As much as we love the later additions (like the revert, which is due in a future DLC pack), we were perfectly content with the usual assortment of flip tricks, grabs, grinds, and manuals.
That’s due in part to the inclusion Pro Skater 2’s manual move to all the Tony Hawk 1 levels, which allows for extremely long combos. But our skepticism proved unwarranted – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater still feels as buttery smooth as it did in 1999. Gameplay mechanics over a decade old often feel, well, old.
The 2012 remake contains seven levels from Tony Hawk 1 and 2 in something of a best-of compilation, but Tony Hawk 1 came out 13 years ago and the gameplay has been left almost completely untouched. For that reason, it’s best to approach Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD cautiously. While it can fill you with a nice little fuzzy feeling, too much can lead to fruitless reminiscing.
Much like Bagel Bites, Mountain Dew, beanbag chairs, and the Y2K bug, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is practically synonymous with late-90’s nostalgia.įunny thing about nostalgia, though: it’s a bittersweet fruit.
