Best Tony Hawk game?

Just ordered the first game to relive some great times and wanted to know if there was a widely preferred one out of all of them? I'm pretty biased as I played the first one way more out of any of them.

  • The first is always the most nostalgic for me with the second coming close. I think the Underground games were very well received and much larger than the first few.
  • THPS 1-3 were awesome. It's hard to pick one of them over the others. I liked the style and the number of objectives to complete in a time frame.



    I hated the undergound games. Just bored me to death.



    Ride, Shred, and Motion were utter crap.



    I haven't played 5 yet, but it looks more like underground than the pro skater series, so I'm not too excited for it.
  • 2 is my favorite. Took everything great about the original and expanded on it.
  • 1-3... awesome gameplay, awesome soundtracks.
  • Part 2 for me but you can't go wrong with any of the first 3.
  • THPS2 is the best of the series. Love that game. Spent a lot of hours in the level editor. Making spots to play Tag was a lot of fun
  • It depends what system you're talking about,



    My favorite was actually American Wasteland



    EDIT: I should give my reasoning. I like the openworld almost sandbox type of gameplay and also the addition of the BMX in the open world as well!
  • Pro Skater 4 for the PS1 has the most nostalgia for me so that would be my vote.
  • Underground for the GameCube
  • 1 and 2 for me, I was never able to get into Underground or American Wasteland. I picked up Project 8 a few days ago at the thrift shop and I am very interested in giving it a shot.
  • I never played anything past 1-3, but all were awesome games with awesome music.

    What didn't you care for in Underground?

    You must mean PS2, right? I never played 4 so I would go with THPS3. I also liked Project 8 but I'm not sure if anyone else did or not.



     
  • The first one is the best, hands down. i spent countless hours just playing the pizza hut demo.

    P8 was okay, I feel like since AW came out before it that it went...backward I guess in graphic options, it's still okay, a fun game forsure!

    Holy crap; I thought the series stopped at 2 on PS1. My bad!


  • I love all up through THUG2, would probably prefer 3 or 4 though. 1 can't be the best though as it has the worst level by far in the entire series....Minneapolis!

    Come on, bruh. Which game besides sports games and the Rampage series ever had a MN level? The secret tape on the roof was at least cool...
  • Man, I spent so so SO many hours playing these games. Does anyone have a favorite song or two from the series?



    Mine:

    THPS1: Superman Goldfinger

    I know, as a total homer it kills me to say it, but that level is horrible.

     
  • I like THPS3 Best followed by Underground 1 then THPS4
  • I started on thps 4 so that one is the most nostalgic. I like that they got rid of the time limit in the levels. I played through thug 1 and 2 and thaw but going back I still like 4 the best.



    Although ea skate destroyed Tony hawk, liked those better for sure.
  • I'm mainly familiar with the original on the Playstation.



    Skateboarding is one genre of video game that was improved by the leap to 3D. Old 2D skateboarding games seem archaic.
  • 1, 2 and 3 are all balls-to-the-wall-awesome, and got progressively better.

    After 4, which was really just more of 3 but not as groundbreaking, the formula went off the rails.



    Although, the Underground games were not bad. They just had a lot of unnecessary fluff and were a classic case of style over substance.

    All the other games have pretty much sucked balls. Exept Project 8, which was actually pretty decent.
  • I'll be the one to say it just to say it, sure by the time it came out we'd all played the damn games so many times that the novelty was gone, but in my opinion Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2x, the Xbox exclusive, was the best Tony Hawk. I got that game on Christmas 2001 and in my opinion it was the definitive Tony Hawk game. For me, THPS2 was heartbreaking, for whatever reason my Dreamcast would never read that game no matter how many copies (probably 7-10 at this point) I've tried.
  • 2 was the most groundbreaking



    4 perfected the formula.  Or at least got rid of the damn timer, while still having some inspired levels (something that went downhill real fast)

    I agree with 2X for the original xbox. It's even better with a PS2 controller adapter since the xbox controllers weren't that good.

     
  • 2 is my fav, and 2X on the original X-Box is an awesome remake. I bought it and played it about a month ago, the graphics aren't bad at all considering I was playing on a 360. It's 1 and 2 plus some extra levels.
