Tony Hawk’s Pro Skateboarding
_Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater_ is a skateboarding simulation in which you control a
famous skate star around 3D environments. Each game area contains a plethora
of objects like ramps, rails, and half-pipes which can be used to perform
tricks. Each trick you perform earns you more points for your score.
The game is divided into two types of levels. In the first, you skate around
locations like a mall, a city street, or a warehouse. In each of these areas,
there are 5 goals to complete. Some goals involve obtaining a high score,
others smashing objects, and some collecting objects. For every goal you
complete, you earn a video tape. By collecting enough video tapes, you unlock
levels and skateboards for you to use. There are 6 levels like this. The
second type of level is a competition. You get to make 3 timed runs through a
skate park, and attempt to get the highest score possible. If you do well
enough, you will beat the scores of the computer controlled skaters and win a
medal. There are 3 levels like this.
There are nine real life pro skaters you can choose to play as, including Tony
Hawk himself. Each skater has their own signature moves that earn you big
points if pulled off successfully.
