Top Ten Skateboarding Games

The Top Ten
Skate 3

This game is realistic and has lots of pros in it. There's a great selection of customization options for how you look. The controls are amazing, and the game has great features like building your own skatepark and customizing street spots. It's awesome. I paid $20 for it.

You can skydive. You can film. You can build. You can parkour. You can glitch. You can mess with people. You can create a character. You can skate. This is the best skate game for sure!

Best game ever. You can play as pro skaters and ride what they ride, or you can play as yourself and call them to skate with you. Pure awesomeness!

Skate.

Come on, Skate has the best gameplay compared to any other Tony Hawk game. It's also more realistic than Proving Ground.

It was good, except for the fact that you couldn't get off your skateboard.

Skate is the best skateboarding game in the world... and I know what I'm saying...

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Tony Hawk games were always better. If you want realism, go skate outside like me. That's why EA Skate only had three games compared to the ten Tony Hawk games. The sales were poor because it was too realistic. Again, go skate outside because nothing is more real than reality.

Way better than other skate games. You can play Capture the Flag in THUG 2, and that alone is better than the Skate franchise.

So many memories. This game has everything: skateboards, BMX, lots of tricks, places, clothes, etc.

Skate 2

Played the demo. I own Skate 3, but this seems a bit more realistic with ragdoll physics when you crash. The colors are much more interesting. I plan to buy this in the near future.

Skate 2 is the best. Everything about it is good, from mucking around in security zones to secret spots.

This is the best skateboarding game ever, and I will never change my opinion.

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground

Best skateboarding game I have ever seen. It rocks!

The storyline was awesome. Best game in the Tony Hawk series. The graphics were brilliant, but the downside is that we cannot make a skate park like in THUG and THUG 2.

This game is the best skateboarding game. I had to bring it over to a friend's place to play it again after my PS2 stopped working. The only other game that is better than this is Skate 3. I'd give it a 9.25/10.

I had this game when it first came out. Does anyone know of an emulator? Because I want this game on PC!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4

I've played almost every skateboarding game released on PC, and I can say that this is the best one. The second-best one is TH Underground, which is also amazing.

This game absolutely symbolizes my childhood and is easily one of my favorite video games of all time, not just for the PS2 but for any game system.

Tony Hawk's Project 8

This should be way up at the top. Who wants realism when you can get a kickin' free-roam sandbox game like this one? Proving Ground is good too, but this game is not too difficult to beat, and I love everything about it!

Tony Hawk's Underground 2

It may not be the most realistic skateboarding game, but THUG 2 will always hold a special place in my heart. Some of the goals are annoying to complete but still satisfying when you do. The controls can be a bit wonky at times, but it's only an issue when you're trying to pull off something crazy. The story is a little weird and goofy, but I think that's part of its charm. All in all, I'd give this game a solid 8/10.

This game was the craziest and most fun of all of them, with all the destruction, special and guest skaters, and the final level you unlock in space, the Mayan temple, and hell! How is this not #1?

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Come on, what's up with people these days? Tony Hawk games will always be better than the Skate series. Games will never be truly realistic. The Skate series has good games, but people decide what they like. Tony Hawk Pro Skater will always be my favorite.

My first favorite skateboarding game. This was the game that helped me fall in love with the genre.

Come on, this game is the best skateboarding game.

Thrasher: Skate and Destroy

Thrasher was definitely a groundbreaking game. Very fun. I could probably pick it up and still play it today.

The game mechanics were odd but realistic, especially when compared to THPS. In THPS, you go faster than the speed of sound within seconds.

A skateboarding sim before Skate, by far the best skateboarding game on the original PlayStation.

The Newcomers

? Tony Hawk's American Sk8Land
? Backyard Skateboarding

I grew up playing this game with my brothers. I don't know if I would say that it's the best skateboarding game out there, but it's my favorite.

The Contenders
Tony Hawk's Underground

I know that the gameplay is not as good as newer games like the Skate franchise, but it was this game that made me want to become a skater! Doing all the tricks was cool and made me want to be able to do them. However, it was the cut scenes and storyline that really inspired me to start skating. I completed the career mode and soon after taught myself to ride a skateboard.

Initially, I thought it was too much hard work. However, around six months later, I started playing Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, and I wanted to start skating really badly. So, I got a skateboard and began to learn. Now I've been skating for a year and a half, and I've learned a lot of tricks. I love skateboarding!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

This really needs to go up because it was the first great skateboarding game ever made.

Shaun White Skateboarding

This game has the best graphics for a skateboarding game on PC. It's far better than Tony Hawk's Proving Ground and has really sick moves.

Street Sesh

Great online skateboarding game.

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
Skate It
True Skate

True Skate is the best iOS skate game.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD
Skate or Die!
Grind Session
Endless Skater
Griptape Backbone
720

Released by Atari in 1987, it is noted for being the first "extreme sports" video arcade game.

Don't ever forget your roots, gamers.
