Something about the HD Collection definitely feels off, but after a while you do start to get used to it's idiosyncrasies, coming off your board less, and chaining together several moves without breaking your virtual neck - and as you complete goals and collect cash, you can upgrade your skater, letting you pull off tricks that are worth more points, improve your landing or grinding skills, or simply buy a better board. Thinking we didn't remember things being quite so finicky back in the day, we dug out the old Playstation - and sure enough, we managed to get some 50,000 points easily we were a bit rusty, but at least we weren't collapsing in a heap every few seconds. Unless your board was pointing in the exactly the right direction as you were landing, you'd be unceremoniously chucked off your skateboard, and earn yourself no points whatsoever. The first time we took the collection for a spin, we really struggled to get to grips with things - which seemed strange, seeing as we were veterans of the original.

So then, it seems a little bit odd that for the HD Collection, Activision have actually made the game a lot, lot harder. Oftentimes, your character would land a load of tricks that, by rights, should have resulted in a pile of aches, scrapes, and broken bones - but it was this friendly forgiveness that meant an inexperienced player like myself managed to finish the game.

Once you've finished all the objectives on all of the levels, you unlock a series of more advanced 'projectives', which require you to land a massive combo, score ludicrous amounts of points and collect even more stuff with just sixty seconds on the clock. Each level has its own specific collection of objectives to achieve, along with three different levels of high scores to go for, each more difficult than the last, requiring you to string together as many grinds, flips and grabs as you can. Taking your skater into one of a series of levels, from a shopping mall, to an aircraft hanger, and a school playground, each of which has been littered with handily placed half pipes and rails to lend itself to skating, you have two minutes in which to complete various objectives - from collecting letters S-K-A-T-E, spray paint cans or shipping manifests which have been scattered around the levels, to performing specific tricks as you leap over certain obstacles, or even leaping over a magical bum (of the tramp variety, not backside). Tony Hawk's Skateboarding capitalised on the late 90s skateboarding revival, letting you step into the shoes of famous pro skateboarders like Tony Hawk and. Time has passed now, and with plenty of old games being given the high definition make-over, the Gods have decided it's time for the return of Tony Hawk, in the form of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD - an HD remix, or 'best of' Tony Hawk's 1 and 2, bought into the present day by way of a fancy graphical overhaul, and a few minor tweaks - now there are DVDs hidden in the level to collect, rather than video tapes, and there's the option to play as Tony Hawk's son Riley, too.

Hawk, pulling off all manner of ludicrous tricks with ease thanks to its accessible controls, levelling up my skaters, finding all the hidden cash and getting the last few high scores before losing to my more obsessed brother at the Trick Attack multiplayer mode.
