Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
A treat for both veterans and newcomers, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 shows why the series is still just as relevant all these years later. A modern classic.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a must-have for fans of the series, offering yet more outrageous skateboarding antics along with stunning visuals. Purists might not like that the format of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 has been changed, and that most of the music here is new, but embrace these updates and you'll have a very good time indeed. Also, the new skateparks that have been introduced are fantastic.
Following the success of THPS 1 + 2, developer Iron Galaxy steps in to give us the long-awaited Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. Reimagining, more than remaking, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 (2001) and 4 (2002) for a modern audience, we are treated to updated graphics, a stacked roster, new maps, expanded creation tools, and smoother gameplay than ever. This is our second love letter to skate culture, and while there have been some controversial changes, it balances the grind well.
After the series received a well received rejuvenation with the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 back in 2020, fans have been anxiously awaiting a follow-up with the next two entries in the series. For a while, it was looking like this may not happen after developer Vicarious Visions was essentially absorbed into Blizzard, leaving the series without a developer. That was until teases started happening earlier this year that got the hype train going, and now the series is back again w...
Nostalgia is only going to get you so far, when revisiting something from your youth. Sometimes it'll get you too far, and as a critic, it's important to be aware of those instances, so you're not ignoring the faults in a game or product to the detriment of your work. Thankfully, that's not something I had to worry about at all with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 when I sat down to begin playing it for my review.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 brings back the grind with slick upgrades and nostalgic charm, but some changes—especially to Pro Skater 4—might throw longtime fans off balance.
We got what was probably one of the best remakes in years in 2020 with the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, and hopes of further remakes for games in the series were dashed when Vicarious Visions was merged into Blizzard, and the initial version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was cancelled. A few years later, however, Iron Galaxy picked up the reins and delivered those same skateboarding thrills, though it wasn’t without some losses.
Against all odds, in 2025, it really feels like Tony Hawk games are back. Pro Skater 1 + 2 reintroduced the Birdman and his skilled set of skaters to the world,
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 offers the definitive way to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and a great way to experience Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. While I wish some levels were given a bit more polish and redesigns, this is still the best collection of levels ever put in a Tony Hawk game and puts Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 at the top of the list of best skateboarding games in the modern console era.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 does a lot to reenergize these two games from the early 2000s. At the time, the series was something every kid would talk about with their friends. Now, the series is given another moment in the spotlight, offering a new generation access to a series that feels as timeless as ever, thanks to its eclectic gameplay, excellent music, impressive skaters, and memorable levels. The personality, humour, and flow of these games are all still intact, and that makes them unforgettable.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is still a Tony Hawk game at heart, and as expected, plays brilliantly. As a package, the plethora of content on offer is easily the best way to revisit the masterful skating experience that was THPS 3, even if it entirely overshadows the meek representation of THPS 4 within the title.
That said, the return of the time limit in part 4 and the missing tracks from the soundtrack are definite low points. Still, despite a few small drawbacks, I can wholeheartedly recommend this remake. Whether you’re an old-school fan like me or a newcomer to the series, you’ll find hours of enjoyment here.
