The Tony Hawk games have essentially been using the same formula since 1999, and Tony Hawk 3 does little to deviate from that trend. The developer again has done a serviceable job of working around the more rustic hardware of the N64, using the same modified Tony Hawk 2 engine and alternate course designs of the PlayStation port of Tony Hawk 3. It's not the best-looking or the best-playing version of Tony Hawk 3, but it's good enough.Įdge of Reality, the team responsible for the N64 port of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, took on the duties of bringing Tony Hawk 3 to Nintendo's last cartridge-based console. While some might puzzle at the motivation or logic behind this release, N64 die-hards will be pleased to find that their console's swan song is affording them one more high-quality game to enjoy. Now, six months after the release of the last version of Tony Hawk 3, Activision has finally brought the game to the Nintendo 64. The game went on to appear on literally every current gaming platform, from the Game Boy Color to the Xbox. So in celebration of those remasters that we also can’t wait to get our hands on, here’s our look at the best songs from the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 soundtracks.It's been just shy of a year since developer Neversoft first unleashed the third installment in its superb and popular Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series on the PlayStation 2. They were the anthems of many young gamers’ lives.

The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater soundtracks quickly became infamous upon their release for not only featuring an array of licensed tracks (which was still something of a rarity for the time) but songs that captured the culture of the extreme sports movement.

Yes, as you no doubt guessed from the headline of the article you’re currently reading, it’s the soundtracks. Yet, we suspect there’s another reason so many people are excited about the re-release of the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games. Not only do millions of people have fond memories of the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, but few titles released since the first two Tony Hawk games have challenged their brand of high-octane extreme sports action. There’s really no mystery as to why that’s the case. The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remasters have quickly become the talk of the gaming world.
