Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 And 2 Review – Once Again Nailing The Trick ps3mfw.com
Forget the weird peripherals, bad sequels, and questionable ports that defined Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater in the series’ later years. Instead, remember the glory days of the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, because that’s where you’re going with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2.
By returning to the first two games in the franchise and modernizing them with changes large and small, developer Vicarious Visions reminds us why we fell in love with this series in the first place.
The overall structure remains completely intact: You select levels based on various locations around the globe, then hop on your skateboard to complete objectives like getting the high score before the time limit expires, collecting letters to spell out “skate,”
Vicarious Visions keeps the best parts of the game largely intact, but various enhancements, including a larger arsenal of tricks,
lifts these classics to new heights. Stringing together tricks feels amazing thanks to smoother controls, and the modern visuals look great in motion. ps3mfw.com
While these games are fun independent of nostalgia, as a fan of the original games, I loved how this release gives continual nods to the classic versions. Featuring every single real-life skater from those first two games, an enhanced create-a-skater mode,
this is a crowd-pleasing remaster bundle. Stepping back into the shoes of Tony Hawk and crushing a halfpipe as Goldfinger’s “Superman” comes over my speakers brought a smile to my face.
However, this bundle also adds several current-day skaters and a huge selection of new songs. By masterfully blending old with new, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 lands on a sweet spot.
Summary: This bundle of two of the most beloved skateboarding games of all time effectively recaptures the magic of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise.
Concept: Serve up modern versions of the first two Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, complete with new and returning skaters.
Graphics: With overhauled visuals, these 20-year-old games look right at home on current consoles.
Sound: Skating to these iconic soundtracks again feels great. The huge selection of new songs fit right in with the established vibe
Playability: Stringing together flip tricks, grabs, grinds, and manuals has never felt better thanks to tweaks that make the gameplay smoother
Entertainment: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is the best way to experience these two classic titles
