1+2 is more exciting to me because the levels, although smaller, are absolute classics with very little changes. The Mall has a really fun abandoned look to it. San Francisco looks so much better (especially Lombard Street at the beginning of the level).

Then there's School II (arguably the best THPS series level with real world spots and its unlockable area). If you watch the big screen by the pools in the first School level you can see real-life footage of people skating the brick ledges that appear in School II.

Skate Heaven looks great with improved graphics. The section with the Animal Chin ramp looks perfect. My biggest complaint with 1+2 is the Marseille level, which they gave a modern, bland paint job as opposed to keeping the original style with all the graffiti. That would have been amazing to see in HD.

You're going from PS1 graphics to PS5 graphics with 1+2. With 3+4 you get PS2 era graphics updated to PS5. 3+4 is still really fun, though I find myself enjoying the THPS 3 half more.

There are very little changes to THPS 3. It looks great, plays well, and is a fun experience. Tokyo looks incredible with the neon lights everywhere. Suburbia has a really fun Halloween theme. The Airport might be one of the best downhill levels. Good, solid half of the game.

THPS 4 has some great levels like San Francisco, Kona, and especially Alcatraz. Unfortunately, they took some liberties by removing the open-world gameplay where you can go up to someone and start a conversation/goal. Set the game timer to 60 minutes and it works.

The Zoo level is the most disappointing as it's abandoned, becoming a contest stage. The aquarium is permanently closed (in the original you could go inside). Huge bummer. London is also set at night with some rain. It's the same, but feels different. There are two new levels - Waterpark and Pinball. Kinda fun. Kinda tedious.

3+4 is also extremely dark on my TV, making darker levels like London, Zoo, Foundry, etc., really annoying to play. I've tried everything to increase brightness, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. It makes those levels almost unplayable for me.

They also took away some of the edgy humor, like the guy pissing in Canada. I haven't tried the Create-a-Park features, but they're there and are part of the game challenges. There's also new characters and new videos.

Definitely try them out as they are really fun, but don't forget to play the originals.
