    Couldn't have done a more faithful and impressive remake of two fantastic legendary games. With the addition of some of the moves from later games such as reverts, this is the definitive THPS experience. The online modes are fun. The challenges are fun. The unlockables are satisfying. The levels themselves feel so good to skate in. The soundtrack, new and old, is mostly great.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 is a concentrate of pure skate joy. The strange hybrid between remastered and remake of Vicarious Vision brings back a piece of video game history in the best possible form. There is some technical naivety from time to time, but overall the return of Birdman is wonderfully fun to play, beautiful to look at, and is capable of offering pure entertainment for countless hours, in the face of a slim and immediate game structure, enriched. for this purpose from many challenges, multiplayer and park editor. It was hard to ask for more, but now we want a new chapter. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 is a pure expression of joy, vitality and gameplay.

    Perfect remaster. As a vet of the series - this game feels perfect. The physics and controls feel almost exactly the same as the original. Love the addition of the manual to THPS1 levels, and including of some current skaters. The soundtrack is great, the new stuff fits nicely with the original tracks. Hats off to Vicarious Visions, and I hope we'll see the third one remastered as well.

When I heard the news they were going to remaster the first two, I was happy but I also thought it was going to be the same game with just a small coat of paint over top of it. What I actually got was the first two games remade completely from scratch on new hardware, a deep character customizer, hundreds of challenges and skaters to play and max out, a very smooth and fun multiplayer experience, and one of the best games of the year. This game is really phenomenal for what it is, and that’s a super fun and addictive skater game. To me, this is the best skater game ever made and I’m excited to see where they go next. 9.5/10.

    Let’s face it: if you grew up gaming in the 2000s, you were aware of the ā€œTony Hawkā€ series. Before the days of Activision putting out yearly ā€œCall of Dutyā€ games, ā€œTony Hawkā€ was their yearly franchise, and boy, was it hard to avoid. Even as someone that wasn’t the series’ most hardcore fan, I have plenty of fond memories playing games like ā€œTony Hawk’s Underground 2: Remixā€ and ā€œTonyLet’s face it: if you grew up gaming in the 2000s, you were aware of the ā€œTony Hawkā€ series. Before the days of Activision putting out yearly ā€œCall of Dutyā€ games, ā€œTony Hawkā€ was their yearly franchise, and boy, was it hard to avoid. Even as someone that wasn’t the series’ most hardcore fan, I have plenty of fond memories playing games like ā€œTony Hawk’s Underground 2: Remixā€ and ā€œTony Hawk’s Downhill Jamā€ in my childhood. But while the original ā€œTony Hawk’s Pro Skaterā€ games are among some of the most beloved games of all time, the series started to drop off after the ā€œTony Hawk’s Undergroundā€ games, seemingly bottoming out with games like ā€œTony Hawk: Rideā€ and ā€œTony Hawk: Shred,ā€ gimmicky titles that led to the series going on hiatus. It seemingly couldn’t get worse, but after a few loose attempts at reviving the franchise, 2015’s ā€œTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5ā€ was such a desecration for the series that it damn well seemed to officially kill it. In a blaze of glory, though, the franchise has returned with ā€œTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2,ā€ a remake of the first two iconic games made by none other than Vicarious Visions, who previously handled the fantastic ā€œCrash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.ā€ That in mind, I had high expectations that they would deliver a great remake…but little did I expect that it would be a remake THIS great.
    ā€œTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2ā€ nails everything that a great remake should: instead of simply repackaging the original games, this remake takes those original games and retains their spirit, while modernizing it just enough for new players. The controls are fluid, the level design is constantly stellar, and the goals are challenging without feeling too overwhelming. I also appreciate the presence of gameplay mods that make the game a lot easier. I know that these additions might break the game, and many purists might not enjoy them, but for people like me who suck at games like this, it’s nice that Vicarious Visions understood that and made the game accessible and easy to pick up and play (also, the sheer wonkiness the game provides with mods enabled is worth it by itself, even if you just turn them on for a quick Free Skate). The graphics are also pretty stunning, and it’s wonderful seeing how well-crafted these levels are. From the neat Neversoft tributes and posters in the Hangar, to the beautifully-realized scope of Philadelphia, the levels in this game are a wonder to behold. And need I say more about the soundtrack? It’s amazing stuff, and whether you’re listening to tracks from the original games, or the new tracks that have been added, all of them work excellently in the context of the game. In every way, this game is crafted with such care, and it’s just fantastic to see a ā€œTony Hawkā€ game turn out this awesome.
    I can’t really say that I had any major problems with the game, so instead of giving negatives in this section, I’m going to add one thing I hope for the future: now that ā€œTony Hawkā€ seems to be back and in good hands, I’d really like to see what they could do next with a campaign-driven ā€œTony Hawkā€ game. As exciting and fun as it is to accomplish the missions in this game in a certain amount of time, as someone that grew up on ā€œTony Hawk’s Underground 2: Remix,ā€ I loved the game’s campaign a lot (from what I played), and I would love to see how that could be explored in a new game. Whether or not Activision goes with a ā€œTony Hawk’s Undergroundā€ remake or a wholly new game next is beyond me, but with how much they’ve nailed this game’s style, I really hope the next ā€œTony Hawkā€ game gives the campaign style a try.
    Overall, though, ā€œTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2ā€ is genuinely one of the best remakes I’ve ever played. It’s a game that stays true to what the original games did, while making the necessary changes to help keep them modern for a new audience. In a way, I feel like games this pure don’t come along often enough, and it’s such a great thing to see Activision and company FINALLY handle this legendary series with the respect it deserves. I only hope that continues on into the future, and I can’t wait to see what comes next, but for now…play this remake. It’s absolutely worth every second. Welcome back, Tony. We’ve missed ya.
    Final rating: 10 out of 10 ā€œFantasticā€

