One of the best skating games out there!

User Rating: 9.8 | Thrasher SK8 PS
Thrasher Skate and Destroy is an amazing skating game. It brings back some of the realism in skating that was lost through the Tony Hawk series. It combines the life of street skating with the challenge of making it to the top. I think that this game shows what skating is all about.

GAMEPLAY: This game is so much fun, although it can be hard at times. From the cool physics to the challenging goals, this game will entertain you from start to finish. It is a lot of fun to run from the cop that chases you at the end of each level, and I thought that was a unique idea to include in a skating game. The multiplayer modes are also really nice because they have a wide variety of mini-games. My favorite is definetly the wipeout mode.

SOUND: The music in this game is a nice mix of hip hop and rap. Now I'm not a big fan of either, but this was ok music to listen to while skating. I think it provided the perfect blend and style to the game. All of the bail noises and the other miscellaneous SFX were nice too.

GRAPHICS: The graphics in this game aren't quite as good as the Tony Hawk series, but they are still pretty good. Its really nice when you start getting better boards and better clothes, because it generally just makes the game look better when you have more colorful boards and clothes to choose from.

Overall, this is one of my favorite skating games on the PS, and I would recommend it to any skater out there. Its cool how toward the end of the game, you can compete to get on Thrasher Magazine. I also liked the competitions in the arenas, because they made the game feel more traditional while still being unique. I skateboard, and I will always remember the fun I had with this game.
