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

    Despite some small technical flaws, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2 is a hymn to pure gameplay.
    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.

    The graphics and visuals are definitely updated and are pleasant to look at. The controls are relatively simple to grasp.

    The gameplay is fun and engaging if you are into this type of game. Overall if you aren’t a fan of the originals you may not love this game, but you will probably like it or at least not hate it. If you are a fan of the originals than you are likely to love this game.

    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.

From multiplayer to challenges there is plenty to do. I have about 30 hours in the game right now and am still enjoying competing online against other people. On PS4 Pro playing in 4K there are only one or two levels i noticed that occasionally dipped in frames but it didn't affect gameplay. For 99% of the time this game runs smooth as butter and bugs aren't that common. In my 30ish hours of playing through the game there was only 1 time that i fell through the map and that was the most major 'bug' I have experienced. Other than that I am really enjoying this game and am praying that Activision doesn't shoehorn in a bunch of micro-transactions later on Expand

    This is without a doubt one of the best remakes this gen. 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. Only real complaint I have is that I wish there was more option in create a character when it comes to faces since their are only a couple of dozen options and most of them are a little meh.

    Great remake - I played this gamer so much when I was younger I still remember how to do everything. Great for nostalgia, the one negative thing is that it got old fast.

    This is the best skateboarding game I've ever played, i think only thps underground can be most impressive to me due to be an open world skateboarding game before skate.

But wow VV and Beenox have really pulled it out of the bag! The gameplay is silky smooth and plays just like how I remember the golden-era games playing (THPS 3 etc) but with all of the nostalgia of the first two game's incredibly well-built levels.

    If you have any experience with THPS you'll likely blast through both games fairly quickly as they are direct remakes (right down to every last challenge) but there is so much extra to play through now, including speed run challenges, create-a-park and online / splitscreen multiplayer.

    I can't recommend this game enough, especially to classic THPS heads who may have lost interest in this franchise somewhere down the line (and rightly so!).

    Now please Activision – release THPS 3+4 remaster with the same love and attention to detail!!

    The world and attention to detail are well done. This game has an insane amount of customization. You can create your own skater and there are a good amount of customization options for your skater. There are plenty of board designs to choose from. You can also create your own park. There are so many props to build an awesome skate park.

    It's good to see that this $40 game has multiplayer. Greedy Activision charged the same price for the Crash Trilogy remake with no multiplayer, so it's nice to see them change their ways. The game itself already has tons of replay value offline, so it's biblical that it has online. You can also play local multiplayer. It is disappointing their are no private lobbies yet. Nonetheless, this game is awesome. I definitely recommend this game.

    Taking a huge step from Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5, Vicarious Visions and Tony Hawk has developed something fans have been waiting for years to finally praise. Bringing the authenticity from the ‘99-‘00 Pro skaters 1 & 2, you will experience a classic soundtrack and familiar, upgraded gameplay.

    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]
