Tony Hawk is back with a fantastic remake of the two original games. Vicarious Visions has done a fantastic job bringing back the classics, although this is the third time they get remake/remastered and maybe it’s time to give other entries a chance. We miss more options for online multiplayer, but other than that, it’s a must-have for those who ever enjoyed the series.- Vandal
