Notice the Skate Shop feature shown in the above picture. There are several different clothing styles for each skater too. Here you can see their stats, which can be improved as you earn cash throughout the single player missions. Several fictional unlockable characters are also included. Only four return from THPS 1 and 2, the rest are new.

Since no character creator is included, you have to choose one of the default pro skaters.
So, let’s look at what the game has to offer. For a compilation like this game, they should include at least the best stuff from the first two games, but instead only THPS 2 moveset is included, they chose some of the more bland levels, and lets not forget the aforementioned cut features. But seriously, more content from THPS 1 and 2 need to be added before going to 3. There was talk of DLC, namely a level editor and THPS 3 content. It’s also missing many key features from those games, namely a level editor, character creator/editor, recorded replays, and more as you’ll see later. It includes only seven levels, some from THPS 1 and others from 2.

Unfortunately, gamepad support isn’t included, even though the gamepad shows up in the options menu.ĭon’t get your hopes up: this game is NOT a full remake of THPS 1 and 2. The game is controlled via keyboard only which makes sense for this type of game. Note that there is no mouse support at all. To change key bindings, graphics settings, and resolution, you must edit its ini files in its Engine\Config folder. There are no in-game graphics options, so by default the game is locked to 1280 x 720 (720p). As I initially expected, THPS HD is a horrible console port. It’s a very small title its folder is only 1.22GB in size. It retailed for $9.99, though can currently be found for $8.99 on Steam, which is how I obtained the title. Publisher is Activision as with the previous titles. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD was developed by Robomodo, a relatively unheard of name. The only thing it was missing was the moveset from THPS 1, but regardless, that was a very impressive game.
This is not the first time something like this was released: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2x, an XBOX launch title, combined just about all of THPS 1 and 2 into one game, remade on a newer engine (and additional content was added). It is essentially a compilation of content from the first two games, remade on Unreal Engine 3. Or is it not a privilege? In any case, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD has recently been released on PC, about two months after its XBOX 360 release. It looks like I have the privilege of writing the first sports game review here at GND-Tech.
