Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

This edition of Tony Hawk is only a modest improvement over the Playstation version, but Dreamcast owners will be happy just to play this classic on their console.

Oh yeah - this game rocks! Tony Hawk is the ultimate "extreme" game, with more attitude than all the others combined. And you don't need to know anything about the skateboarding to get hooked on this revolutionary game.

Skateboarding is fun, but skateboarding and pulling off dozens of insanely difficult combos and tricks with simple button pushes is even more fun. Tony Hawk definitely contributed all of what he knows that makes skating fun and incorporated it into a game that lets anybody feel like a professional skater. Neversoft also did an outstanding job on the graphics engine and animations for all the slick tricks you can pull off. Great graphics, great gameplay, great game.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is phenomenal. It not only provides a fantasy outlet for all those joes like me out there who will just never be the greatest skater, or even very good, but it satisfies the true practitioners of the art in a way that no other skating game has.

All in all, Tony Hawk is an impressive tour-de-force in the skating arena. Competition like MTV Sports: Snowboarding, Trickstyle, and Thrasher: Skate and Destroy already have the bar set pretty high with this game. Who will bring the Hawk down? It's going to take a fairly high-flying predator to do the job.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is perhaps the best Playstation to N64 port ever. Frankly, I just don't have enough words to describe how pleasing it is to see that so much time and care has gone into what is too often a rushed afterthought. Fans of the original will love it, newcomers will love it, skaters and non-skaters alike will love it...heck, even your mom will love it. I know mine does.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has just set the standard for skateboarding video games. Up until now, 720 held the throne. Since we're well past the 80's, it's about time we crowned a successor. It's a breath of fresh air to play such an entertaining and well done video game. Since I'm a fan of skateboarding, I truly appreciate the quality of work put into this product, but skaters and non-skaters alike will find this game a joy to play. Highly recommended.

Overall, this game is going to be played in my household for a hell of a long time, and I definitely recommend you purchase this one if you haven't already. If you like skateboarding, skating, watching people fall off buildings, playing chicken with trolleys, etc., this game is definitely for you!

Finally the replay value, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater features tons of replay value. 10 stages, 10 characters (plus a hidden one), Tons of modes to choose from as well as secret modes like S-K-A-T-E mode and Graffiti Mode, many accomplishments to achieve in Season mode, 2 player support, free roaming areas and so much more. We can summarize Tony Hawks Pro Skater as the Final Fantasy of Skate boarding games. Truthfully one of the best games the Playstation has to offer.

Neversoft made a game that came out at the right time. This was for the people that had passed on Half-Life and Starcraft, and even FFVIII. This was for the extreme sports junkie, but the premise was so addicting that even a casual gamer could enjoy this game. It got nominated for eighteen awards and it won three, including Best Sports Game and Best Music.

What can I say? Tony Hawk is the most superior skateboarding game I've ever seen or imagined, and it's got to be one of the most technically impressive games I've ever seen. With games like this coming out on PlayStation, there's no reason for anyone to think it's a dying system. Go and get one.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a game for skaters and nonskaters alike. Some may be initially turned off by the occasionally questionable physics, but this little slice of unreality brings a lot of gameplay fun along with it. It would have been nice to see some more variety in the game's tricks, but as it stands, THPS is an outstanding game and is a worthy addition to anyone's PlayStation collection.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater throws a little grit and wheel grease into the world of skateboarding games. No 'special effects' or 'power-ups' here - just realistic skateboard action. Since skateboarding is such a physically demanding sport, I hesitate to call Tony Hawk's Pro Skater a 'simulation,' although the 'sim' approach to physics and tricks is evident throughout. This is a welcomed change to the genre and a tribute to those who have worked hard to master the skateboard, while game developers play with the idea of 'hoverboards' and 'power-ups.'

This is the best skating game that has come out so far, and probably will be until its sequel is released. It looks much better than it's PlayStation original, and the only thing different is the CD quality tracks that were on the PSX version. It is definitely a fun game to have, and I find myself going through career mode even five months of it's release to try out different skaters and to try and improve on my overall skills. As I mentioned before, each run is always something new, which adds to the replay value of the game as well as the well-executed multiplayer mode. Unless you've played massive amounts of the PSX version I would suggest that you definitely purchase this game if you have any remote interest in skating, or even if you don't.

