A high definition remake of the first two Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games.

<h2>Overview</h2><p><strong>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2</strong> is a skateboarding game developed by <a href="/vicarious-visions/3010-519/" data-ref-id="3010-519">Vicarious Visions</a> and published by <a href="/activision/3010-78/" data-ref-id="3010-78">Activision</a> for <a href="/xbox-one/3045-145/" data-ref-id="3045-145">Xbox One</a>, <a href="/playstation-4/3045-146/" data-ref-id="3045-146">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="/pc/3045-94/" data-ref-id="3045-94">PC</a>. It contains every pro skater and level from the original <a href="/tony-hawks-pro-skater/3030-7236/" data-ref-id="3030-7236">Tony Hawk's Pro Skater</a> and <a href="/tony-hawks-pro-skater-2/3030-990/" data-ref-id="3030-990">Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2</a>, as well as 8 new pros, 2 hidden characters, and 1 character only available via the deluxe edition. Though the geometry of the levels remains the same, the aesthetics and graphics have received a massive overhaul. Along with these upgrades, the Neversoft trick system from later games has been retained, allowing players to use the revert (introduced in <a href="/tony-hawks-pro-skater-3/3030-5688/" data-ref-id="3030-5688">Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3</a>), hip transfers (from <a href="/tony-hawks-pro-skater-4/3030-2101/" data-ref-id="3030-2101">Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4</a>), and wallplants (originally called "sticker slaps" in <a href="/tony-hawks-underground/3030-14896/" data-ref-id="3030-14896">Tony Hawk's Underground</a>).</p><p>In 2021 the game was released on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.</p><h2>Pro Skaters</h2><h3>Original THPS skaters</h3><ul><li><a href="/tony-hawk/3005-13/" data-ref-id="3005-13">Tony Hawk</a></li><li><a href="/bob-burnquist/3005-338/" data-ref-id="3005-338">Bob Burnquist</a></li><li><a href="/kareem-campbell/3005-6034/" data-ref-id="3005-6034">Kareem Campbell</a></li><li><a href="/rune-glifberg/3005-6036/" data-ref-id="3005-6036">Rune Glifberg</a></li><li><a href="/bucky-lasek/3005-6028/" data-ref-id="3005-6028">Bucky Lasek</a></li><li><a href="/chad-muska/3005-6029/" data-ref-id="3005-6029">Chad Muska</a></li><li><a href="/andrew-reynolds/3005-6042/" data-ref-id="3005-6042">Andrew Reynolds</a></li><li><a href="/geoff-rowley/3005-6032/" data-ref-id="3005-6032">Geoff Rowley</a></li><li><a href="/elissa-steamer/3005-6030/" data-ref-id="3005-6030">Elissa Steamer</a></li><li><a href="/jamie-thomas/3005-6033/" data-ref-id="3005-6033">Jamie Thomas</a></li></ul><h3>Original THPS2 skaters</h3><ul><li><a href="/steve-caballero/3005-6037/" data-ref-id="3005-6037">Steve Caballero</a></li><li><a href="/eric-koston/3005-6031/" data-ref-id="3005-6031">Eric Koston</a></li><li><a href="/rodney-mullen/3005-6035/" data-ref-id="3005-6035">Rodney Mullen</a></li></ul><h3>New Skaters</h3><ul><li><a href="/lizzie-armanto/3005-44581/" data-ref-id="3005-44581">Lizzie Armanto</a>*</li><li><a href="/leo-baker/3005-44579/" data-ref-id="3005-44579">Leo Baker</a></li><li><a href="/leticia-bufoni/3005-44580/" data-ref-id="3005-44580">Leticia Bufoni</a>*</li><li><a href="/riley-hawk/3005-23681/" data-ref-id="3005-23681">Riley Hawk</a>*</li><li><a href="/nyjah-huston/3005-23680/" data-ref-id="3005-23680">Nyjah Huston</a>*</li><li><a href="/tyshawn-jones/3005-44583/" data-ref-id="3005-44583">Tyshawn Jones</a></li><li><a href="/aori-nishimura/3005-44578/" data-ref-id="3005-44578">Aori Nishimura</a></li><li><a href="/shane-oneill/3005-44582/" data-ref-id="3005-44582">Shane O'Neill</a></li></ul><p>*While new to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 levels, these skaters did appear in <a href="/tony-hawk-s-pro-skater-5/3030-48191/" data-ref-id="3030-48191"><em>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5</em></a>.</p><h3>Secret Skaters</h3><ul><li><a href="/officer-dick/3005-11921/" data-ref-id="3005-11921">Officer Dick</a> (featuring the voice and likeness of <a href="/jack-black/3040-77784/" data-ref-id="3040-77784">Jack Black</a>)</li><li>Roswell Alien</li><li><a href="/ripper/3005-44584/" data-ref-id="3005-44584">The Ripper</a> (only available with the deluxe version)</li></ul><h2>Levels</h2><h3>THPS Levels</h3><ol><li>Warehouse</li><li>School</li><li>Mall</li><li>Skate Park</li><li>Downtown</li><li>Downhill Jam</li><li>Burnside</li><li>Streets</li><li>Roswell</li></ol><h3>THPS2 Levels</h3><ol><li>Hangar</li><li>School II</li><li>Marseille</li><li>New York, NY</li><li>Venice Beach</li><li>Skatestreet Ventura</li><li>Philadelphia</li><li>Bullring</li><li>Chopper Drop (Secret level)</li><li>Skate Heaven (Secret level)</li></ol><h2>External Links</h2><ul><li><a href="http://www.tonyhawkthegame.com/" data-target="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 Official Site</a></li></ul>
