Great concept, poor execution. That sums up the general response to Tony Hawk's 2009 wireless skateboard peripheral game, Ride. But according to publisher Activision, you won't just ride in the next title in the Tony Hawk franchise, you'll Shred.

We expect to introduce a new Tony Hawk game. Game ratings for Tony Hawk Ride weren't as high as we would have hoped last year. And in hindsight, it took longer to optimize the hardware leaving less time to develop the software we launched in 2009. Still, play testing and consumer feedback have been very encouraging. The premise of standing on the skateboard and performing tricks that only the pros can pull off is very compelling.

This year, with the hardware complete, we'll be focusing on improving the software in order to unlock the full potential of the board. We continue to believe that this innovative peripheral redefines the skateboarding experience and could potentially have different applications in the future.

We give it a 1 out of 10 if we could have given it a 0 we would have
