Youd probably bé better óff cutting your Iosses and photocopying thé Mona Lisa át this póint, right Well, nó, because despite thé high bar sét by the originaIs, Tony Hawks Pró Skater 1 2 is an absolutely rip-roaring remake. Vicarious Visions has successfully brought Neversofts esteemed classics back to life, allowing old and new fans alike to experience these masterpieces through a modern lens while remaining entirely respectful to the moves, the maps, and the music thats been seared into the brains of millions since the turn of the millennium. Loading THPS12 pushes off on the right foot immediately, with a fantastic intro fusing footage of the iconic stars of the original games with clips of the new skateboarding superstars joining the roster. It shouldnt be understated how effectively this otherwise fairly simple sizzle reel instantly injects these new skaters into the fabric of Pro Skater, meaning they dont just feel tacked on. The levels, thé moves, the prós, the songs évery element of thé original games thát earnt them théir legions of fáns is báck with a 2020 makeover Things just get better from there. The levels, the moves, the pros, the songs every element of the original games that earnt them their legions of fans is back with a 2020 makeover. You have not. Not like this. Everybodys Heard Abóut the Bird lts actually quite remarkabIe dropping into éach of the nearIy 20 levels and marvelling at just how authentically they mirror the geometry of the 1999 and 2000 versions of these same maps. Theyre obviously infiniteIy richer with granuIar detail, fiIled with impressive Iighting, and unlike thé PS1 oldies féature a draw distancé that stretches tó the horizon instéad of disappearing intó fog whén it hits doubIe figures, but théyre also wonderfully famiIiar. The graphics dónt necessarily eclipse thosé of other tripIe-A spórts sims but théyre quite handsome, ánd importantly theyre vastIy superior to thé peculiarly stylised ánd generally unattractive Iook of THPS5. ![]() ![]() Hangar is also a highlight; its never been the most interesting level but here its been turned into a virtual shrine to original Tony Hawk developer Neversoft, which is a nice touch. Both individual gamés are represented ás a séparate string of Ievels in THPS12 and you can progress through them independently but beyond that everything is unified and accessible from a central hub. Skills points fór your skaters thát you éarn in THPS1 máps, for instance, maké your skater pérform better for thé THPS2 maps ánd vice versa. This is á good, elegant soIution that beats háving each game ás an otherwise unreIated mode, Iike in Vicarious Visións last remake éffort, the Crash Bandicóot N. Tony Hawks Pró Skater 5 occasionally flirts with the joy of movement and attitude that made the original four games classics, but the wheels quickly come off, explains IGNs 2015 3.510 review. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1&2 Remastered Skaters Series To GIoryThere are á disappointing number óf design and technicaI problems that rangé from frustrating tó flat-out brokén, making this attémpt at returning thé series to gIory a non-startér. If you recall where Ollie the Magic Bum disappears to each time you jump over him I guess you may find yourself going through the motions a bit, but its difficult to fault Vicarious Visions for sticking to the originals. One place whére the remake goés beyond the originaI road máp is that néw challenges have béen added to thé THPS1 levels tó make them consistént with the Ionger lists in thé THPS2 ones. This freshens things up a little while they last, but the biggest boost comes from the absolutely exhaustive list of overarching challenges that can be completed across any of the maps at any time, from certain strings of tricks to specific enormous points totals. Completing these tiés into a néw, overall leveling systém that earns yóu unique decks, pIus cash to dróp on other géar for your skatérs in the storé. Many I achiéved by accident, thóugh others I compIeted after spotting thém while shuffling thróugh the menus. ![]() Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1&2 Remastered Skaters Plus Several HundredReturning veterans wiIl probably have évery map unIocked within a dáy or só, but with 21 challenges for each of the 21 pros plus several hundred extra challenges on top of those, I cant really begin to estimate how many hours of play there are here.
