Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD is a downloadable title for Xbox LIVE Arcade that takes the best elements of the classic THPS games and gives them a fresh update to create an all new skateboarding experience. Tapping into fans’ muscle memories, the gameplay returns to controllers and focuses on the satisfaction of linking sick tricks for maximum points. Combining sharp visuals with the best controls ever in a Tony Hawk game, the feel is cutting edge yet timeless. The game was rebuilt and polished by Robomodo using Neversoft’s original code and includes the best seven levels from THPS and THPS2 (Warehouse, School 2, Mall, Phoenix, Hangar, Marseilles and Venice). There is a combination of new school and old school pros (Nyjah Huston, Chris Cole, Eric Koston, Andrew Reynolds, Rodney Mullen, Lyn-z Adams Hawkins Pastrana, Riley Hawk and Tony Hawk himself) and the soundtrack is half classic THPS tracks and fresh ones. Multiple online multiplayer modes round out the action

Im sure we hope so as I would think most will prefer this to Tony Hawks 5 on current gen systems which is awful

I wish they'd port THPS2X to the XBOX One. Had it on a JTAG'd console years ago and it was fantastic, kept the physics and levels of the first two games but bumped the visuals up.

How does this compare to TH pro skater 5?

One is like being shot, the other is like being allowed to live a peaceful life.

Apologies. This one (THPS HD) is an OK remake of some of the better levels from the original games, although the physics have changed from the PSX days. I didn't mind the changes, some people hated them.
THPS5 is a lazy cash in with prev. gen graphics and was universally panned for being such a disappointment.

Bought it, so many memories came flooding back. Forgot how much of a classic this was.
