This will forever be my favorite skateboarding game - I was always a fan of Bucky Lasek. This is the game that helped put skateboarding and skateboarding games on the map - it may be simple but we will forever remember the Warehouse.

The influence of the first game in the Tony Hawk series can't be understated. It's solely responsible for popularizing extreme sports games. I still remember playing it when it first released and being blown away by it.

Revisiting it in 2024, it doesn't play as well as I remembered. Skating feels a bit janky compared to later games in the series, which are known for being tight and responsive. If you have the nostalgia for the first game, it can be worth booting up for a few runs. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend the excellent THPS 1+2 remake, which basically renders this version obsolete.

An intuitive and fun time. The controls are a little stiff but they are super simple to understand but hard to master. The level design is good and the soundtrack is awesome.

Gameplay isn't as fleshed out as the other games, but is still great. The maps in this are really well designed and the objectives are also very good.

Habs schon lang nicht mehr gespielt. Instant erinnert wieso. Hart wie viel besser Teil 2 ist
