All I know is that I loved the original Pro Skater games, and that sort of like this one too.
And this makes reviewing it tricky: should a developer be praised or criticised for altering the original gameplay? Loved or hated for adding a new feature or taking one away? Well,I honestly do not have a definite answer to all those questions, especially since matters are somewhat confused by the fact that this is arguably a whole new game that has taken some bits and dropped others from two games to create a new entry in the franchise, billing it as the best of both games. It’s inevitable. It’s pretty much impossible to please everyone with a HD remake, instead they’ve simply got to try to please the majority. That is until now, as Robomodo have revamped Pro Skater and Pro Skater 2, merged them together to make something new and released it onto Arcade.Īnd as with any HD remake of a classic game or games there’s a problem that the developers face: exactly how far do they go with this? Should they simply give it a visual makeover and leave it at that? Or should they attempt to fix some of the glitches and bugs that were present in the original release? Maybe they should tweak the gameplay or even alter it in some massive way? Should they add new features or take some things away? Ultimately, though, no matter what the developer decides, somebody, somewhere, will be unhappy. Since then I’ve avoided the newer incarnations of my once cherished series. The last Tony Hawks game that I actually owned was Proving Grounds. Likewise I adored Pro Skater 2 when it released, probably putting even more time with it as I did the original. But like so many other gamers I became disillusioned with the franchise over the years, eventually converting to EA’s Skate series. Not a day went by when I wouldn’t throw the disc into my PS1 and carve around the levels, continuously looking to come up with epic new lines to send my scores soaring. Thanks to Activision for providing a copy of this for review.īack in the day I used to play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater so much that it bordered on an obsession.
