I figured Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 would make me feel like a teenage dirtbag again, but I didn't expect it to turn me into a moody adolescent. Yet, that's exactly what I've turned into thanks to the remake's reduced track list, and the only remedy for my angsty emo Mr. Hyde transformation is playing the originals on a handheld.

Back in the day, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 was a really big deal for continuing to evolve the series in major ways, including the addition of revert to allow you to string many more combos together. The modern gameplay additions were wisely retroactively added into the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake to make them perform even better,

Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3+4 remake rides high on nostalgia and flair, even if a few landings feel off balance.
