Tony Hawk Video Game Series

Branded with the name of a popular skateboarder is a series of arcade games in which players can test their skills in performing spectacular tricks on a skateboard. The series was created by the Neversoft studio, and the release of its subsequent installments is handled by Activision, which takes care of the brand.

The history of the series can be divided into several periods. The first began in 1999, with the release of the game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and ended in 2002, after the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. The second chapter opened with the game Tony Hawk's Underground, and it came to an end two years later, after the release of the game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. The next three productions in the series - Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (2006), Tony Hawk's Project 8 (2006) i Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (2007) - are included in the third period. Tony Hawk's Motion (2008) marks the beginning of the fourth era (spin-offs), which also includes. Tony Hawk: Ride (2009) i Tony Hawk: Shred (2010). The latest chapter in the brand's history is the HD era, which began with the remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, released in 2012. It was followed by the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, which by no means appealed to fans of the series. The stain on the brand's honor was erased by the compilation released in 2020 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 2, containing refreshed versions of the first two installments of the series.
