Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is the latest entry in the long and beloved skateboarding series and, in our review, we said it “is such a huge change from the pathetic depravity of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 in 2015 that it’s hard to believe they share even a piece of DNA. lovingly designed praises the past, and music is like the warm embrace of an old childhood friend.”
