Amongst the new features was the Revert, a trick that could be linked from a halfpipe to a manual allowing for potentially infinite combos. It remains as one of the highest scored games on the PS2. The PS2's first game with online play, while at the same time the final N64 game for the Western market, and thus had much graphical improvement.

Also included the manual, the first trick to link types of tricks together into much longer chains. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (2000): The first sequel improved numerous things, and added customization to the mix (Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park), which would become a staple of the series.Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999): Originally launched on the PSone (later for Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, Game Boy Color and even the Nokia N-Gage), this was the first game in the series, featuring very few skateboarders (10, plus two secrets), a handful of basic levels, and reached critical acclaim for its unique use of combos, something previously only seen in beat 'em ups.Sane Trilogy, and have experience with the Tony Hawk games, having done most of the series' ports for Nintendo handhelds note the Game Boy Advance ports of all games from 2 to Underground 2, American Sk8land and the DS ports of Downhill Jam and Proving Ground. The remake was developed by Vicarious Visions, who also previously worked on the Crash Bandicoot N. ![]() ![]() note While marketed as a "remaster", the game is remade from the ground up with all new assets and code. On September 4, 2020, Activision released a Video Game Remake of the first two Pro Skater games. They were merged into Infinity Ward in 2013. Depending on who you ask, the series peaked with Pro Skater 2, Pro Skater 3, or Underground, with the franchise generally agreed to have then circled the drain until Neversoft stopped making Tony Hawk games after the commercial failure of Proving Ground, and promptly began working on Guitar Hero. Unfortunately, the series ran on a gruelling (for both the developers at Neversoft and the players) annualised schedule, a move which, unsurprisingly, led to stagnation and franchise fatigue. The tight, fast-paced gameplay, superb level design, mountains of hidden unlockables and Easter Eggs, addictive multiplayer (Notably, Pro Skater 3 was the first PS2 game to feature online functionality, before the official system modem was even released) and impeccable taste in licensed music led to absolutely enormous financial and critical success - with Pro Skater 2 in particular being the second highest rated game of all time on Metacritic, tied with Grand Theft Auto IV and Soulcalibur and just behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. While the Pro Skater games are examples of No Plot? No Problem!, the post- Underground games would generally come with an actual plot, often of surprisingly good quality. Beginning with Pro Skater 4, the levels were expanded greatly, and the two-minute timer was eliminated (except for particular challenges). Many of the skate parks in the series are modeled after real locations, such as New York City, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. Scoring enough points and completing enough objectives (such as grinding a particular rail or jumping over a specified gap) will unlock a new course for the player to skate on. The first three games in the series gave the player a two-minute time limit to score as many points as possible by stringing together grabs, flip tricks, and grinds. The Tony Hawk's series is a line of skateboarding video games published by Activision, and one of the first to feature the likenesses of professional skaters such as the Hawkman himself. ![]()