All in all, I had a blast playing Tony Hawk's. It was so easy to get into that I was almost fooled into thinking the real-life sport could be that easy. The few negatives I mentioned were not that big a deal. In fact, the graphical and aural issues I had may only annoy hardcore gamers who own every version of the game, and the repetitiveness may bother someone who is new to the sport to begin with. Still, they are there, but are dwarfed by the excellent gameplay and craftsmanship this game has. It's an excellent title all around.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater comes as a much needed addition to the N-Gage's library of games. It is without a doubt the N-Gage's finest game so far, and the most accurate portable recreation of the original PlayStation classic. It's hard to get tired of this game with its numerous multiplayer modes, online features, timeless Free Skate mode, and extensive Career Mode, but some people may be put off in playing the oldest version of Tony Hawk when the series offers more than four newer sequels on home consoles. While Tony Hawk is over four years old, it remains a must-buy for anyone unfamiliar with the series and anyone who is interested in having a version of the classic skating game that fits in their pocket.

Vegeleken met de PSX titel niets nieuws maar Tony kan trots zijn op deze Dreamcast versie; de mooiste versie tot nu toe. Ik wacht dan ook met smart op deel 2.

Neversoft and Activision helped bring skateboarding back into the mainstream in 1999 when they released Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. The game was far ahead of its time in many ways, introducing a new control scheme and game design that would be mimicked for more than half a decade to follow. Taking a look back, what made Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater so special?

Une adaptation fidèle qui a su prendre tous les avantages techniques. On regrettera le manque d'innovation de cette version DC.

I mina ögon är dock Tony Hawk's Skateboarding ett väldigt bra spel, och ett utmärkt komplement till Street Skater. Ibland vill man köra seriöst, ibland vill man släppa loss.

When you break it down ,THPS for the DC is the version to get without a second thought. Combining the great gameplay and uniqueness, along with the upgraded graphic engine version; resulting in what possibly can be touted as one of the the most addictive and graphically intense games on the Dreamcast platform.

Au final, grâce à une musique vraiment fun, une multitude de missions qui changent de la course pure, Tony Hawk's Skateboarding se trouve être un très bon jeu de skateboard. Des graphismes jolis et rapides continue d'assurer la qualité du soft. Heureusement pour lui, le manque de crédibilité du modèle physique est pallié par le gain de gameplay qu'il provoque.

Je hoeft geen skater te zijn om met plezier op de blank van Tony of een van zijn negen collega's te gaan staan. Binnen no-time doe je de ziekste truuks, de vetste airs en de gruwelijkste grinds.

Vergleicht man Tony Hawk’s Skateboarding mit den Nachfolgern (Zumindest die genialen Teile 2 und 3), so sieht das hier natürlich ein wenig angestaubt aus. Aber der Funfaktor ist definitiv noch vorhanden und dank der Tatsache, dass es hier noch keine Manuals gibt, ist das Gameplay auch ein wenig anders und herausfordernder.

Tony Hawk est assurément l'un des meilleurs jeux de la première fournée N-Gage. Ceux qui connaissent déjà le jeu sur un autre support pourront se passer de cette version qui n'apporte rien de neuf. A moins bien sûr qu'ils souhaitent emporter Tony partout avec eux.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is probably the best game to hit the N-Gage thus far, but since there aren't even 10 games available as of this writing, that isn't exactly a difficult feat. It may have some of the magic that made the original Tony Hawk such a fantastic game, but time and the somewhat sloppy components of this port have rendered the final product pretty unimpressive overall.

By simply keeping the core gameplay and miraculously transferring the old PlayStation engine almost whole to this tiny machine, Activision and IdeaWorks3D have not only worked a magic trick with the N-Gage, but also shown how little work seems to have gone into similar launch titles. The use of Bluetooth and the N-Gage Arena surpasses all the other N-Gage titles in depth, and for those with the patience to retrain their fingers, the single-player experience is functional and looks rad.

That's hardly a reason to keep torturing yourself with a lackluster translation. With their skewed angles, even the Game Boy Advance versions are slightly more accurate and easy to play. Tony Hawk simply wasn't meant for the N-Gage, at least not until the developer's grasped the hardware better.
