Tony Hawks Pro Skater HD Review [GameRevolution]

GR: Tony Hawk has taken skating from the PS1 to the PS3, from posing at school to posing in the comfort of your own home. The series has come a long way, but has it cleared the gap into HD for better or for worse?

I'm totally bummed it doesn't have the original soundtrack :(

Sev4319d ago

Yeah, seriously. I think I'll wait for the PS3 version anyway. Every reviewer seems to take issue with how it plays on the 360's dpad.

alexcosborn4319d ago

Yeah, can't say I'm a fan of the 360 d-pad in any way, shape or form. That transforming one doesn't serve to help matters much either.

Kurt Russell4319d ago

I had to buy that silver controller with the improved d-pad, it's a lot better but still not a patch on the dual shock unfortunatly :(

lastdual4319d ago

While I'm not a fan of the 360 d-pad (though I love everything else about the controller), the control issues here aren't because of that.

The new developer messed with the timing and fluidity of the original game's move set. As such, you're going to be wrestling with the controls regardless of which controller you use.

Too much time spent complaining about music in the soundtrack.

I'm guessing the missing tracks and characters all come down to copyright infringement and one time licensing, probably the same reason we won't get to play as Wolverine and Darth Maul again:(

DasTier4319d ago

wolverine and darth maul were in THPS3 though?

dbjj120884319d ago

I certainly wasn't hoping for all the songs they added either.

Squatch834319d ago

All they had to do was do the same levels and gameplay in improved graphics...
How did they screw that up?

Rivitur4319d ago

Because they tried to build it from scratch and got lazy during development which explains the lack of split-screen,lack of complete soundtrack, only 7 maps, no horse mode, and dlc.

Yi-Long4319d ago

...they know they don't have to invest in quality, cause they know people will buy it on brand-name alone.

Anyway, you're much better off just picking up Skate 3 from the bargain-bin.

I loved TH2 on my Dreamcast, but this is just an incomplete rip-off.

insertcoin4319d ago

I'm planning to play this with the Fightpad. It's the only D-pad for Xbox 360 that doesn't suck.

spunnups4319d ago

why mess with a classic? all they had to do was update the visuals....and and add some online mult and maybe a few online battle modesi- thats it!!

Don't bother, it's a poor remake

FalloutWanderer20772500d ago (Edited 2500d ago )

That bad huh? Not even worth $1.99 bad? I would have sworn that there was a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game in development, I might be confusing that with this "HD remaster" however. Loved the 1st two THPS games back in the day, they were tons of fun with killer soundtracks! "If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man, You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me, The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace Of Spades!"
I remember buying my little brother the 1st Skate game after it released, he was big into skateboarding at the time. I didn't have a lot of experience with the game but what I played was fairly realistic, with great visuals and physics for the time. Skate 3 released back in 2010 so we're way overdue for a worthy skateboarding game, a Skate 4 could be really good with today's gaming tech. advances and hardware capabilities. It will never happen but could you imagine a skateboarding game utilizing a physics engine like Euphoria that's used exclusively in Rockstar games, it would be incredible.

madforaday2500d ago

Saying you like the first two THPS and quote a song from THPS 3 lol. Anyways, I really want a true remake of THPS 4 or THUG 1.

FalloutWanderer20772500d ago

@madforaday I thought Ace of Spades was in THPS 1 or 2, didn't know it was in 3. I liked 3 as well. All 3 games had excellent soundtracks. It's been so many years since I've played them though, it's easy to get them mixed up.

DragoonsScaleLegends2497d ago

It's worse than the games before it in the series (ignoring Tony Hawk Shred) but it's still worth $2.

It's not a great sale and doesn't bode well for Battleborn being price cut already.
