When it comes to some of the rip-off games, I'd imagine they would say exactly that. Like the Son of the Lion King thing for example. Can't believe they didn't get sued.
Funny thing is that the first map/spot is a real one in Vilnius, Lithuania , I live not far from it. It's a local beloved skatespot and I remember back in the day when the game was released it got so much hype because of the fact it had the famous spot, everyone was buying the crap game, afterwards no one was really talking about, it became sort of a taboo.
Yep, at 1:26 I suddenly got a lot of Caddicarus and Tennings PTSD flashbacks. That logo of theirs is legitimately the best thing they've ever made, and they probably commissioned a graphic design firm for it.
@@AfterBurnerTeirusu Nah, they published hundreds of games, but none of them were good. The excuse is really the low cost. It was easily a publisher I avoided. I don't believe Phoenix Games ever made games themselves. They were a publisher, consisted of only 6 people, a Dutch company. They were not like a Davilex.
@@AfterBurnerTeirusu Phoenix Games NEVER developed any games themself. They just acted as a Publisher for low budget/amateur/bedroom developers and went out of business in 2008. I wouldn't call the Touge series good though. Atlus was always extremely mediocre and that is just a lame racing game with bad controls and borderline ps1 graphics.
Ooh, it was made by THOSE guys? Those 'games' they made before weren't games, they were more or less glorified power point presentations on a disc. Compared to those things, this is almost a masterpiece. The worst part is that the levels itself look actually pretty decent? Not amazing or anything and they play terrible in this game. But if you'd port them into THUG Pro or something, they'd might work okay enough. So if anyone there actually cared, it was the level designer.
I played snow whiten and the seven clever boys. It was from a game with a unskippable cut scene at the start and it has some mini games like puzzles and stuff. I didn't get past the puzzle game because the game was slowly slowing down until it was going at 1 fps.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Abdullah Boston i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I've got a game called '5 Star Racing' that was released on the PlayStation 1 in 2003 by Phoenix. The music in the game is quite good and the detail of the cars are alright but it's very limited to gameplay and handling.
I was literally having flashbacks the second I saw that Phoenix Games logo. Edit: After watching more of this video, I can say with confidence that we owe Robomodo an apology, because while they made the worst Tony Hawk game, they didn't make the worst skateboarding game. This "game" makes THPS5 look like Breath of the Wild in comparison.
Omfg! I played this when I was growing up. I bought a PS2 and games from a flea market and this was one of the games. I TOTALLY blocked this from my memory.
As an amateur game designer, this is *disgusting* - this game clearly wasn't playtested at all, even by the devs - and playtesting is the absolute *CORE* of game design. These people don't deserve to call themselves developers - average Mario Maker player is more competent designer (because Mario Maker forces you to playtest your levels)
You aren't even versed in English enough to make judgements on anyone else's English. Geoffrey Chaucer was the greatest English poet of the middle ages. He was the master and definer of English before Shakespeare and probably more impactful. This is a direct quote from his most famous book: "Youre tale anoyeth al this compaignye. Swich talkyng is nat worth a boterflye" Language is about expression first. Grammar and spelling are only good if they directly benefit articulation. In fact, masterful authors purposefully misspell and ignore certain grammar basics to better fit what they are trying to express. So, chill with the 'Brits r dum' rhetoric, you didn't confuse 'collecter' with some other word did you? It was a blatant misspelling but not a bad one and not unexpected when you churn out titles, that usually take 2 years, in 5 months. I'm ranting because people go apeshit online over harmless spelling mistakes, it's rock stupid and I'm tired of it. I've won school and county-level spelling bees, I'm never even persecuted for spelling and it still irks me.
@@calska140 I am unsure as to why you are replying to me. It seems your comment would be better directed to Rad Rat rather than me. I was pointing out the irony in saying British people are spelling impaired...
Fun fact: PACCIE is not a real game. The cover art was made as a proof-of-concept of sorts. And as for the cover art, they stole a picture from 2003 that was used to test CGI ray tracing
I do want to point out that you do indeed notate time with ' - minutes and " - seconds. so for example 4'20" is 4 minutes 20 seconds. Bless your soul for playing this game.
It was developed by Lithuanian shovelware creators Uxus Games and published by Phoenix Games. There is also a localized PC version called "Vilniaus riedlentės: gatvės stilius" (Skateboards of Vilnius: Street Style). The first level is in Vilnius cathedral square. Of course in reality there is no skatepark there, but it's still a place where skaters gather.
"Welcome back to Rad Rat Video, a channel where I talk about skate history, and topics as well as please the sadistic and masochistic pleasures many, as well as myself will put myself through on an emotional level playing skating's shovelwear two to three times a week...(I'm dead inside)"
Wait, 3D renders? Actual gameplay outside of a coloring book? This is one of the few games by this developer that actually isn't just a crummy movie attached to a coloring book lol. This is what they do when they put in effort.
A computer programmer fell asleep on his keyboard at work *AND ACCIDENTALLY CREATED THIS MASTERPIECE* This is somehow worse than anything you could find at the dollar store. Happy to see you're making videos again though, thank you!
ok, I once borrowed myself street skater 2 from a friend, when I was a kid. the game pissed me off so much, that eventually, I scratched up the cd and threw it out of my window into the garden. it was a burned disc, so it wasn't that bad but my friend never found out what happened to his street skater 2 xD but *THIS* game looks worse!
I can tell you that it's so bad because of the budget. "Use a stock image" that costs money. Investing in animators cost money. It's all to do with budget which clearly they had a total of £0.
"Mom I want Tony Hawk"
"We have Tony Hawk at home"
The Tony Hawk at home:

