YAY!! ITS FUN
yea, for for minutes i bet.
how would you rate this game? (app store hasn't been updated)
about 8/ 10, it has really good simulation, but unlike tonyhawk series, its not 3rd person view and skate board is fixed so its kinda hard to play and because you can't manual, u can't keep up the score… i hope later it gets improved in those area
LAME.
This has yet to show up in the iphone/IPT WIFI App store…
Edit: there is no intelligent retrieval with entry of part/all of the letters from "Touchgrind", but if you invoke a search of "Touchgrind" anyway it does retrieve it.
awe-f00king-some!
though a bit easy to get higher scores as you get newer boards, still awesome… i would like an obstacle free arena as level chooser though, that'd be awesome
pretty awesome! It looks like fingerboard
well, even though i find it hard to navigate without seeing what's ahead, it's still a pretty addictive game, the tricks come out naturally and sound perfect. i'd give it a 8/10 as well. Just wasted a couple of hours….
its tuff to learn but a hell lot of fun, just like real sk-8-boarding… way to go!
this game wierd i got 1.2m highscore and it not updating wats up with that
