Not the OP but THPS 1+2 is a pretty solid remake (sans some missing songs). There’s a lot of love and passion put into it and it plays really well.
3+4 on the other hand… that one missed the mark in my opinion. It’s missing way more skaters and music, and removed the career mode from 4, replacing it with normal time-limited runs. It feels more like a DLC for the first remake than a proper standalone release.
That’s just my opinion after playing for a bit at my friend’s place though. If I want to play the series I go for original releases anyway so feel free to take it with a grain of salt.
I only want to play 2 because that’s what I had back then, the PC port. I know I can play just the 2 stuff in the remake but didn’t know if it’s lost the charm.
In that case 1+2 remake is definitely a solid choice. Maps, gameplay and general vibes are lovingly recreated from the originals - it really feels like playing the classics in modern skin.
I’m not an expert on thps2, i mostly played 4, but as far as I can tell it’s pretty intact. Just need to download the ost for 2 from the mod site. I think the skaters are there too, not sure I only use custom.

It’s a mod for the PC version of Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland that adds content from thps2 up to project 8. It fun.
If you were wanting to play thps2, would you recommend this over the remake from a few years ago?
