Pretty much all my memories playing Tony Hawk’s games are connected to the awesome soundtrack’s they almost always have. But is the THPS5 line-up full of anthems?
Because music taste is so subjective, it’s difficult to say – but looking at the list below, it could be much, much worse. The 32 strong list has tracks from the likes of Anti-Flag, Death From Above 1979 and Royal Blood cushioned around a smattering of established and lesser-known bands.
Since it’s announcement just over a month ago, Pro Skater 5 has been splitting fans down the middle with it’s retro graphical style. But Tony Hawk’s is about chuggin’ beers and gindin’ rails with your buddies listening to awesome music, so this soundtrack could make or break the franchise for many.
