Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 combines remakes of iconic entries that brought skateboarding culture into mainstream gaming. It masterfully recreates the gameplay experiences loved by fans and attracts newcomers, who will appreciate its nostalgic charm. However, the game fails to effectively convey the cultural context that made the originals significant. While the visuals evoke a sense of nostalgia, the inclusion of modern elements appears superficial and doesn't provide insight into the series' place in pop culture. Thus, while the gameplay excites, it might not resonate widely with those unfamiliar with its history.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 masterfully recreates the gameplay pleasures of these games and will please any fan of the series.
Despite enjoying the gameplay of 3 + 4, I struggled throughout my time with the game to see that approachability.
