How Metascores Are Calculated

100 Classic Book Collection
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
In Tony Hawk's Motion players can twist, tilt and turn through numerous skateboarding sessions and for the first time in franchise history, the game brings snowboarding to its line-up adding to the more than 20 diverse mini-challenges available including new ones like Rail Hopper and Slalom and familiar ones like Hawk-Man and High Score. Once players finish grinding through locales like Tokyo, Dubai, Vermont and the Alps, they can switch gears and dip into the action-oriented puzzler Hue Pixel Painter. Uncovering sources of paint below the ground’s surface, players take Hue through various landscapes bringing color back to a dreary environment and defending against the Drabs who have set out to leave the world gray and bland. [Activision]

It's a rare thing when a company wants to roll the dice with a valued property, and the results sometimes turn out great. In this case, not so much.

A shadow of its former success, this is little more than a limited showcase for a peripheral. [Feb 2009, p.82]

IGN
A lacking package that players would do well to ignore; especially since the DSi (and lack of GBA port for the new motion pack) is on its way in a matter of months.

Someday, somebody is going to make something fun out of this concept, but the folks making this game haven't gotten there yet. [Jan 2009, p.91]

Cheap, dreary gameplay and awful controls. What less could you want? [Christmas 2008, p.78]

There's less meat on this than a turkey carcass after Boxing Day. [Feb 2009, p.68]

Pocket Gamer UK
Saddled with poor visuals, ineffective controls and a complete lack of engaging content, Tony Hawk's Motion is a crushing disappointment .

But decent tech is all for naught when paired with a bland and embarrassingly brief experience like Tony Hawk's Motion, which contains just four settings (two each for skate and snow), each with five total objectives.

Not even a bonus game, the paint-by-numbers Hue Pixel Painter, can save this mess. Avoid this Motion sickness at all costs.

Since you can pretty much exhaust the available gameplay within half an hour of switching the DS on, it seems likely that this curiously half-baked compilation was simply a way for Activision to use the Tony Hawk brand to get their motion sensing peripheral into the market. Yet so flimsy are the games that it feels like they simply bundled the internal tech demos designed to test the hardware and dressed it up as a commercial game.
