Tony Hawk: Shred

Template:Game Tony Hawk: Shred, or THS, is the eleventh installment in the Tony Hawk series of video games. It is the successor to Tony Hawk: Ride, a peripheral-based, motion controlled skateboarding game.

Shred introduces a snowboarding mode to the series as well as "Avatar" and "Miis" supports on the Xbox 360 and Wii versions respectively. A "surfing" mode was worked on for the game, but was soon scrapped due to funds and short amount of time to work on it.

The initial price for the game was $120 for a bundle including the skateboard controller and approximately $50 for the stand-alone game. During its first week on sale in the United States, the game sold 3,000 copies; combined with the negative reception, the Tony Hawk franchise was put on hold.

In December 2011, Tony Hawk himself made it official at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards that the series would return in 2012 with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD.

Features

Snowboarding

It was the first game to include snowboards and snowboarding. The gameplay is the same as skateboarding but has some different tricks. This mode has different levels.

Avatar and Mii™ Mode

This game has a special, unlockable mode called Mii™ Mode/Avatar mode. You can choose your own Avatar (in the Xbox 360 version) and all your Mii's you created (in the Wii version). Only the characters change. The PS3 version doesn't feature this mode.
