The entire roster of pro skateboarders comes with their own pre-baked stats, but you can also upgrade these as you see fit. These can be used to improve your skater’s air, spin, speed, flip tricks and many other areas, all making your character more efficient on the board. There are also numerous collectibles to be found across the game, which includes stat increases for your character. It’s easy to see how much love was poured into them the first time round, as they are still as fun to skate now as they were back in the day. For those new to the series, there’s a lot of fun to be found in exploring these levels.

For veterans of the series it will be a cakewalk, which is why Acitivison have also included an additional challenge mode. It’s a decision which will be welcomed by the hardcore members of the fan base.Īs with the originals, you must collect, skate and combo your way through each level to a strict two-minute timer. There is also an option to play with the controls from the first two game, should you really want that old school play style. THPS 1 + 2 captures that original feeling while also adapting it for modern sensibilities. One of the most important features of any Tony Hawk’s game is the physics.
