This game would have gotten more respect if it did not got released right after Tony Hawk Pro skater. These are two quite different games. Tony hawk is more of a fast action arcade game. Thrasher is a more realistic skating game which takes longer to learn. The control and animations are both smooth (the wipeouts are great). There are 12 areas to skate one: two of which, however, are rather lame. In one player mode some more advanced tricks are leaned as you go. You can also choose the sponsers you want to represent on your shirt, shoes, and board. The sound track on this game is the coolest I've heard on a playstation game. Rather than having music created for the game it uses existing old-school hip-hop songs by such artists as Run DMC, Gang Starr, and Public Enemy. Also included is, in my opinion, one of the coolest rap songs ever: Rappers Delight by Sugar Hill Gang. I think the main flaw is the lack of a split screen 2 player mode. Also, in the game when you are moving slowly near a ledge or stairs, the character sometims falls for seemingly no reasson. Overall this is a fun game for anyone once you get good at it but actual skaters will appreciate it more than non-skating gamers. Sure if this game is an 8, then Tony Hawk probably probably should be a 9 due to its pure fun factor, but I dont think that should keep you away from this game.Read full review
in my humble opinion thrasher skate and destroy would be in the uppermost echelon of video games. it really has everything in a video game i personally as a skateboarder could desire. like skateboarding this game is cumbersome, technically difficult to get used to, and to most gamers graphically dated. i mean these things all as earnest attributes and things that make me like the game more. small gestures like breaking your board and being chased by cops make it sit in a more plausible and reality based world when compared with lesser titles like tony hawk pro skater. the soundtrack is airtight, the way you gradually learn tricks is awesome, the locales are almost all historic spots, and the sponsor companies are the best possible candidates for 90's skateboarding. i have played this game since it came out in 1999 and every time i lose my copy i buy another immediately. i will hopefully always at least one copy of this game and can safely say that this video game is of true thrasher quality.Read full review