    Almost perfect, but unable to play with friends online and overall poor multiplayer options brings it down to 8. Be aware: The game sells DLC to raise funds for war criminals, don’t buy the unite dlc.

    I will rate 10/10 when the multiplayer is fixed and/or they stop raising funds for war criminals.

THPS 1+2 is a remake done so very right, levels have more atmosphere, personality and feeling of scale (they feel familiar yet somehow much bigger) and the game takes the best from the series in terms of controls and moves refining them to make a game that’s a lot of fun to play.

    The soundtrack makes a triumphant return with the classics from the likes of Goldfinger and Papa Roach from the first two games. There are new tracks which are a mixed bag but you’ll hear plenty of familiar songs from the time. The roster also makes a return, older but no less awesome with favourites such as Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen alongside the new blood of skaters such as Nyjah Huston and Aori Nishimura.

    The game has tons to do ranging from the content of the first two games to challenges for every skater once you have cleared all the stage objectives. Create a park will give you endless user created parks to play with, I do wish they had scoreboards but can be good fun themselves either way, unlockable characters, items and logos give this game legs beyond its authentic campaign...not to mention online play which is apparently getting updates.

    There are reasons to come back to it over and over, do I wish there was more campaign? Yes... but I cannot fault that they delivered what many wanted in a fateful remake of a classic pair of games, definitely a comeback from the disappointing entry of 5 which hopefully means VV will make more remakes or even be tasked with 6.

Before we go into the review, I thought I should add some history about the series. Tony Hawk Pro Skater first premiered back in 1999, a year later the sequel premiered, and both have been ported to multiple consoles such as the PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64.

    When you start the game, you feel somewhat nostalgic as you look through the roster of skateboarders from the original cast of skateboarders, to new ones added. Not to mention, with the music with the original soundtrack and new songs added, you can't help but feel like you have played it before with a new look. Completing the challenges, relying a large part on your memory of where to go, also collecting the elusive VHS cassettes, yeah remember those? Their are a number of updates to the levels some small. For instance the hanger level having the cover art for all the games in the series, the mall now is a derelict mall with nature claiming it.

    The game is all about racking up longer, and longer combos, with grab, flip, lip tricks, and specials like The 900, or Indy Back flip. The graphics have been improved considerably for a new generation, however the graphics could have been made more realistic. As evident in the previous game ,when you crashed, you used to lose a little bit of blood making you feel like it was a bad fall! Now when you fall, the game rewinds your character to a standing position.

    Online multiplayer has been added; with a set number of modes as you try and out score, or combo other gamer’s online. Although their is no option to add a friend to the game lobby, the game still includes the traditional 2 player split screen for a couch game such as horse with a friend and let you choose what you want to play.

    Now while I enjoyed reviewing the game, I found a major drawback in the form of the challenges. While some of the challenges range from easy to difficult, a lot of them become repetitive especially when you have to complete the same types of challenges with every skateboarder.

    Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 is a game worth playing again for fans of the series to reminisce over and to new video game fans wanting to try something different. I would give it a score 4.1 out of 5.

