Vicarious Visions has produced another excellent remake with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. It brings those PS1 classics to the modern era with a wonderful visual upgrade, rock solid performance, and all the features you'd expect of a game released in 2020. Most importantly, though, it retains the specific feel of the franchise at its best, delivering an addictive, fast-paced, arcade-like experience.
Stephen Tailby · Jul 27, 2022 Reviewed on PS5, PS4Read full reviewTony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 is a return to form for the series, with Vicarious Visions improving the gameplay while maintaining what made those original games special. I had tons of fun playing it, and I will most likely spend dozens of hours playing it even more after writing this review.
Bart · Sep 20, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewTony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 looks and plays as good as you will remember it. The reality is that this remake is an incredibly faithful remake that gives us some clean, sharp visuals, quick responsive gameplay and a great soundtrack. It would have been nice to get a few new levels but for the price, this game delivers everything that you would want and expect from a modern version of a classic PS1 game.
Dan Hastings · Jul 02, 2021 Reviewed onRead full reviewWhether this game is seen as the next great portable skateboarding game or a less visually pretty home console game, the most cogent point is that it plays incredibly and with so much to do across both of the remade games, this is one of the best skateboarding games ever made.
Neal Ronaghan · Jun 30, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewOverall Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is an excellent experience no matter what system it is played on. The Nintendo Switch version of the game is a little different, with a few limitations on what the game is able to achieve thanks to the hardware, but it remains enjoyable throughout.
Cody Peterson · Jun 29, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 was practically a perfect game when it launched, and here we’ve got a port that gets everything that worked about it and makes it portable – with only a few small concessions. If you’ve played it before, it’s absolutely worth being able to play it wherever you go, and if you haven’t given them a chance until now then the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic platform to do so.
George Foster · Jun 28, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewWhether you’re a fan of the originals, or a curious party looking to get into skateboarding games, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a must play. All the original content, a smooth framerate, portability, loads of in-game customization, and a pinch of new content are a recipe for skateboarding success. Only a lack of create-a-skater options and lack of Spider-Man mar this fun flashback. This is what it’s like when worlds collide.
Stephan Adamus · Jun 27, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on Nintendo Switch is a rock solid port of a pair of genuinely fantastic remakes. These really are two of the very best arcade sports titles of all time, revamped, reworked and re-imagined for modern audiences with all the graphical bells and whistles, collectibles and game modes we've come to expect in this day and age.
PJ O'Reilly · Jun 24, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewWarehouse is the best opening level of all time, and you can spend hours in each park figuring out new lines. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remake is a magnificent game, and while the Nintendo Switch doesn’t offer the definitive version of the game, but it almost does, and that’s good enough for Jamie Thomas.
Stacey Henley · Jun 24, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewDespite the huge decrease in visual fidelity, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is just as fun as it is on other consoles.

While Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 is undoubtedly a classic game that has been beloved by many, the question is whether or not it lives up to the hype in its current PS5 incarnation. Sure, it may have given you a nostalgia rush to revisit the game, but does it hold up to modern standards of gameplay and graphics? Let's start with the graphics - while the game has certainly received a visual upgrade, it still feels like a game from another era. The levels are relatively small and the character models lack the detail and nuance of more modern games. While this may be part of the game's charm for some, it's hard to deny that it feels a bit dated compared to other modern titles. As for the gameplay, while it may have been groundbreaking at the time of its original release, it now feels somewhat simplistic and repetitive. Sure, there are a variety of objectives to complete in each level, but the basic mechanics of skating and performing tricks get old after a while. There's not much in the way of depth or strategy to the gameplay, which can make it feel a bit shallow compared to more modern games. That being said, it's important to acknowledge that the game is still fun to play. The controls are tight and responsive, and there's a satisfying sense of flow to stringing together tricks and combos. It's a game that can be enjoyed in short bursts or longer play sessions, and there's something inherently satisfying about nailing a difficult line or unlocking a new trick. Ultimately, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 on PS5 is a solid update of a classic game, but it may not be for everyone. While it certainly delivers on nostalgia and provides a fun, arcade-style skating experience, it can feel a bit dated and simplistic compared to more modern games. However, if you're a fan of the original game or just looking for a fun, mindless skating game, it's definitely worth checking out.
Reviewed on PS5This isn't a remaster, it's a full remake. That said, very little has been done to the mechanics of the game and the level design. The new songs are great, and the old ones still are as well, with a sad few omissions from the original two games. It's really amazing how well the game has held up since mechanically, almost nothing has changed. It just looks a lot more beautiful and has more features, such as online play including leaderboards that will make you refrain from ever saying, "I'm good at Tony Hawk!" ever again, and more in-depth skater and skate park creation systems. This is a dream come true for 90s/00s nostalgic gamers, and also worth playing even for the youngest generation.
