Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Reviews
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is the package fans have been waiting years for.
Overall, if you loved any of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games you are going to love this game. Whether its the feeling of nostalgia, the great gameplay, or even just the incredible soundtrack there is something for anyone and everyone in this remaster.
The nostalgia is strong with this one, but not a necessary component. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is just plain, good old-fashioned arcade fun. I think we could all use a healthy dose of that right now.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is possibly the best title in the franchise since it was born in 1999. The amount of content we have, the graphic quality, the perfection of its multiplayer system, profiles and challenges, and the quantity of options to make things easier for new players, they are a real joy. The best game of the genre is back in a big way.

“THPS 1 & 2 is one of the games that you must play, whether for nostalgia reasons or just to have a good time. The king of skating games is back, and it is better than ever”
Playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remastered gave me the same feelings I got at 9 years old when I first played the series and fell in love with the game, the music, and skateboard culture.
The greatest compliment we can give to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is that it's a very faithful remake of the original two classics. And for the first time in a long time, the franchise feels fresh again. The game does a great job at recapturing the magic of Pro Skater's early days while also modernising them for the current generation (despite a couple of wobbles), and now we can't wait to see where Activision takes the series next. Welcome back, Tony!
I just feel happy playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. After feeling disappointed with the re-release of another childhood gem of mine, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, I was worried this game was going to be another case of a poorly aged title that relied more on nostalgia than its actual quality. I’m so glad I was wrong.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is a title that manages to be incredibly nostalgic, but it's a modern exerpience at the same time.

Vicarious Visions has produced another excellent remake with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. It brings those PS1 classics to the modern era with a wonderful visual upgrade, rock solid performance, and all the features you'd expect of a game released in 2020. Most importantly, though, it retains the specific feel of the franchise at its best, delivering an addictive, fast-paced, arcade-like experience. Old fans can rest easy knowing that the Tony Hawk games are back on form, while new players can dive into the skateboarding world for the first time. This game is sick, bro.
A great remaster that brings memories to the series fans and it does its best to the classic THPS series, but it might not attracts the new players to this series.

THPS 1+2 feels constrained by the structure of the PS1 originals, but perhaps that was the right decision for now. It's been such a long time since any developer nailed the fundamentals of how to make a great Tony Hawk game, but Vicarious Visions has successfully brought back the original Neversoft magic.
As far as immediate arcade thrills go, few games can compete with the level of gratification you're guaranteed to get from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. If you enjoyed the originals or fancy seeing what all the fuss is about, you're in for an absolute treat either way.
This is the rebirth for Tony Hawk Pro Skater we’ve long waited for. Just as the N-Sane Trilogy was for Crash Bandicoot and Reignited was for Spyro, this is a lovingly built, high-quality remake that will hopefully lead to newer instalments in the years to come. Welcome back, Mr Hawk, You, most definitely, have still got it.
2020 has undeniably been the year of the remake. The year where game developers and publishers across the world have said, if you grew up in the ’90s, we are going to take your fondest gaming memories and rebuild them.. in 4K. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 makes zero apologies, it is a true rebirth of a game loved by millions and follows a tried and tested formula. Playing with the nostalgic feelings of so many is a brave move from the partnership of Vicarious Visions and Activision themselves.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is a smooth classic. The return of the original skaters with a handful of new characters makes it unique. It ticks every box for a solid remake and continues to impress the more you play.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is an example of what a remake should look like.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is emblematic of how good the original arcade skating formula is and how excellent Vicarious Visions is at remastering jobs. Everything here feels just as tight as those original titles but with a fresh coat of paint that will impress those who still play those PlayStation and N64 originals to this day. The quick runs and easy-to-learn controls make for an addictive experience, so you'll find yourself going for just one more run. The addition of online leaderboards and created levels give this game some serious legs, so THPS1+2 is a must-have for your gaming library. The only people who wouldn't enjoy this title are those who live and die by a sim skateboarding experience.
One of the greatest sports games of all time is back and every bit as good as you remember.
