Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD: In Depth

4.6
Tony Hawk Pro Skater is back 12 years later, and more HD than ever before.

This incredible remake of Tony Hawk Pro Skater is back with most of the original levels, gametypes, skaters and soundtracks. Rolling out onto the Xbox 360 July 18th and PS3 T.B.A, THPSHD is developed on the Unreal Engine by Robomodo and published by Activision. This is the 12th instalment in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series.


Exluding Roswell, it features:
  • Warehouse
  • School II
  • The Hangar
  • Mall
  • Venice Beach
  • Downhill Jam
  • Marseille

Completely reskinned, with the same old original soundtrack, this is another Tony Hawk game that will have you glued to your tv for days on end.

At first this game seemed a little too new aged, however after playing it for a few minutes the memories began rolling back. Needing to take a few extra minutes per level, due to the increase to 10 goals from 5, it was a very enjoyable, yet short experience. Taking about 1-2 hours to complete the game to around 90%, it is definitely the Tony Hawk Pro Skater we all know and love.

Game Modes:
  • Trick Attack
  • Graffiti
  • Free Skate
  • Big Head Elimination

Removing all the tournaments from the original version, now each level is simply a 2:00 run with the 10 goals your main priority. With 16 achievements and online capabilities, this game will have the hours flying by for you. That is the one thing you can always expect from a Tony Hawk game, and this one is no different. It is extremely addictive and keeps you at the edge of your chair for hours.

PassiveonePosted:

I cant wait! :D This was the best Tony Hawk of all time

Third_EyePosted:

Just the three modes I wanted, Trick Attack, Graffiti, and Free Mode! That Old School achievement looks like it may take some time. And OMFG, Officer Dick is back! :D I can't wait to wreck online and just go ham on the story and achievements!

It's cool that you can manual as THPS1 didn't have that (I think 2 did though). I wonder if you can get off your board. Is 'Avatar Skater' a created skater, or your Xbox avatar? :P
