OXCGN’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD Review: Will you be ‘board’ stiff?

OXCGN:

"Of all the HD re-releases announced recently, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD is one that stirred a special kind of excitement in certain gamers.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD promises to mash up the best elements of the previous two games all wrapped up in glorious 1080p visuals.

Thankfully, it delivers on this promise. Mostly."

These were always good fun, even if you couldn't do it in real life!

WeskerChildReborned4309d ago

Agreed, the Tony Hawk games were always pretty fun.

Which is sad because they got into realism after Skate release and it just bombed after that. Too bad they have no idea what made their original games great.

BadCircuit4309d ago

This is the perfect sort of title to freshen us and put on Xbox live or PSN rather than a whole commercial release.

Belgavion4309d ago

I feel so hopeless at this game after not touching a Tony Hawk title for half a decade

Please can everyone voice their wish for Horse so Activision know people want it :D

Don't bother, it's a poor remake

FalloutWanderer20772498d ago (Edited 2498d 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.

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.

FalloutWanderer20772497d 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.

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.

OldGuyStillGaming2904d ago

Price cuts help just about any game
