Tony Hawk Shred is a skateboarding sports game developed by Robomodo and published by Activision in 2010 for the Wii. The game attempts to bring a fresh experience to the Tony Hawk series by emphasizing motion-controlled tricks using a skateboard-shaped peripheral alongside the Wii Remote.
Players perform various skateboarding tricks and combos by physically mimicking movements on the balance board controller, aiming to complete challenges and compete in different modes. The game includes a career mode, multiplayer options, and tutorials designed to introduce new players to skateboarding gameplay.
Reception was generally negative, with critics pointing to the game’s limited control responsiveness, lack of depth, and underwhelming graphics. The peripheral was seen as gimmicky by many, and the title did not resonate well with long-time fans of the Tony Hawk franchise or casual players. Despite its ambition to innovate with motion controls, Tony Hawk Shred struggled to deliver a satisfying skateboarding experience on the Wii.
