Tony Hawk's skating games have been well known, and they all started
from this one game. The series have been celebrated not only because
it stars Tony Hawk, but since it features many other pro skaters.
For the first in the series, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has great graphics.
They may be in 16-bit, but they are very well detailed. When I skate
around on the game, it doesn't feel unrealistic. The game shows a
large amount of realism. Even though there are some minor glitches
such as not getting points for doing a wall ride, the game shows much
effort in making it realistic. Sometimes the details in the levels
help you top off some very major combinations. This means that added
details such as rails, ramps and others can help you score more.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater features one of the best soundtrack around.
It features songs that are actually worth listening to. They aren't
rips and they don't bore people. Basically, the music is a good way
to keep alive while playing the game, instead of being bored. The
volume levels can be changed also if the music gets annoying.
Furthermore, some songs can be skipped. The songs featured in the
game vary from pop to rock; then to rap. This enables many
videogamers to enjoy their music, and as well skip the songs they don't
enjoy.
The gameplay in the Tony Hawk games is the chief reason the games are
so popular. There is such a variety of trick to choose from, each
giving a variety of points. Each trick button has about eight
tricks, totaling to about 50 tricks to use. Also, some tricks are
tougher to do than others, varying upon how many buttons have to be
pressed. All tricks are not done in the same areas. Some can
be taken off quarterpipes and halfpipes. Whereas others can be done
on rails. The most basic tricks are done just off land, by doing an
ollie.
This videogame is one of the most durable ever. Surely, it can be
beat by using one skater in a day. Still, there are so many
available characters that the game can be beaten over and over. The
best thing is that only one file is needed for the whole game!
Therefore, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is one of the best prequels around,
and the game deserves a wonderful applause.
