If you haven't played a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in years, despite the remake having many of the old game mechanics, with some more modern tweaks, you may find yourself face to face many times over.
This guide to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 will show you the best skills to get and the best ways to easily complete the game.
Do the tutorials: it may seem boring, but this is the best way to play, both for those who have not played in a long time and for those who have never played. Training is the best way to get carried away with the controls, very hectic for those not used to. The tutorial covers everything from the most basic movements to the most difficult tricks, even counting the new manual movements.
Check the mode: in the beginning, having adequate difficulty can be essential. The modes can be changed from the options menu and allow you to perform actions in an easier way. Modes modify specific actions, for example by blocking the fall or allowing you to move without having to continually adjust your position.
Manuals and Reverts: to get the highest scores, you need to perform a series of tricks in one combo. The game adds two systems from other titles in the series to facilitate the task, which were not possible in the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.
Manuals are tricks that can be performed to extend the combo after landing. With a combination of keys such as up and down or down and up before touching the ground, the skate will only land on the front or rear wheels, allowing it to move in this way, but which forces you to continually adjust the position. You can then do another jump and flip, which will be added to the combo. Reverts are tricks that can be done once you get off a ramp by pressing a special button. This will allow you to extend the combo and perform a manual and further tricks.
Toggle between grinds and manuals: they are useful for extending combos, and the longer they last the more points you get. Alternating them gives you another trick to add to the combo. While doing either, by pressing the flip, grab or grind key twice, the skater will perform another movement while performing the same type of action. For example, if you are on a bar and press the grind button twice, the skater will flip and perform a different kind of grind. Focus on the simpler challenges: to unlock the skate parks in the shortest time possible, you have to complete several park goals. Each park has missions, and after completing a few, a new one is unlocked. To unlock your favorites, it's best to focus on simpler and similar goals first, rather than park-exclusive ones.
Each skate park has different challenges, some of which are unique and to get ahead quickly it is advisable to do the ones concerning the first higher scores, simple for veterans and for those who use simple modes, the longest combos, and here too mods are useful, the collection of SKATE, easily found by following the most linear paths, and the challenges they require perform a certain trick in a specific place, which is usually shown in the stage intro, and from the menu you can see the exact key combination needed to run it. 3
Other collectibles, such as cassettes, require a lot of trial and error and several replays on stages. The challenges listed above should be enough to get you through the PlayStation game easily.
