Tony Hawk has criticised video game reviewers who have given his latest game RIDE, low scores.
Bundled with a wireless skateboard (we knew it was going to end in tears!), RIDE sees you leaning and jumping as you would on a real skateboard. Minus the wheels that is.
But Hawk has hit out at the critics who so far have given RIDE some shocking scores.
“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 added. “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.”
He ended by saying: “I know that (RIDE) is super fun, and I think there’s a misconception that I just stick my name on a game. 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.”
RIDE came out Friday at a £94.99 RRP price point and didn’t even make the Top 40 this week. We’re still awaiting a copy so he can’t say we’re bad reviewers.
But is Hawk just disappointed that his game is utter crap? Tell us below.