@7.62x39 sucks Tom Hank's pro skater
Simpsons skateboarding
*actually, literally nothing in the end*
1.45 that's not a good thing to boast about
You think Caddy would come to your house to give you a kiss on the lips? You actually figured out how to finish the game!
Kudos to you
Yuhhhuh... GOOOFYYYYYYYY!!!!

I can't believe that he reviewed two bad games in a row please review something good so you can't torture yourself something like ssx 3
one of these ssx games was soooooo gooood =)
fizzpeakgamer 13 SSX3 is the best game ever
@@fernandoreyes680 ssx3 is just snowboarding perfection
@@computerpastiche Word. 10/10 game no doubt
no tricky and on tour was better
I imagine every skater destined for Hell will be forced to skate in a universe with physics modeled after this game.
Thanks, I hate this
extreme boards and blade would like a word
"why is there a pyramid in the middle of the bowl?"
my local skatepark:
"hold my beer"
I remember my parents coming home with this.. never have I ever been so heartbroken.
Dayum.
So then what happened after that? Please tell me they got you a tony hawk game as a apology.
When you see the Phoenix Games logo, you *know* it's bad.

"The grind meter is a physical object"
Ok so can you grind the grind meter?
4:23 sounds like my car when the battery is dead.
If you grew up in the UK during the mid to late 00s you know the absolute poop of Phoenix games
Have you ever spotted them in actual shop?
@@videogamerka0009 yeah back in the day corner shops in the uk would sell them and budget ps1 games of similar low quality
another great review but don't punish yourself too much play something good next pls hahah
Idk man. I like watching the torture
And here I thought that Rocket Power game was ass. This makes Tony Hawk 5 look like game of the year.
I don't know if I should be excited or incredibly sorry you're finally playing a Phoenix game
more like, subsidized clorox
4.48 that collection sound sounds like a canary dying
Didn't really believe you, thought it was hyperbole... then I saw the Phoenix Games logo lmao
You were unnervingly good at sounding like a 90s "mega rad" voiceover actor.
This game made Aron so sad the thumbnail looks like every person in stained glass windows in churches
I can't believe you managed to pull through this one, thanks for the coverage man. Always love your vids

'Maybe I'm just sick because I realize my life has lead me to a point where I play games like this in my free time' 😂😂😂😂
This game is legit pissing me off. I feel frustrated for you lol.
Just be glad it wasn't the Turbo Extreme edition
I remember watching you back when you would give trick tips in your drive way. 👍🏻👍🏻
I lol'ed so hard when you said "is he mongoing?"
Let's gooo 50k subs yo! Congrats Rad Rat keep up the great videos man!

