Tony Hawk Ride is a Sporting game available on the PS3. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Tony Hawk Ride is a Sporting game. Sports games recreate a wide variety of real life competitive activities. Depending on the sport, these will either have an action or strategy focus. Popular sports games are often released on an annual basis, each year the game receives new player rosters and game improvements.

Tony Hawk Ride can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Tony Hawk Ride can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Frugal Gamer review Wed, 18 Nov 2009

Leading the skateboarding genre into a brave new world, Tony Hawk Ride changes the way you play games by moving your hands off the traditional controller and putting your feet onto a wireless skateboard that looks and feels just like the real thing. With your actions on the board dictating what happens onscreen, Tony Hawk Ride for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii is a revolution in videogame entertainment that immerses you into the game and living the professional skateboarding dream.

The Tony Hawk skateboarding franchise has gone through a number of changes throughout the years but nothing has been quite as groundbreaking as the premise to Ride. It takes the traditional Tony Hawk game but puts control of the game down to your physical moves and balance on a wireless skateboarding controller. This is truly a next-generation experience and evokes the same feeling the first Rhythm-action games did when they were first released.
