Just picked up this game. It's a ton of fun and definitely unlike anything out there in iphone games. However there is a certain learning curve to get all the tricks down and it is kinda weird to be constantly looking down instead of forward like in real world skating.

Ya it looks fun but is it worth the money?

Haha, of course! It's a great innovative title for the iPhone. I've been playing it a ton, and even just skating around in Jam Session mode is great. My high score in competition is 241,861. I'm hoping for more parks and tricks in new updates :D. So far, ngmoco, illusion labs, ATOD AB seem to be the most impressive game devs/publishers.

the physics and graphics are both excellent
I had a real finger board and it's pretty close to actually doing tricks on the finger board.

I was on the fence and thought I'll wait for a price drop but I caved and got it anyway.

I picked this up the other day too and I'd have to say it is WELL worth the money! Very fun!

This is my favourite game to date. It's absolutely brilliant and well worth the money. The developers also seem very responsive to feedback & suggestions. Check out the suggested features page on their website - www.touchgrind.com. Looks like they're working on an online park editor!
