Tips] ==================================================================================== a. basic tips --------------- 1. dont stay in the same area as much the points will go down. 2. explore, look for things to link tricks for massive points. 3. dont do the same trick over and over the points decrease for that trick. 4. if you think you are going to wreck then press L2 or R2 to bail and stop yourself from completing the trick. 5. press O when bailing to tuck yourself in to reduce damage. 6. press triangle when bailing from a high wreck to grab a ledge or wire. 7. if you get enough damage your board will break and you will lose, so always tuck to reduce damage(refer to 5). 8. bir air=big points b. running from cops ---------------------- 1. if you want to get away from them then jump over obstacles or if you have a open area then just hold down X to out run them. 2. if you want to see the cop die, then keep running for about 20 secs. but dont loose him or it wont happen. he will die of a heart attack its funny. 3. if you beat the score and get caught by the cop then you will you wont beat the level. 4. if you beat the score and the cop dies or you get away you will beat the level. 5. while running from cops if you do tricks your points are tripled. c. grinding ------------- 1. to make a good grind you must come at the rail/ledge at a straight path like = is the rail - is the path * is the skater (right path)------* ============== * * / | / | (ok path) (wrong path) 2. if you come at the right path you will be able to grind longer before you will start to loose your balance, if you come at the wrong path you will most likely fall off right when you get on. the ok path you could hold it for a second or two then jump off 3. combine your grinds to make more points. 4. to balance yourself when grinding use left and right. 5. longer the grind the more points its worth so stay balanced. 6. do tricks into and out of grinds. d. score high --------------- ==================================================================================== [13. Secrets/Codes] ==================================================================================== Extra points: pause game, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and repeatedly press cirlce to increase your score 5,000 points at a time. -From: [email protected] Cabillerial: well its supposed to be a move, but since i cant do it it guess its a secret. well its like this it says you are about to do the trick, but it wont do it. (switchstance) L1 + O + left -From: [email protected] a. level secrets ------------------ new york, subway: at the right top of the level there is a hole in the wall you can goto into from the quarter pipe against the wall. you just come down the stairs to return to the main area los angeles, venice beach: in the street near the glass building is a plant you can launch off onto the redish building and if you go left there is a rail you can go down, or go right and jump the gap and continue across to get to a launch off the roof. los angeles, the courthouse: (saw this on the demo clip) 1. from the start to the left there is a sign that says under construction and a bump you can jump and wallride over the sign and there is a bowl in there to mess around in. get out the same way. 2. in the middle area there is a plant with a kicker on it, then you will land on this block thing and there is a bump and a rail to the right side or you can just jump off. ==================================================================================== [14.

Reviews] ==================================================================================== Review by phillipdc([email protected]) Thrasher Skate and Destroy might not be as fun as Tony Hawk, but it is very good and fun game to play. The crashes on this game are really fun to watch they go in slowmo and you body will get messed up, sometimes the splits(ouch). Gameplay(8/10) - The single player is just basicly go to a level and beat the score with a time limit, its fun to do and all, but there is alot of multiplayer options on this which makes it really really fun with friends. I dont like the grind system in this much you just have to get used to it I guess because you seem to loose balance faster then in Tony Hawk. Graphics(8/10) - The graphics are great, except that when you wreck it will mess up a little like you are going through something, but it still looks really cool. Control(7/10) - The controls are ok in the game if you like it when you have to hold O and left to do a 360 but while you are doing that you are turning left, which sucks because you will run into the wall or some shit. Replay(9/10) - You will replay this to beat your scores, or if you want to change your sponsors. Other then that on single player I wouldnt see why, but on multiplayer you would want to keep playing with the diffrent modes. Overall(8/10) - The game is really fun, and say its worth the money. I just didnt like the move and grind system at first but I got used to them now. I would suggest this as a buy if you like skating games, but if you are expecting another Tony Hawk then I dont think you will like it.
