3. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4

Though the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake collection received largely decent reviews, the general consensus was that it fell short of the polish and care afforded to the previous 1 + 2 collection.

There were two key issues which raised the hackles of many fans. 

Firstly, there was the decision to remove the free roam-style career mode from Pro Skater 4, replacing it instead with the more conventional timed runs from Pro Skater 3.

And there's the fact that most of the original songs have been replaced with new ones, and considering the soundtrack is such a pivotal part of the personality of any Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game, it left a huge void in its wake.

Hawk himself responded to the soundtrack criticisms by revealing that he had personal input on picking a new selection of tunes to better reflect the modern era - a statement that didn't exactly pacify those upset by the omissions.
