WRUP: Busting phat grinds edition

by David Hinkle on Oct 19th 2007 4:00PM

How good does it feel to have a traditional Tony Hawk game finally release on the Wii? It feels good to us, or, rather, it will feel good when we give the game a rental this weekend. We're fairly certain that should the title lack any kind of engaging controls that maximize the use of the Wiimote and nunchuk, the Tony Hawk formula itself is something that will make up for it, as we enjoy it in and of itself (sheesh, we've bought almost all of them). Since we can't skate well like Eric Koston above or any other professional skater, we like pretending we can in video games, at least.

Any of you checking out Proving Ground or one of the other releases this week? What are you going to play?

Will pass on the skate for a while, looking for Guilty Gear and Victorious boxers....

I bought THPG on release day and so far my feelings about this title are mixed. The one-player mode is pretty fun - especially the "rigger" mode where you build your own ramps and stuff. Two-player is somewhat disappointing because it's so SLOW. I don't understand how this could have gotten past the QA stage with such a performance issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem yet? Or am I imagining it?
