Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD – Activision and Robomodo’s high-def re-make of the classic skateboarding franchise – is finally available on Xbox Live Arcade.
Based on Neversoft’s original level designs, THPS HD brings back seven classic stages from the first and second games in the series. Players can choose from eight different pro skaters, including Tony Hawk’s son, Riley. In addition to the single-player “Career” mode, this digital download features four online multiplayer modes and the ability to share scores on Facebook. Finally, the soundtrack includes many of the original songs, such as “Superman” and “When Worlds Collide”.
Check out the launch trailer below:
Activision also announced DLC that will be available in a few weeks; the content will cost 400 MS points ($5) and feature new skaters as well as a few levels from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3. The video below has more details from Hawk himself, who appears…slightly aged, to say the least:
THPS HD is slated for release on PSN and Steam later this summer; the XBLA version is the first downloadable game featured in the annual “Summer of Arcade” promotion.
Stay tuned for a full review of the re-make on Game Freaks 365.