    If there is some issues, they're minor, that barely effect the core game. I do come across bugs once in a while though. Customization could be bit richer(like age, height, face, gloves, pads, backpack, other features), some of the new songs can be hit and miss.

    The only thing that I wish the developers could include is a some sort of a photo mode. Older games had a replay feature that showed your run with different angles after round completion. So you would think a replay or a photo mode would be included, the game would be perfect for this feature.

    But that's mostly a nitpicking on my side. Overall, amazing game!

On PS4 Pro the game runs so well at 60fps, getting into the action is quick to engage in, the music is awesome, the gameplay is fun and fluid.

    Hitting restart whilst checking what the name of the track is before you attempt to get that pesky secret tape for the millionth time will never get boring.

    as a die hard fan of the first 2 tony hawks games, i was a little nervous after the catastrophe that was tony hawks pro skater 5. however, after getting my hands on this game i was able to breathe a sigh of relief. that being said, there are quite a few small disappointments but they didn't outweigh the enjoyment i had diving back into these games that i had so many treasured memories for.as a die hard fan of the first 2 tony hawks games, i was a little nervous after the catastrophe that was tony hawks pro skater 5. however, after getting my hands on this game i was able to breathe a sigh of relief. that being said, there are quite a few small disappointments but they didn't outweigh the enjoyment i had diving back into these games that i had so many treasured memories for.

    getting the disappointments out of the way first, blood has been taken completely out of the game instead of giving us a toggle option. this obviously to open it up to a wider audience but this added to the impact of falling off your board in the original games, following in line with that, certain tracks have been redone to edit out the cuss words which added to the edginess but this is understandable. seeing your character materialise out of nowhere after falling off your board is a little jarring and gives you the feeling you're playing with holograms and not real people. these issues are rather small though

    this game is incredibly fun and definitely appeals to fans of the classics like myself. all of the classic minigames are back such as collecting the hidden tapes, time trials, collect the s.k.a.t.e. letters dotted about, they've even improved exploration so you can actively roam at will and investigate every knuck and cranny. graphics and lighting has definitely improved though some areas look more jarring than others. overall this game is definitely worth the money you pay for, highly recommended

    Every remake/remaster of anything ever needs to follow this exact formula. Absolutely flawless balance of honoring the originals while updating them with new technology to enhance the experience. I know it's good because Downhill Jam still makes me want to rip out just as much of my hair as it did back in the day.

    Fantastic nostalgia trip back to when times were simple and you could unlock things by simply playing the game. I wish there were a few more unlockables but that’s just a minor gripe. Love it!

    Awesome revival of the franchise, apart from all the classic goals the devs even added a new mode where you have to complete all of a level's goals in one single speed run. Graphics look neat.

    The Create-A-Park mode lacks a little, you can't add gaps for example (!) and HORSE can only be played in local multi-player instead of online, but overall it's a 9/10. If you loved the originals,

Having implemented more playable characters, secret characters, collectibles, challenges, a better create-a-skater than the original from THPS2 (and better than most of THPS's) with more than enough customization options, the best create a park yet (tho it could be better). On the downside the physical appearance of the create-a-skater is way too limited, with some more options like changing the nose, build, size and more hair options would make a very big difference and more personal. I would give it a 9.7, but I had to round it up because of the score rubric of the site to 10. Expand

    One of the best games of the franchise and a landmark to this generation. As a 28 old guy who grew up playing all Tony Hawk's games since the original I'm totally pleased to say that this is the perfect balance between the classic and the new things on soundtrack, skaters, levels. It's just perfect. Thank you for this Tony, Activision and VV.

    So many extra challenges, the online modes are incredibly fun and addicting, the create-a-park mode is also top-tier. THE GAME LOOKS GORGEOUS.
    The addition of the speedrun mode is great, if you ever want to replay the goals just play that mode. I'm 10 hours in and I'm still incredibly HOOKED.
    THANK YOU VICARIOUS VISIONS!!! I knew you were going to revive this wonderful franchise!! Here's hoping that we get a new game in the future if this one does well and there's enough interest!! On the meantime I think I'm going to be sinking tons of more hours into this game.

    After the abysmal Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, this game will get the series back on track. Plus, it's a nice callback to the original 1st and 2nd games, as well as letting others experience the original games who didn't before.