Rad was lenient when he said early PS2 quality graphics. This legit looks worse than Pro Skater 2 on PS1 lmao
I think we had a Lithuanian version of this game. The first level is based of Vilnius, Cathedral square.
I'm so glad you're still making videos. They are always entertaining and I love watching them. Keep it up Rad Rat :)
I’m surprised that they were able stay in business for the amount they did
XD for sure
Hello. What is your opinion on land paddling, wind skate, kitewing skating and many more variations of skateboarding. Thank you
Gayyyyyy
I adore how much you look like existentially depressed Tony Hawk in the thumbnail for this video
I love your content man, never touched a skateboard in my life but your stuff is so good man
Get a skateboard and learn man, it's awesome. Never too late to start.
You should try out Razor Freestyle Scooter. It's a THPS ripoff... but with scooters. It's on PS1 and N64. There's something very strange about it.
It's not terrible though. Not good but eh
Robot's
Damn....even ESPN X Games: Skateboarding looks better
You should see all the other “games” made by Phoenix games
> *PHOENIX LOGO*
Here we go again bois! LMAO
Omfg! I played this when I was growing up. I bought a PS2 and games from a flea market and this was one of the games. I TOTALLY blocked this from my memory.
The moment i heard phoenix games.. oof.. i got dalmatians 3 flashbacks..
Red flag when you hear phoenix games
Skateboard Madness: The Wrath of Jonathan
Rumour has it that some Phoenix games weren't even licensed but used the cases from other games which have the hologram logo
Phoneix Games has a game called Xtreme Boarders/Precision Boarding
Ah yes, skate at the famous spots hosting "the globe's skateboarding events" like... small skate park and business plaza area.
Radical!
lol you voice on the reading the back. its just missing a gnarly at the end
The game is basically a kid that started off on vert, learned a couple flip tricks and said; "Screw it, I want to be sponsored."
Oh joy another video about Skateboard Madness: the wrath of JONATHAN!
3:42 this just sounds like an old battery powered Nerf blaster.
yooo that grind sound is fkn hilarious 🤣 sounds like a squeaky mattress lmao
you ever played eyetoy antigrav? I remember it being a fairly decent time, but finding an eyetoy setup could be a pain

Phoenix games oh lord... they made "Snow white and the 7 clever boys" -- the worst game that was ever released on PS2 lmao.
I didn't know it was the snow white and the 7 clever boys studio LOL now it all makes sense
Seems fun in a weird way. Like a memorable experience because of the weird hard learning curve it took to get good at it .
I have nightmares about being a castaway on an island stuck with a game exactly like this.

SNOOOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN CLEVER BOOOOOYS
Oh its Phoenix games that makes sense
9:36 actually that's Americans.
It looks like a game that was made as a prop for a film with a 5 second scene showing a kid playing a skateboard game
why did they let these people publish this crap game.

Thank you for making content man I really enjoy it.
Try the boards and blades games
if you're checking weird ps2 PAL games, check Skate Attack, pretty bizarre ps2 jet set radio kinda game but with skates
This is genuinely one of my favourite videos on the internet
Lmao at 6:18, he went through the arch and not up the ramp as intended.
thanks for taking one for the team! haha
I have never seen a games camera be so broken
Like I've seen plenty of broken cameras but that level of flipped and fucked, never. Amazing
Oh no! Not Phoenix games!

Lost my shit with that "snow white and the seven clever boys". What an amazing world we live in, right?
The font of this game on the front cover, looks like is literally from The Loud House!
This is why skateboarding games shouldn't be made without the inclusion of an actual skater telling the devs how shit works
I remember all those games. 5€ at the grocery store. I still see them sometimes, ha!
Burn them
Even worse than Simpsons skateboarding? I played that game the other day and me and my friend found it hilariously bad.
Did the game have any music you muted for the video?
The kid that got this instead of tony hawks, that did make me laugh 😂
1:35 just listening to that bit hurt.
Wait, 3D renders? Actual gameplay outside of a coloring book?
This is one of the few games by this developer that actually isn't just a crummy movie attached to a coloring book lol. This is what they do when they put in effort.
