The influence of the first game in the Tony Hawk series can't be understated. It's solely responsible for popularizing extreme sports games. I still remember playing it when it first released and being blown away by it.
Revisiting it in 2024, it doesn't play as well as I remembered. Skating feels a bit janky compared to later games in the series, which are known for being tight and responsive. If you have the nostalgia for the first game, it can be worth booting up for a few runs. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend the excellent THPS 1+2 remake, which basically renders this version obsolete.
