Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Reviews
Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” kick-starts the game with the line “You win some, lose some […].” That’s exactly how I feel about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4. Despite the outstanding gameplay, level design, and stable performance, this is not a faithful recreation of the originals.
I enjoyed most of my time with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4. It's a reminder of my younger years, and even though I can't see the scrapes and bruises anymore, I'm still fond of every bail off a skateboard I've had in my years. It's still just as fun to get back on the virtual board and see a world filled with familiar faces and the sounds of those tensor trucks hitting the pavement.
The Tony Hawk Pro Skater games are a pinnacle of my childhood and for gamers like me, we've been eating well, and this new installment is no different. Now, there are small things I would change as mentioned in the video and some things I wish were there but by no means do the "bad" outweigh the good. This is an objectively good game and a great step in a direction that I think will lead to more remakes (just give me THUG 1 + 2, please!!!) and possibly even completely new entries in the THPS franchise (that don't suck; we don't talk about THPS5). A fantastic game for seasoned gamers and beginners alike.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is an exceptional remastered package that expertly blends classic gameplay with modern polish. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or a newcomer, its smooth controls, expansive options, and rewarding progression system make it a must-play. Despite a few soundtrack gaps and minor UX quirks, the dual-game experience, high replay value, and customisation features more than justify dropping in. Even if skateboarding isn’t your thing, the sheer fun factor makes this title worth grinding for.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is a heartfelt tribute to the series, a remake that captures the essence of two timeless classics. Iron Galaxy modernizes gameplay and levels with style, delivering depth, adrenaline, and rich content. While technical hiccups and a divisive take on THPS 4's career mode hold it back slightly, this is still a vibrant slice of gaming history, reborn.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is the perfect summer game, whether you want the full blown 4K TV experience or something to take with you to the parks and jam with. This game is a delight that continues to thrill with a kick-ass soundtrack, fun-filled objectives, fantastic environmental variety and a deep roster with compelling cross-platform multiplayer. Removal of some beloved songs and THPS 4 Career Mode may upset some folks, but what’s been added here is an awesome package that will suit series newcomers as much as vets who have been craving a bit of something old with something new
Despite the changes to the campaign in part four and the soundtrack, this is a worthy remake that relies heavily on the gameplay. Most of the levels feel fantastic to skate through for a few minutes, but also for hours. It's not a perfect remake, unfortunately, but what's here is heavenly. Let's hope that 'Tony Hawk's Underground' does get a fully intact remake. If it ever comes.

Pro Skater 3 shines in this modernization, while Pro Skater 4 is stripped down in terms of content compared to the original.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is built for everyone, regardless of skill set; you’ll all have an incredible experience with this remake. I highly recommend that you get this, regardless of whether you have to pay the retail price or install it on Xbox and PC Game Pass.
While Pro Skater 4’s shift away from its open-world structure may disappoint fans of the original, and the soundtrack misses some iconic tracks, there’s no denying Iron Galaxy put in the work to make both games feel cohesive. In the end, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 offers two more chances for players to relive their skating heyday while offering a new generation a piece of history through a modern lens.
In the end, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 hits that rare nostalgic sweet spot. It doesn’t just repackage a classic in a way that feels cheap like other games – it refines it in ways that matter. The gameplay is tight, the visuals are slick and polished in the best way, the soundtrack is phenomenal, and the level design holds up impressively well. Sure, the omission of Pro Skater 4’s story elements is a head-scratcher, but it doesn’t take away from what’s here. This is a return to form that feels both like a love letter to the past and a reminder that the Tony Hawk series still has plenty of life left. It’s fun, it’s fast, and it proves that some legends never really fall out of style.
It may not be a faithful recreation of two of the best video games ever made, but whether you’re a long-time fan or newcomer, THPS 3+4 is absolutely worth playing.
These new remakes are highly entertaining, immediately gripping and hard to put down. However, the simplification of the career mode and the soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired. Despite this, it's a very entertaining experience.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is more of the same in a way, but is that exactly a bad thing? The previous remake collection showcased how to revive these games with a brand new presentation, and this sequel follows the same premise, whilst also trying to adapt Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 into a gameplay loop it wasn’t originally designed for. The results are still good, don’t get me wrong, but you’ll need some time getting used to its new format. Nevertheless, there’s no way I can or should complain about this lovely nostalgia nuke.
It must be said, however, that it lacks a bit of optimization , especially in the Pro Skater 4 maps, where nasty frame drops can ruin an otherwise perfect session in half a second. Rounding out the package are a few minor bugs and glitches that add more color than anything else to a game like this.
