    This is coming from someone who has achieved the platinum trophy and didn't play the original games these are remastered from: The skateboards, music, skater models, and maps are amazing (for the most part *cough cough* skate heaven *cough cough*).

The reason I say someThis is coming from someone who has achieved the platinum trophy and didn't play the original games these are remastered from: The skateboards, music, skater models, and maps are amazing (for the most part *cough cough* skate heaven *cough cough*). This game doesn't have any microtransactions and you can see the passion that went in from SOME of the game developers. The reason I say some is because there's a reason I'll never play this game again and scored it much lower than I would've wanted to despite loving skateboarding games; both games are packed full of bugs, glitches, and inconsistent mechanics. They're so bad that in comparison to other skateboarding games I've played that they're easily the worst and most overrated ones I've ever played. I can't tell you how many times I've glitched into walls of fallen through them and through the entire map. I've also fallen through rails and roofs. Sometimes the game wouldn't register my command inputs on both ps4 and ps5 with multiple controllers (trust me, it's not my controllers). There are times when I'd bail from the skateboard on completely flat land without jumping or doing any tricks - or my combo would randomly end. These bugs were a nightmare when I was doing the get theres. And on top of that, the monotonous grind to level 100 in a (buggy, undertested) game like this made me especially keen on never playing it again.… Expand

    if youre thinking about getting this game and playing online with your friend in your own lobby choosing between the greats like graffiti, free skate, HORSE, or trick attack. youre out of luck. instead you get cued into matchmaking with many other players and have ZERO control over what you play online. a step backwards from THAW which released 15 years ago and had the ability to playif youre thinking about getting this game and playing online with your friend in your own lobby choosing between the greats like graffiti, free skate, HORSE, or trick attack. youre out of luck. instead you get cued into matchmaking with many other players and have ZERO control over what you play online. a step backwards from THAW which released 15 years ago and had the ability to play any game type in a public or private lobby. this severly limits the longevity of the game for me, and while the gameplay is good, they really dropped the ball with the online play.… Expand

    I’m a true Tony Hawk OG, grew up playing this game in the glory days of PS1 Literally 1000’s Of hours, and I’d have to say I’m kind of disappointed with the remaster. The moves are not the same on the controller. You don’t catch as much air. It’s more difficult. I find myself board of playing it after being 20 minutes in. Honest truth.

    This game is a bad joke compared to the old games (1 and 2)!!
    It's all about graphics and nothing more!!

    Very clunky controls, horrible vert mechanics, terrible stat point allocation and builds. The differences are usually very drastic so you don’t even get rewarded for using all your stats. Game is very buggy you will phase through the ground, you will switch camera angles often, you will not get your proper inputs even when hard wired in, and the grind feature is clunky at best.

    This has to be one of the worst remakes I've seen to this day. Lazy and with less content than the originals (customization and park creator can't compare with previous THPS titles) and to top it all always-online requirement for PC version. Seriously, always online requirement on a remake? Of a single-player game?

    Naming this THPS is an insult to the originals.

    This game is horrible. It looks like a little child built these levels. I don't know where are from this people coming giving rating above 8+ child brain. What a waste of money same as previous version.

    Take off your nostalgia goggles off please. We all love thps 1&2 but this isn't the same. The customization is only for a created skater not the pros which is lame. You only complete goals once, making this game pretty useless after about 3 hours when you beat it. The park maker is a joke, literally thps3 has a better park creator.

    (I have never played tony hawk before this remake. ) I was browsing to the PSN store looking for a relaxing game than I saw Tony Hawk remake. After downloading start playing and know weeks later still hooked and love every second of it. This game is just fun and you should form your own opinion but this game in my opinion is a buy.

Its a nostalgic purchase I'll be waiting for a sale, $55 for the standard edition were im from and thats for 2 ps1 games.. no store,dlc or anything in the nature.. meanwhile ill play on my PSclassic with Spotify for the music. I hope you fell for the review copy hype from YouTube because it does wonders.. Now you know why people loved skate so much.. I believe the good reviews are from the generation thats too young too play the originals… Expand

    I played it with great expectations, but it was a game with great disappointment.
    It's boring and the feel of operation is not good.

    Take off your rose tinted glasses.
    This is a very good re-master of an old, one-dimensional game.
    They've improved everything but it doesn't detract that this is pretty much identical gameplay-wise as it was when the originals released. There is no way this game is a 10/10 In fact any reviews over 5/10 are delusional. Its a good game, but its the same as it was 20 years ago Its not    Take off your rose tinted glasses.

    Played in 2020 when it came out hoping they would have fixed certain things like the hard to get there challenge that are bugged and don't pop. The manual that does not work a lot of times etc etc. Game is fun to play to normal missions in. After that it becomes a frustrating mess because of the terrible coding of the skaters and the tricks that don't work properly.

    wish I had stuck with my nostalgia. The physics engines aren’t the same. They removed content. It’s just not the same and anyone rating it higher than a 5/10 is high. Absolutely high.

    What the developers of THPS 1 + 2 managed to achieve is nothing short of miraculous. During the first minutes with the game I was sure I had traveled back in time and only some new songs on the soundtrack convinced me otherwise. The remake feels exactly like the original game and, simply put, it is absurdly good. [11/2020, p.34]

    More than a simple re-release, Vicarious Visions has pulled off the impressive trick of delivering definitive versions of two legendary games. No fakie, this is the real deal. [Issue#181, p.97]

    An amazing helping of skating fun for the nostalgic players among you. This is a remake that perfectly encapsulates the qualities and atmosphere of the original games.
