In the mood for skateboarding one moment and snowboarding the next? In the Tony Hawk Shred game for Wii – you can get big air and skate like the pros all from the comfort of your home! The new Tony Hawk Shred game for Wii uses a innovative, motion sensing board controller and is packed with action.

My kids who are ages 9, 12 and 14 had way too much fun one-upping each other with crazy jumps and tricks as they navigated the various courses.  You stand on the special board controller and use your own body movements to control the rider through the courses which are filled with steep drops, huge jumps and gaps, arcade style game play and effects and special guest appearances from pro athletes like Chaz Ortiz, Torah Bright, Shaun White and more! Within minutes of starting game play, they figured out all the game lingo, how to jump – even how to skateboard in a handstand, and picked up some cool moves.

Check out the trailer video to get the full effect of how the board sensor works to control game play or visit the official game site for even more game features:

This game is fun for everyone – you can pick your player, your course, your skill level and whether you hit the skatepark or snowboard on the slopes. The game and skateboard bundle retail for about $100, but you can win one here! We were sent the Tony Hawk Shred Skateboard bundle to review but we received a second one, as well, so we are giving that one away to one lucky reader!

Disclosure: Although I was sent a Tony Hawk Shred bundle to review and one to giveaway, the opinions expressed in the review are entirely my own.

Highlights of the game include:

• Learning the best techniques of gymnastics with the guidance of Shawn Johnson
• Work your way from amateur to champion in “Leaping Hill Academy”
• Use Wiimote, Nunchuk, and Balance Board in events – from the looks of the video, this is going to require some serious coordination
• Train in all gymnastic competitions: uneven bars, balance beam, floor, and vault
• Compete in career mode or take on friends in multiplayer

Below, Shawn Johnson does an interview on why she decided to make the Gymnastics video game:

I will definitely update this post once I get a chance to play the game with my kids – something tells me it might be a focus of some Saturday afternoon video game challenges! You can order Shawn Johnson Gymnastics through Amazon, now.
