Great track!Ĭertain songs on the soundtrack make playing this game a lot more enjoyable – particularly on the big jumps! It’s got a real rebellious vibe to it, which again feels very fitting for a skateboarding game. It feels a bit like it could have been part of the mid-00s British indie wave, but also has elements of bands such as PUP. Whereas Superman is a 90s classic, West Coast by FIDLAR is one of the more recent tracks on the playlist (and in this top 5).

Goldfinger’s ska-style is very reminiscent of the 90s, when skateboarding was hugely popular and the music was a huge part of the skateboarding culture, so is one of the more important songs on the soundtrack. I couldn’t not include the ‘home screen’ song, could I? Superman is already an iconic song for any fan of the franchise and if there’s one song that reminds me of this game…it’s this one! Admittedly I didn’t play the original versions of the games that much and I don’t remember this song that well…but after a few weeks playing the remaster I already feel such an association to this song.

For some strange reason the dramatic vocals and steady beat fits really well in the build-up to a huge jump/trick too! The soundtracks on the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games were an ‘afterthought’ – according to the man himself – but they were undoubtedly legendary and arguably as much a part of the experience as the skating! While the soundtrack in the remaster is different, having spent hours and hours playing the game over the past few weeks I feel a strong attachment to the songs and highly rate the soundtrack! My only criticism is that there could be more songs – though the fact I feel like I’ve heard the whole soundtrack about 100 times perhaps says more about how much of my free time I spend playing the game….anyway, here are my five favourite songs from the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remaster:Īfraid of Heights is the title track of Billy Talent’s 2016 album and has already become one of my favourite songs from the Canadian rock band! The riff is a classic killer Billy Talent riff and the tempo/beat is perfect for a skateboarding game.
