Tony Hawk: Ride - Nintendo Wii

Tony Hawk: Ride is a spin-off of the Tony Hawk skateboarding series. The game comes with a wireless peripheral shaped like a real skateboard, which is needed to play the game. Players stand on the board and then infrared sensors detect the motion to control the character in the game. Rather than merely turning, the game detects leaning for the force of the direction, raising the tail or nose (for manuals and ollies), and reaching down to mimic a grab which is registered through separate sensors in front and to the sides by blocking them with a hand. Pushing off is done by brushing a leg along the ground next to the board to gain speed. More complex tricks are done through leaning and twisting the board. There are three difficulty levels to play the game. On the lowest steering is done automatically and the player only needs to perform jumps and tricks. For higher levels steering is turned off, along with assists such as guiding lines.
