Activision has announced that Tony Hawk Ride is shipping to retail stores this week and to those that ordered it. The game shows off a new skateboard perhepreal. The game continues the Tony Hawk series with new improvements and gameplay tweaks. It might be a steep price tag, but its something new for everyone to try.

 “Tony Hawk: RIDE is THE new way to play.  It gives a whole new meaning to game night by allowing the entire family to challenge one another to competitions that are as fun to watch as they are to play,” said Rob Kostich, head of marketing, licensed products, Activision Publishing, Inc. “It’s the perfect activity for the entire family this holiday season…and anytime of the year.” 
 
“This is the game I’ve always wanted to make,” said legendary pro skater Tony Hawk. “The skateboard peripheral opens up a whole new level of interactivity and physicality, allowing players to control the action with their whole body. I can’t wait for everyone to jump on the board and ride.”

Tony Hawk Ride is now available multiplatform for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
