This is a one of a kind skateboarding game! Ive never played anything like it! The gameplay is awesome! it'll keep you entertained for hours on end! even if you do manage beating the game theres tons of secret levels and charaters that are to be gotten! I like how its challenging but not so hard it gets anoying. The triks you can pull of are sick! the levels are larg with tons of places to pull off your greatest moves! they even have secret areas that can only be accsesed by becoming possesed! getting possesed happens when you pull off a combo move with four tricks in it. it's the tightest game ever! you dont even need to be into skateboarding to like this game! All my freinds and I agree its better than tony hawk! if your planning on buying a game... BUY THIS ONE! I promise you wont regret it! By far the best game ive played in a long time!

Even though some people consider Shaba Studios an imitator, they designed a top-notch skateboard game that not only has real, accurate reproductions of skateboard locations, top notch pro skaters, lots of secret areas, and a loaded move list (over 100 moves available), but has an incredibly high replay value, making you want to go back for more and figuring out how to accomplish those hard-to-do "tech lines". I would have to say that this is an enhanced version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with more gameplay, an excellent soundtrack, and more options (including the Create-A-Skater mode). Enough said!

Of course it being a new game you usually think it is alredy a better game. But Grind Sesson is more than a new game. With the old Tony Hawk you had "competions" at any old level. In this you're actuallt at a Vans Triple Crown Park and go through the real challenges like vert, street, and best trick. Tony Hawk wasn't that in depth. The custom skater could be a little better but graphics, and the real pro sk8ers are things that kepp the game good. Unforunately Tony 2 will blow away Grind Sesson but this is still a good game.

OK this game is just plain cool.Heres a list.
COOLS
-levels ARE WAY better than tony hawk series.
-8 really cool pros that are'nt publicity freaks but actually good skaters.
-Graphics are decent as hawk series.
-Music is really good.about half rap and half rock.
-Im a real life skateboarder and can tell you that the tricks in the game are realistic unlike tony hawk with that coffin grind and handstand junk.
FOOLS
-The create a player mode is worth squat.
-the game is beaten easily in about 3 hours but still really fun to play.
All in all, a really good game.I'm not a tony hawk hater,i have most of his games and like him as a skater, but this game is more concrete and realistic than his series.If u want a skateboard game where u get crazy tricks and unrealistic air,this game is not for u.Try some games like tony hawk 1 and 4 for that.

I played the playstation demo cd version which has only 1 level and 2 pro sk8ters to choose from and it is sooo much fun. My game partner Eddy and I played for hours just on the demo alone. I live in the SF Bay area and the Mission BART Station was so realistic I thought I was there. Tony Hawk's may be more realistic as far as falling off all the time doing basic moves, but this one lets you enjoy yourself with cool tricks - much more game playing entertainment. WOW!

It's not all hard to control like tony hawk so you can actually have fun playing instead of being 1 inch from tv grunting on the control. I liked this game so much, that when i rented it (i dont own it yet) i rented it 4 times in a row.

OK, they did a good job. THPS raised the anty, but come on! This game does the job. Enjoyable, and Re-Playable. Start a genre collection with this one second to THPS. It will feed the craving until PS2!

Grind Session, follows in the path of Thrasher: Skate and Destroy and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. But can it destroy the ultimate skateboarding game list? Heck yeah! Grind Session has eight proskaters, not in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, like Pigpen and Cara-Beth Burnside. You can also create your own skaters, too bad there are only four choices on the looks. Two guys and two girls. It could be better though, but it still gets five stars. Pick this game up so you can spend your time waiting for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Trust me, you'll love both.

This game is the best game of skateboarding I've ever played! For those of you who liked Thrasher: Skate and Destroy I recommend this. There are so many different tricks to do! This game is like Tony Hawk and Thrasher combined. It rocks!

This game is one of the best skateboard games out there. Even though the controls are just like Tony Hawks pro skater, it has better skating grounds plus some new people. NOTE: you can play with such characters as Pigpen,Willy Santos,Ed Templeton and more. I highly suggest this game.
