The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series bore many sequels, crossovers and deviations but to many, the first three are the best. With its crazy, arcade take on the extreme sport offering insane tricks, increasing challenges and iconic soundtracks, it sold millions.

Long story short, this changed everything. There wasn’t a massive demand for it, but that didn’t matter. Tony Hawk, the man who first landed a 900° spin on television, became the figurehead for a skateboarding game developed by Neversoft and Activision. In the surprising event that the last twenty two years of gaming have passed you by (the first game coming out in 1999), allow me to bring you up to speed. You don’t lose it, and thanks to this shiny remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, you never will again. The skills are still there, the muscle memory, the humming to Goldfinger’s ‘Superman’. I thought I was out.īut of course, when you’ve invested so much of your teenage years into something so iconic, you’re never really out. That had sealed the Birdman’s fate, what with being damn good and fans still clamouring for a fourth game. It didn’t besmirch the THPS legacy but reinvigorated it with its realistic(ish) take on skateboarding.

Then EA, in a rare twist of 2000’s goodness, brought out Skate. Project 8 had its awesome “Nail the Trick” feature, right before RIDE buried the series. The Jackass-inclusive ones weren’t funny, American Wasteland didn’t do anything special. I thought I was done with the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series. A shinier update to the already impressive looking remake from last year, is this worth the graphical (and monetary) leap? The Finger Guns review:
