Thrasher: Skate and Destroy

[replicant]

Dear bunnybcitu, Thrasher was and still is the best skateboarding game that came out before the Skate series. If anyone is "retarded", then I nominate you for recommending half of the shit in your post. THPS while a fun series of games was nothing more than a platformer game disguised in a skateboarding motif in most of its iterations. What people liked about Thrasher was that it actually was about skateboarding, presented itself in a semi-realistic progression of becoming a Pro Skater, and the complexity in it's controls related to the complexity of actual tricks. It was a skateboarding game made for skateboarders and not specifically aimed at gamers like THPS was.

Razor was a shit game made by a terrible fucking dev team. Shaba sucked ass.
Aggressive Inline was a fun game for the fruitbooting arcade crowd.
Disney Extreme was a weakass kids game. It also did not use the Apocalypse 3.0 Engine like THPS4, but they were similar.
X Games Skateboarding was trash made by another terrible dev team. Konami Hawaii sucked ass.
Evo Skateboarding did have potential, but the game was shit nonetheless. It was another Konami Hawaii suckfest.
Mtv Snowboarding was trash. If you recommend old snowboard games then the best choices are ESPN Snowboarding or 1080 Snowboarding. SSX is only for arcade crowd.
BMX XXX... It was suppose to be Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 until Todd Robinson and the fuckwads at Acclaim screwed us over by making us add the Jackass crowd shit.

And no, you didn't come off biased. You just came off like a dumbass.

Wow

I'm amazed when i see so much people knowing this game! Here in France, nobody knows about it!

It was one of my favorite back when I was a kid, and I recently recatched it for my PSP, and I got stoked seeing how cool it still feels more than 10 years later!

few reasons why its a super cool game:

- best skateboard atmosphere ever
- its ugly, yeh...but damn it has style!!!
- AWESOME soundtrack that really fits the style of the game. Even if there's not so many songs (maybe 10?13 max?)
- the gameplay adds a kinda realistic feeling to the game: in max difficulty its hard to do and land tricks, so you really have the feeling that you're skating and completing goals is a real challenge (but not a boring challenge like those in th games)

its typically the game that people who dont like skateboarding wont like (whereas they can like THPS), but people who like skateboarding will love it and should be trying to finish it 100% with all characters!

I dont have an original copy anymore, but don't hesitate to buy it man...Its like a piece of collection to me
