The expanded trick roster also greatly increases your score potential. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 runs at a stable 60FPS, which gives the game a sense of flow and fluidity that far surpasses the original releases. It’s a good-looking game by modern standards, but more important is the frame-rate increase. Although the upgrade can’t hide the fact that the levels feel a bit sparse and empty in single-player games, the upgrade is otherwise excellent, with every level being rebuilt from the ground up. The visual and performance upgrade drag these games into the modern-day and damn if they don’t look great. The shadows of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 & 4, in particular, loom large over this package-for all its many qualities, these are games that are showing their age in a few key areas. Of course, in-between these early Tony Hawk games and the later awful ones, there were a bunch of other great Tony Hawk titles. When Tony (or whoever you choose to play as) lets out a joyful whoop as you land a big trick, it’s hard not to want to join in with a whoop of your own. The punk and ska-heavy soundtrack is back (with a mix of old classics and new tracks), the ridiculous gaps are right where you remember them, and those SKATE letters are still placed where you grabbed them the first time, 20 years ago. If you’ve played these games before, you can expect your muscle memory to kick in immediately on the first Warehouse level. That’s it that’s the review.Īfter the disaster of 2012’s floaty, wrong-headed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD, and the atrocious Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, this is the exact thing fans have been asking for.

Otherwise, it’s the same and it’s still bloody great.

It comes with updated graphics, an improved frame rate and the full moveset from THPS4, including reverts, spine transfers, a flatland trick roster and easier grind combos. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is exactly what it sounds like-the first two games in the series, but modernised.
