Thrasher: Skate and Destroy

[Boris Magee]

Thanks Pawn, that should help tide me over until the game arrives.
And agus - hmm, sounds interesting. The removal of cheat codes ensures that I will play the game properly and get the most out of it, so after I give my bank account a courtesy cooldown period I will get right back into buying games again and that will be one of them. And you should look into buying a PS1 off of eBay - I was originally going to do that, but I thought why not make the extra step to PS2 and give myself access to thousands of more games.
And Eternal - yeah, I am definitely intrigued in maximum remix hahahah. Also, thanks for your Thrasher montages - I have watched them to death in anticipation of the game coming in the mail.

I'm from argentina, buying stuff from eBay is very complicated. But I will some day check for used systems in the local market.
About the cheats, I totally understand you, but for example, my case, I already completed the game 100% several times when I was a kid, if I get the game again, I will use cheats to unlock all the maps, cuz freeride is what I like the most (like free skating), and cheating wont make me play unproperly.

get it....i love that game

I had some complications with the PS2 - the disc drive got messed up in the post and wouldn't spin anything, let alone read it.
So I am sending it back for a refund.
This morning however, I just walked down to my local EB Games (Australian version of Gamestop, just way more expensive) and got a preowned PS2.
It worked great, and is actually the latest model of the console before they stopped producing them. I have played the crap out of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX - as it is the only game that has arrived.
And I am anxiously waiting for the arrival of the other games hahaha

Also a question for anyone who knows anything about it - 'Grind Session'. Apparently a lot of people like it more than THPS1 and THPS2, do you guys have any experience with it?

Thanks

Grind session was a decent game. Not as good as Thrasher but worth the buy.

[Boris Magee]

Yeah, Grind Session looks pretty good but I have higher priorities at the moment.

Thrasher: Skate and Destroy arrived! I have only spent a little bit of time with it so far, but am really liking it. I am impressed with how many possibilities for lines and stuff there are. Unfortunately, the massive speed boost you get when pushing makes it a bit of a pain to get the speed you want, but apart from that its great. Can't wait to spend some more time with it. May do it right now in fact hahaha

I might be wrong, since its been more than 8 years since I last played that game but, didn't it have very clean, crispy sounds? (both skate and enviroment sounds). Good audio makes me like a game even more.

[Boris Magee]

Yeah, still looking into it.

Although, I am so deeply engrossed by THPS1, THPS2 and MHPBMX at the moment hahahahah
so so much more fun than tony hawk hd