Vicarious Visions has managed to compress the entire Tony Hawk video game zeitgeist through the lens of the original two pro skater games. Classic trick lines land smooth like butter, but the physics are weighty like the later Underground and American Wasteland titles. It takes some getting used to, and to be honest I floundered around for a while. I played THPS 3 for reference beforehand, so its not an exact translation as to be expected. I have found myself preferring this remaster over the classics, mainly because the retooled physics "feels better" or to be specific more skill based and technical, to get around and smaller more accurate windows to land tricks. After a weekend of playing and 100% both tours, multiplayer and challenges are plenty to keep players around. I think this proves more than ever that good games stand the test of time, and visual polish goes a long way to bring new eyes. Expand

And I loved every minute of it. The amount of challenges to beat, unlocking hidden characters, and the endless amount of combos you could come up with gave the game massive replay-ability.

    And now after 20 year, this remaster is just as fun! Activision added a ton of new challenge categories that add hours of gameplay. The maps look amazing. The remaster does a great job of improving on the graphics without taking away what the original maps had. The soundtrack has basically all of the original songs, and a few new ones that fit right in. And the best part is that the menu is clean and easy to navigate (unlike many games these days). You can get right into a map and start skating. Restarting a level takes only a few seconds, and changing levels is quick.

    To those of you that never had a chance to play the original games. I would highly recommend you pick this up. Now a days it is hard to find a game that gives you your money's worth. So getting this game for $40 is easily worth every penny.

    Cons:
    1.) The game does not currently offer private multiplayer free skate sessions. It would be awesome to be able to skate with friends without a time limit in a private session.

    2.) The custom skater options are a little weak. I didn't quite get to create the exact skater i would have liked.

    3.) Spiderman is not an unlockable skater in THPS2 anymore. I understand that licensing agreements have changed over the last 20 years but that was a special part of the game for me growing up.

Played the hell out of the originals, and Vicarious Visions has done a stellar job at remaking them - the gameplay is exactly how it was 20 years ago (i.e. perfect) but slicker, and with a few smart additions. The original bugs and quirks are still present, which for veterans is definitely welcome. Visuals are great, additional goals for THPS1 levelsCan't give anything less than a 10.

Visuals are great, additional goals for THPS1 levels adds more challenge, and the additional challenges and trophies/achievements give this outing some serious legs. The multiplayer is great and all runs smoothly with little waiting time between rounds. Create a Park also great for sharing

    If I had to nitpick the only things I'd note:
    - the PAL-exclusive THPS1 songs (Le Hot - Grand Unified, Ain't Got Time to Waste - Aim feat. YZ, Blue Thunder - Aquasky) are missing, which is sort-of to be expected, but a shame for owners of the PAL original. These songs added so much of the cool vibe and diversity to the PAL release of THPS1
    - some of the new songs are great, some of them however stick out like a sore thumb. Luckily you're able to customise the song selection.
    - the censorship is hilarious - hearing Dead Kennedys sing "There's six of us, babe, so suck on my *street*" makes me laugh every time I hear it

    The amount of quality content this game provides though is astounding, particularly when you factor in this isn't even a full price release. It has clearly had a hell of a lot of effort put in by this expert team, and I can't wait to see what they offer next. 10/10

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is graphically beautiful and the revamped level designs are amazing. Iit is loaded with nostalgia while adding something new. All of the classic skaters are back, and new faces come forward, and the soundtrack is back, with a few additional new songs some of which are good and bad. They even continue the split screen, and cheats that have long been lost in video games. They redeemed what was lost in THPS 5 and that was the create a skater and create a park. I can spend hours on creating new things off this game. Controls and gameplay are a big improvement as it doesn't use the controls from the early THPS games, but brought back the tricks and controls from THPS 4 like the spine transfer, revert, manual tricks, double/triple flips etc. which was the smart thing to do. This game is also realistic in sound, and gravity (when you're not on a vert ramp) where every surface and rail sound is differently, and when falling gravity is much realistic.

    While the main game can easily be finished within 2 hours at best there is still more things to do. They also have more options for online gaming such as sharing your create a park, and competitive that manage to extend the games playability. There is also challenges to engage in that will help unlock skate decks and other goodies.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. Not only the greatest comeback video game of all time, one of the greatest remasters of all-time, but this is now my second favorite Tony Hawk game. This game revived a franchise on the brink of death, and Vicarious Visions did an excellent job with remastering this game.

    As good as this game is, it could've been better. For create a park there's no create a mission or create a gap. I'd prefer Pro Skater 3 DLC. Apparently THPS 3+4 is cancelled.

    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]
