Go! Go! Hypergrind is a 2003 skateboarding video game developed and published by Atlus for the GameCube.[1] It was released only in North America on November 18, 2003.[1] Development was led by Poponchi, a small group of developers at Atlus, with animation studio Spümcø of The Ren & Stimpy Show fame serving as a collaborative art design firm for the game, with founder John Kricfalusi acting as an executive producer. Despite being developed in Japan, it was never released in the region.

Plot

[edit]

Spümcø is holding auditions in "Toon World" for a new skateboarding cartoon called Go! Go! Hypergrind. In the Story mode, the player chooses one of the cartoon star hopefuls and attempts to impress Spümcø and pass the audition.

Gameplay

[edit]

Go! Go! Hypergrind allows players to select one of several wacky cartoon characters and skateboard through a variety of cel-shaded levels. The objective of the game is to steer characters into a variety of classic cartoon "mishaps", usually involving inflicting pain on the character in some way, and then chaining one mishap directly into another to create combos.

There is also a versus mode offering five different game types, which can be played with two players or against the computer.

[edit]

Go! Go! Hypergrind received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic, holding an average score of 67.[2] GameSpot gave the game a 7.9 praising the humor and presentation,[3] while IGN gave the game a 5.1 criticizing the skateboarding mechanics for its simplicity.[4]
