About Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a remastered compilation of two classic skateboarding games from 1999 and 2000. Vicarious Visions rebuilt both titles in HD, preserving the original levels, skaters, and tricks while adding modern polish. Play as pros like Tony Hawk or Bigg Jus, grinding rails, hitting kickflips, and scoring big in iconic locations like The Park and Pool Party. It launched on September 4, 2020, across PS4, PC, Xbox, and Switch. The game thrives on its chaotic, arcade-style physics and the joy of pulling off sick combos. If you remember the original N64 or PlayStation versions, this is a near-identical return to that era, now with sharper visuals and online leaderboards.
Gameplay
The core loop is simple: land tricks, grind objects, and chain moves to rack up points. You’ll spend most sessions in Career Mode, progressing through levels while mastering required tricks. Each level has distinct zones, think halfpipes, vert ramps, and suburban streets, to explore and score in. Controls are tight but demand precision; a mistimed ollie can send you face-first into a wall. Multiplayer lets you battle friends locally in split-screen or online for high scores. The physics engine rewards creativity, letting you string together flips and grinds in ways that feel unpredictable yet satisfying. Sessions often last 30, 60 minutes as you chase perfect runs or tackle challenge objectives like hitting 100 consecutive tricks.
What Players Think
The game holds an 88 on Metacritic and 86.1 on IGDB, with 68% of PlayPile users reporting “happy” moods and 22% “mixed.” Average playtime is 20 hours, though 15.8% of players unlock achievements, 36 in total. The rarest, “ONE HUNDRED!”, requires 100 unbroken tricks and sits at 0.8% unlock rate. Fans praise the remaster’s fidelity to the originals and the split-screen revival, while critics note the lack of new mechanics. Positive reviews highlight “nostalgia hits” and “addictive scoring,” though some find the difficulty curve punishing. Achievements like “Grind King” (500 grind points) test patience, but the community remains engaged, with 42% completing the collection.
PlayPile's Take
For $39.99, this is a solid pick for retro arcade fans or those who enjoyed the original THPS titles. The 36 achievements add replay value, but most will hit a wall at the 15% completion mark. Newcomers might find the physics unintuitive, but the chaotic charm and local multiplayer make it worth a try. It’s not impressive, just a love letter to 2000s skate culture. If you crave a game that rewards trial-and-error creativity over tutorials, this one’s for you. Stick to the first 10, 15 hours for the biggest bang, then call it a session.
