Publisher Activision has announced that Tony Hawk: Ride will be released, skateboard controller and all, in the US for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii on November 17.

Ride 'em, sk8r boi.

While Ride's mandatory motion-sensing skateboard reportedly brings its price to $120, developer Robomodo assures "We look at it less as a peripheral, as more of a platform," and that more games are being planned to take advantage of the peripheral.

Only way I'd touch a Tony Hawk game, let alone a peripheral for one, is if they learned a ton of lessons from Skate.

  Especially when the real thing costs significantly less than the price of this plastic toy and game. : Ellissd

I dont get why everyone is so sceptical about this thing. I bet almost all of the people flaming th:r bought Rock Band or GH or even both. It's a "pretend skateboard" and you can't do everything you can do with the real thing, so what?
I'd want to try that thing first before I start nerdraging about how bad it is.
It's just a game - it is not supposed to be the real thing. And not being able to do things that would be possible in reality is just a stupid reason to hate it.
