Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Reviews
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 faithfully follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, and even with some omissions and additions compared to the original material, it remains accurate, addictive, and extremely fun not only for longtime fans, but also for the next generation of virtual skaters.

Thankfully, this collection still shines with addictive gameplay and a wealth of content that will keep you hooked for hours. Visual upgrades breathe new life into these classics for a modern audience. However, it's not without flaws: Pro Skater 4 strays a bit from its original design, some odd choices affect the overall experience, and the heavily altered soundtrack is a noticeable letdown.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a must-have for fans of the series, offering yet more outrageous skateboarding antics along with stunning visuals. Purists might not like that the format of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 has been changed, and that most of the music here is new, but embrace these updates and you'll have a very good time indeed. Also, the new skateparks that have been introduced are fantastic.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is a fun and unique experience. On the one hand, we have a high-quality technical remake, exciting and addictive gameplay, and a decent amount of challenging and entertaining content that can captivate players for dozens of hours. The restoration of old stages and the addition of new maps have also been accompanied by satisfying subtlety. On the other hand, controversial decisions, such as the use of a time limit in Career and ignoring a large part of the series’ musical heritage, could spoil the experience for long-time fans. For those who connect with sports titles, this remake is a hugely entertaining product built on one of the best gameplay formulas in sports game history.

This version lands the trick mechanically, but it doesn’t bring the whole soul of the series with it. It’s a polished ride, but one that leaves a few scuff marks on the memory.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is another great entry in the series that's bound to prove popular on Xbox Game Pass and beyond. Developer Iron Galaxy has done an excellent job bringing these legendary maps into the modern era, and the gameplay feels just as good as it did in THPS 1+2. The structural changes to the fourth game along with the significantly altered soundtrack may irk some people, but there's still a ton of fun to be had overall - and now we're just hoping Tony Hawk's Underground 1+2 becomes a reality!
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 es un juego que relaciono con mi época de rebeldía y búsqueda de identidad. Además de asimilarlo de forma natural por mi gusto por las patinetas, la música del juego tuvo un impacto importante para adentrarme en el punk rock y otros géneros alternativos. Eso me llevó a seguir las […]

Overall, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is an absolutely fun title if your main exposure to the series was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. You're essentially getting more of the same, but the formula was already solid enough that getting more of what you know in newer locations is a good thing. The conclusion is more complicated if you were an aficionado of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. With the types of changes and omissions made, a portion of the game feels more like it was inspired by the fourth mainline entry in the series rather than a remake or remastering effort. Purists will be disappointed by these decisions. If you aren't bothered by the changes, you'll find this to be a very good title overall.
While the 1+2 remake was excellent, Activision's track record with the series since the mid-2000s has been spotty at best. I'm thrilled that the skateboarding in this game feels just as good as it did 20+ years ago and that this goes beyond just a simple remake, with so many fun and enjoyable post-game challenges that builds off of the foundation. Something is lost in Tony Hawk 4's transition to the 2-minute timer, but I still had a great time saving Painter Neal from the shark in San Francisco. And the quality of the original levels Iron Galaxy made makes me hopeful for the future of the series, whether it leads to a brand new game or an attempt at remaking Tony Hawk's Underground. Regardless of whether or not you bring nostalgic baggage for the format from the fourth game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is an excellent video game that will keep you kickflipping and reverting to increasingly higher scores for a long time.
True to its original philosophy, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 returns with a fresh look, featuring numerous changes and improvements that remind us why the series was the king of the genre for years. Beyond its free skating, challenges, combos, moves, and visual enhancements, this comeback is pure, unadulterated love for the world of skateboarding. Iron Galaxy brings back the roguelike format of the first episodes and invites us to crush the stages over and over again to become the best skaters with a range of modes and challenges, competitions, and free skating that is very difficult to resist.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is kind of "more of the same". It retains the gameplay and progression system with only minimal changes. While this offers a great experience, it doesn't fully maintain or preserve the original game. Despite this, the game continues to maintain the quality of the first collection and the maps from the original titles, along with new tracks created for this title. However, the changed gameplay of the fourth installment makes us wonder if we will see a final collection of this franchise or perhaps the next step will be to see an evolution in the Tony Hawk games.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 brings back the thrill of classic arcade skating with fluid gameplay, gorgeous level design, and creative new modes. While some design choices—especially around THPS 4—may disappoint longtime fans, the overall experience remains a highly enjoyable tribute to the golden age of skateboarding games.

A treat for both veterans and newcomers, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 shows why the series is still just as relevant all these years later. A modern classic.
In some ways, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 feels more like a level pack than a sequel, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth your time. These games are still great, and most of these stages are still incredibly well designed. I can’t recommend it quite as strongly as I would the series’ last entry, but if you’ve finished Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and you’re still craving more, then you should just right into this release.
A mostly competent remake with some bewildering gameplay decisions concerning ‘Pro Skater 4’. A sometimes beautiful looking game that gives fun 2 minute blasts of classic arcade skating action. Modifiers to make the experience enjoyable for first time skaters and the hardened elite of yesteryear. A myriad of online park creations add theoretical replay-ability. Essentially it is a test of your nostalgia lens.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 offer a sense of nostalgia in relation to skateboarding games from years gone by, though at the expense of having rather stale gameplay.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is an Arcade Skate Game. It is a remake of two games bundled. It is not always identical to the original, but this does not press the fun. A lot of practice and failure is a requirement for the coolest tricks. It is certainly not easy. Skate pleasure is again guaranteed for the Skatefan.

If you’re expecting a 1:1 remake of both games, you’re effectively there when it comes to levels, but it’s not perfect. If you’re not concerned with the faithfulness to Pro Skater 3 and 4, these games are bigger and better than 1+2 and well worth it.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is an impressive follow-up to Vicarious Visions’ swan song. The exhilarating skateboarding mechanics remain as fun as ever, demanding skill to execute showcase-worthy maneuvers. Despite some content being trimmed from its Pro Skater 4 counterpart, it delivers a solid, all-in-one package with stunning visuals and an excellent soundtrack.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is an excellent game that continues the legacy of the previous remake: revitalizing the franchise. The vast roster of skaters, the freedom to create their own creations, and the sheer number of challenges promise many hours of gameplay for a wide range of audiences. However, omitting most of the original soundtrack and preserving THPS4's mission structure, in addition to removing classic stages, really ends up being a heavy negative point.
