Never heard of this game, but you make a good point about the unlockable characters, Tony Hawk didn't hold back on having so many iconic people and characters across the series as unlockables (Eddie from Iron Maiden, Gene Simmons from KISS, Spider-man, Billie Joe from Green Day, FIN.K.L (a K-Pop girl group), Shrek, Call of Duty soldier and Lil Jon to name some), and they likely had to fork out a hell of a lot of cash to license them, probably even more in the case of Gene Simmons and Billie Joe to license their image for character models too, while MTV did have the advantage of having a hold over many iconic shows they could've used characters and people from meaning they probably could've used some without paying to license them.

Just played that until it was time to go and open it up hopefully, haha.

[@Stuart267]

Tony Hawks Pro Skater was the best in the entire franchise, even today I find myself going back to it. The soundtrack, the gameplay & imaginative settings are unrivalled

[@MediaPastimes]

THPS3 is my number one absolute favorite in the series, but I legitimately love every Tony Hawk game up to "Proving Ground". And even that game was relatively solid. But we don't talk about Ride, Shred, or Pro Skater 5.

[@Stuart267]

@@MediaPastimes I loved the Underground games on GameCube, think I still have the series on it. Well the ones released anyway. I stopped playing after American Wasteland I think they ran out of ideas by then. I would get the re-released version but I refuse to buy anything from Epic Games store.

[@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy]

The later PlayStation2 THPS games all included old maps man that was pure win in my book. Nowadays you pay 100 euros for a tech demo so you can forget about extra content for free, those days are far gone ... Cherishing the old PS1 and PS2 collection because things like that will never come back.

[@Stuart267]

@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy Sad but true. Great gaming is long gone, now we are stuck with crap like Walking Dead Retribution. Sorry for the upcoming rant but I just paid 29.99 for glorified DLC that is not only broken with a litany of bugs since release 9 months ago but also with very little to do as you can finish the entire game in under 2 hours.

I wish Andy McDonald was on a Tony Hawk game, dude is a legend and as good as Tony in my opinion (Maybe not influential but skilled). I would have liked to see him maybe in THPS4 (2002) or either THUG or THUG2 (2003, 2004) those were the years in which they skated as a team in the doubles vert in the X-Games I think.

[@MediaPastimes]

I wonder the same thing, because the dude is absolutely amazing. He’s even planning on competing in the 2024 Olympics.

[@floivanus]

The shoulder buttons instead of the analog sticks makes PERFECT sense. Playstation 1 launched without analog sticks and this is still close enough to that point in time

[@MediaPastimes]

I played the earliest THPS games using the d-pad, and I had a dualshock controller. Spins were perfectly doable with the d-pad in those games. But like I said, it wasn't that bad of a mechanic.

I have nothing against competition in business, but this game was just a straight up cash-grab. There were some other skateboarding games in the late 90s/early 2000s that held their own against THPS, for sure (Grind Session, Thrasher Skate and Destroy).

For the mtv series, pure ride was an absolute banger. Frustrating at times, but still amazing.

[@MediaPastimes]

From what I read both of the MTV Snowboarding games were pretty solid. It was just this one and TJ Lavin's BMX that couldn't keep up with Tony Hawk and Mat Hoffman.

[@ShawnGamesDrunk]

@@MediaPastimes oh absolutely, for whatever reason, they just couldn't get anything right, outside of competing with coolboarders. I personally think that just may be because of lack of communication between mtv and thq though. Thq generally has solid titles, so for something to flop like that is a little surprising

I had this game back in the day, but only after already having THPS. I played maybe 30 mins and went back to THPS. One of the biggest flops I had on PS1. Bad graphics, bad controls, boring campaign, and it ran like trash on the PS1. Soundtrack was good, but that's it. I also had Street Sk8ter 2, and even that was a better game than this. They should have combined all modes into one campaign and fixed the stiff controls, then it might have been worth playing.
