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.
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.
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]
