Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD Review

Customer Ratings:

It's an incredibly bare bones PC port. There's no online multiplayer to speak of, it requires tinkering with game files just to change the resolution, and if you don't have a controller to use for your PC then don't even bother playing it. Not to mention there are only 8 levels and you'll have played through them all in about 2 hours. It's a pretty meh PC port and it's clear that the developers didn't really care about porting it over which means you shouldn't care about playing it.

This game is a great blast to the past for anyone like me who grew up playing the first two (or three) games. All the old levels you know and love from the original and great music too (with some new tracks built in)

The graphics are nicely refreshed and enhanced without taking away from the old charm.

The one complaint I have? The controls cannot be customized. So when you go to use a controller, it doesn't match up with the way the controls used to be on the old PS1 system. This is really annoying and takes away from the experience. This is the main reason why I rated this game down.

Why don't you just allow your users to customize the controls to whatever you want? Heck you could do that in the 16 bit era for crying out loud. Why can't I customize it the way I want in 2013? Doesn't make any sense. Honestly I haven't played it much since because of this problem.

If you have never played these games before you probably wont care, but for anyone who grew up playing the old games, this might be a deal breaker for you.

Great to remember old times playing THPS to the old tunes that musicized my teens. Great fun, despite not having local multiplayer.

I really like that they chose to revamp a classic, but this was a bit disappointing for me. I won't go into too many specifics, but I will say that they haven't included a number of things from the classic and it lost a lot of it's feel. I think they could have added more and spent a bit more time on it to be honest. It's alright, but I grew bored of it pretty quickly.
