proud of it.”

I gotta say Tony Hawk does seem very passionate about his series. I must say, I believe going into something believing it sucks works for me, because if it turns out to be good, I can admit to people and to myself that I was wrong about this product,movie, game, etc. Sadly, Activision didn’t provide me with my own board and game so I can’t say this game sucks. So hook me up Activision, I’m tired of doing ollies with the thumbsticks. Shots fired!
