With that said, many are still nostalgic for the 90s music and gameplay that featured in the original games. The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 Remastered promises to bring back the soundtrack and trailers suggest that the gameplay will be similar to the original.

The first 2,000 orders of this burrito through the Chipotle app or the website will be rewarded with a complimentary demo. However, players keen for a burrito and a demo will need to act quickly as the promotion is live now and will run until August 14.
The initial announcements about the remastered game have been received positively.
