Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

Best skateboarding hope they make thug1+2 remastered and thps 3+4

Plot

A remaster of the first two games in the Tony Hawk's franchise. It's set to bring back original levels, pro skaters, tricks, modes, and songs from the iconic soundtrack

Cast

The usual roster of Hawk associates such as Chad Muska, Kareem Campbell, Bob Burnquist and Eric Koston and weirdly Jack Black as Office Dick.

Verdict

I grew up with Tony Hawks games and became positively god like at them due to a combination of the hours I put in and them and myself just naturally clicking with the game and the controls. The thing is I never truly fell in love with them until THUG & THUG 2 namely Tony Hawks Underground and the wackiness of it all by comparison (Especially THUG 2). The trouble is that set the bar so high that coming back to Pro Skater quite frankly makes them look bad by comparison.

Don't get me wrong these are fantastic titles and as a remastered bundle they're essential for fans of the series but for me it makes me frustrated that this will also likely be as close as I come to playing the Underground games again which are simpler superior in my opinion. They're Saints Row 3, these titles are Saints Row 2 and I mean that analogy in multiple ways.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1&2 are great titles, easy to pickup but brutal to master.

Rants

I miss the good ol' days with couch coop games, Tony Hawks was one of my most played. The trouble is I'd mastered the game to such an extent I was unbeatable so friends found themselves adjusting their strategy and would sabotage my combos by crashing into me. Good times, bring back couch gameplay!

Breakdown

Very addictive Lots of content Solid soundtrack Pales in comparison to what came later Merciless difficulty spikes.

It's a little overwhelming how good this game is. Classic feel with perfect modern touches. I'm addicted.

An awesome remake that surpasses the originals, recommended for fans and newcomers. Seriously, go out and buy this, it's definitely worth it.

Amazing game is one of the best remakes in gaming history and one of the best skateboarding games ever made.

The classics are back only adapted to the new graphics and more modern gameplays, and it works, even being a reamake you can feel at the same time the classic and have fun with the new contents and mechanics of flip, grab, and other tricks. It's well built, and it's even worth trying to play. The graphics are great, well modeled and very few bugs, many different characters but unfortunately it doesn't have the spiderman.

The game style is ARCADE, with lots of combos and adapted physics. It's not the skate franchise style that is simulator.
