In addition to the tracks from the original soundtracks' 22 artists, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 adds 37 new songs, bringing the total to a staggering 59. The soundtracks for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 are easily two of the best of all time and having the songs from the original games return with this remake, is a huge feat and an even bigger win when it comes delivering on that classic feeling. This special blend of rock, hip-hop, alternative, and even heavy metal, didn't really exist in any other genre at the time. The music of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 defined a generation and perfectly embodied the spirit of skateboarding culture. The only thing as important as the gameplay in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise is the killer soundtracks. Sometimes revisiting a game you love reminds of its glaring flaws, but with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, it only reinforces why this franchise was such a massive success. Even players who never touched the originals can dive into this remake and have a blast trying to beat their own high scores or gather fun collectibles thanks to its perfectly crafted arcade design.
While you do have the option to switch to classic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 control schemes, these restrict your ability to wall-hop, revert, and even manual, but if you're interested in experiencing the most faithful feel of these classic games, this is a really cool detail for long-time fans.Įven after all this time, I really can't stress enough how great these games feel. I was able to revisit classic runs from my favorite stages and stretch my combos even further thanks to these additional features. These games didn't feel as good as I remembered them, they actually felt better.Īdditional mechanics from later Tony Hawk games like wall-hopping and reverts completely changed my combo game. I spent the first several sessions crashing simple combos that I would have nailed with ease back in the day, but once was my reflexes caught up with the increased frame rate, everything clicked in a big way. Unfortunately for my fingers and my brain, this muscle memory was tied to sub-30 FPS on the PS1, so initially adapting to a locked 60 FPS on the Xbox One X was pretty intense. As someone who spent hundreds of hours playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 growing up, I went into this remake with a laundry list of expectations and a whole lot of muscle memory.
