[Review] Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments

Publisher: Activision

Having barely touched a skateboarding game since Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 on the GameCube, I was excited to see how this ground-up remake of two of the series’ highest-rated games would hold up on a handheld.
