Grind Session for PlayStation 1

Pros: great controls and skater models
Cons: is old instantly if you own other skating games

Ever since the success of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater(THPS), it seems skateboarding games are being produced like RPG's and such. This gives a big boost on the skating genre, but also leaves a open space for junk and rip-offs. I will be completely honest...

Pros: better tricks, Black Flag, harder than THPS
Cons: HARDER than THPS, trickier to pull off tricks

I used to be a skateboarder. Then a snowboarder. Then a rollerblader. Now I'm a snowboarder again, but still, I have to make time to scope the skateboarding games, since they're usually the most entertaining ones I can find. So after being obsessed with...

Pros: Similar to THPS
Cons: Will not be as good as THPS

This game seems to come off to most people as a new and improved version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Around my area, the commercials for this game outnumbered the ones for Tony Hawk when it first came out. They had publicized this game much more and...

Pros: good for beginning gamers
Cons: not a lot to do

OK, now that I got your attention with the title, let me tell you how good this game is.I liked it, because you can go through the game level by level, and pretty much just do whatever you want, even if your a beginner and you have no idea what your...

Pros: The Soundtrack
Cons: It's a bootleg version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

You know, ever since Grind Session hit the shelves, I've been dying to try it out. Since then, there has been all kinds of comparisons between it and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I had to rent it just to see what all the stink was about it. After I played...

Pros: Good Clone maybe some variety from tony hawk for a day or two
Cons: Not enough originality.

Grind Session could have been a succesful game had it not been released after Tony Hawk. The first thing you notice when you play this game is how much it is like Tony Hawk. The button configuration is just about exactly the same. The graphics look the...

Pros: Nice graphics
Cons: To easy

This is one of the best skateboarding games. In it you could make you own skater or choose a pro skater. The pro skaters in this awesome game are: Willy Santos; Pigpen; Ed Templeton; Cara-Beth Burnside; Daewon Song(the best); John Cardiel. There are many...

Pros: Exactly like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Cons: Exactly like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Another skateboarding game in the era of an increasing number of skateboarding games. Sony has recently attempted to make a smash hit, and would have done it if it came out before Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Everything is...

Pros: Good gameplay
Cons: Only one person plays the multiplayer at a time.

Grind session combines the control of Tony Hawk, except it felt like they rushed it and the control is a little to touchy at times, and the ability to get new tricks as you progress from Trasher Skate and Destroy. The music is nowhere near as good as...

Pros: Familiar play control scheme; the "dream house" level
Cons: Unforgiving trick landings; difficulty of some "technical lines"

Grind Session attempts to capitalize on the booming popularity of skateboarding games, and counts on its similarities with the most popular skateboarding game out there, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater to do it. While Tony Hawk veterans will be right at home with...

Pros: Good in-game music; Fast gameplay.
Cons: Very few tricks.

Grind Session is one those games that look real good, but play bad. The controls are pretty well done, but the amount of moves in the game brings down its overall score. I personally did not like the fact that there are only about 5-6 skaters, which...

Pros: The greatest skating game to my knowledge in existence, balance meter
Cons: Being compared to a lame game like Tony Hawk-Pro Skater

I used to be strictly a Nintendo kind of guy. In fact you wouldn't see me anywhere near a Playstation console if it were avoidable. That was until we got a Jampack demo disc at the Wal-Mart where I worked which happened to have Grind Session on it....

Pros: some decent levels
Cons: graphics, music, lastability, playability, characters,

Although Grind Session at first appears to be a fairly good skateboarding game once you get used to it, it annoys you and when you play THPS or THPS 2 Grind Session goes into the bin.
The graphics are poor and the control could be a lot better, its...

Pros: Stunning graphics
Cons: Short levels

Even though people say it's a lot like that other Skating game I thought it was a blast! I have a hard time even setting the controller down! I'm no skater but this game pulls me in! It offers lots of challenges, not just tricks and combos (which it...

Pros: Good Soundtrack and gameplay
Cons: Choppy framrate and glitchy graphics

When a game called "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" (THPS) arrived on the market last October, gamers and reviewers ate it up. Finally there was a skateboarding game with exceptional graphics, and most importantly it was fun to play. You might even say...
