People have called Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 1+2<\/a>, a remake of the original two games in the series, a perfect remake. As we are living\u00a0in the age\u00a0of remakes, it has got players fever dreaming about what could be remade next<\/a>. But one of the reasons why people consider THPS 1+2<\/i> a perfect remake is because it really doesn\u2019t change many things about\u00a0the original game.<\/p>\n

For the most part, the development team has just spruced things up a little, and made the look of the game aesthetically pleasing. However, for better or worse, Vicarious Visions have changed minor things here and there, and\u00a0it is mostly pulled off immaculately. But there are certain parts of the game that should have been left alone.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Best: Load Screens<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Load screens might not mean much to a gaming experience on the face of it, but they can actually be really important, as it\u2019s the one part of a game where the player isn\u2019t interacting with what is going on. The load screens of the remake is one of the first things that reveals to players that the developer has put so much care and effort in to the game. There are several different pieces\u00a0of art, some\u00a0of them are extremely detailed murals, and others are ones that could be seen sprayed on a skate ramp. It embodies the coolness of the original games and creates such a pleasing aesthetic.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Worst: Can\u2019t Replay Career With Each Character<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the best things about the original two games is that once the player completed the game as Tony Hawk, they could restart the career mode\u00a0with all of the other skaters, which came\u00a0with different challenges as all the characters had different stats. In the remake, once players have completed the game, that\u2019s it. There is no option to replay the career\u00a0as a new character within the game.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Best: Music<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ever since the inception of THPS, the game has influenced four full console generations, encouraging\u00a0other developers to add amazing video game soundtracks<\/a>. The music in THPS<\/em> was almost as much of a staple of the game as skateboarding was, mixing hip hop and punk music onto one angsty playlist.<\/p>\n

And thankfully enough, the developer has managed to license almost the entire soundtrack from the original two games (all except for three tracks). Not only that, but there are About thirty extra modern songs too, all that fit the vibe of the game.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Worst: Create A Park<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Though the new create a park mode is fun, it is really limited, and after having created a park, the novelty quickly wears off.<\/p>\n

In Tony Hawk\u2019s American Wasteland<\/i>, the story mode was based on the player creating the most epic skate park made out of the craziest areas of LA. Though that game wasn\u2019t as beloved as the Pro Skaters<\/i>, it was a great and imaginative part of the game that the Create A Park mode could have adopted.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Best: Manuals<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Just like they did by adding time trials to the original Crash Bandicoot game when they faithfully restored it (because fans had been begging for it for years<\/a>), one inspired choice that Vicaroius Visions made to Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 1+2<\/em> was to add gameplay mechanics from the series that wouldn\u2019t be added until future games.<\/p>\n

The best of these additions is the manual, which allows players to string mental\u00a0tricks together to create never-ending combos that lap the maps several times over. It adds whole new dimensions to the decades old levels and it introduces an almost brand new way of playing.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Worst: The Points System<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Though it\u2019s very arcade-y and is a style of gameplay that many developers have abandoned in recent years, THPS1+2<\/i> has thankfully kept the idea of increasing\u00a0the player\u2019s stats by collecting stat points throughout the game. But as the two games are connected, the idea fundamentally does not work. When advancing on to Pro Skater 2 <\/i>after completing the first game, the player keeps all of their stat points, which makes the whole of the second game way too easy.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Best: Skaters\u2019 Real Ages<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Though it might not be immediately revealing to players who aren\u2019t the most\u00a0observant, this subtle tweak to the game is one of the most genius changes there is. Tony Hawk and his merry band of skaters that gamers can play as are all rendered as their current ages, not as the youngsters they were 20 years ago. Most of the original skaters are now in their fifties and it is one of the game\u2019s most interesting features<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Worst: Online Game Modes<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Though this could be added at a later date, one of the fundamentals of the Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater<\/i> series is the two player split-screen modes, with the best being HORSE and Tag. And that feature is available in this remake, and it\u2019s a hell of a lot of fun, but those two modes are missing from the online mode. There is no ability to invite a friend and play one on one, instead there\u2019s the same repetitive modes\u00a0that require online gamers to reach a specific high score before anyone else.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Best: Graphics<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It may go without saying that the game has amazing graphics<\/a>, as we\u2019re at the end of a generation that made leaps and bounds in gaming technology, but of all the games, THPS1+2<\/i> might show off the capabilities of the current consoles better than any other.<\/p>\n

The graphics are also great because, as our memories deceive us and play tricks on us, this is how we all always remembered\u00a0how\u00a0the original two Pro Skater<\/i> games looked. But in reality, buildings were unrendered grey blocks and the skaters didn\u2019t even have separate fingers, with\u00a0hands that looked like mittens.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Worst: Custom Skaters<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Another great addition to these games is the ability to create a custom skater, something that was added in the later Pro Skater<\/em> games. However, they aren\u2019t very custom as the ability to edit\u00a0them is extremely limited. When it comes to the character\u2019s face and hair, there is a choice of only handful of presets, and no ability to build your own. And when it comes to kitting out the character with threads from all the skate brands, there is almost no choice, which has led players to believe that in-game purchases might be on their way, offering new outfits.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Best: Easter Eggs<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

With so many hidden details in the game<\/a>, THPS 1+2<\/em> carries on the long tradition of filling each level to the brim with eater eggs, whether it\u2019s secret unlockable characters or references to the older games. The thing the THPS 1+2<\/em> does best is that it doesn\u2019t just include the hidden details of the original two games, but it also adds many of its own.<\/p>\n

Players can find secret hidden alien plushies around the world (which unlocks a special character when they\u2019ve all been found), and there\u2019s even a subtle nod to Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 5 killing the franchise<\/a>.<\/p>\n
