Ranking every Tony Hawk level!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- I made a tier list of pretty much every Tony Hawk level. I skipped Project 8 and Proving Grounds because they're open world-ish, and Downhill Jam, Ride and Shred because they're more like race courses. But pretty much every level in THPS1-5 and THUG-THAW are here, ranked for your pleasure.

“I won’t judge Tony Hawk 5 for being Tony Hawk 5”
“The Berrics is in F tier because it’s Tony Hawk 5”
Lol honestly. Best level in the game IMO
Yeah, but it is Tony Hawk 5.
east la being in D tier, on top of being beaten by hollywood hurts my soul so much. east la one of the funnest maps to combo around and its so fluid.
Seems like you criticized a lot of the THUG2 levels for story missions rather than how well designed they are. I’d put almost all of them at or above B tier because of how condensed they are and packed full of combo lines.
Same. Some of the best levels of the whole entire series are in Thug2. The updated Warehouse, Barcelona, Australia, Skatopia, and the underrated Pro Skater
My thoughts as soon as he put Barcelona in C. That’s S for me.
Feel he did this for thaw too cause I consider east la a top tier map
It feels that way. I know it's his opinion but I wonder who actually thinks the new Warehouse is worse than Hotter than Hell, it just doesn't feel right.
At least Square Eyed Jack sorted them by design instead of "I hate this mission, this level sucks"
@@PoomulusRobsBanksOnTV east la is an easy S tier
one of the most well designed thps maps ever for lines
You already know school 2 gonna be in S Tier without even watching lol
It's the best level of the entire series
....well 2nd best with Manhattan being #1
Didn’t know this would be a ranking based on missions. When it comes to level design, Manhattan, Barcelona, Moscow, New Jersey, and Skatetopia are all S. And then Santa Monica is at least B.
Manhattan is S everyday
Skatetopia 🤨
I don't understand the love for skatetopia, that level is a mess of disjointed ideas and line disruptions
Climbing the church in Berlin is not difficult!
It is if you do it with zero stats and forget the controls.
@@reno_2200 more like it is if you’re playing on whack ass PC reconfigured controls
RadRat sucks at these games, lmao I love his channel but jeez have you seen him play
@@thpisland2423 very fair comment, I forgot he was playing on an emulator and his controls got messed up a lot and just generally didn't make sense.
@@thpisland2423 reconfigured? jus configure them back lmao
The only major changes I’d make is putting Warehouse and Foundry in S tier. I think Foundry is amazing, and Warehouse is just way too iconic to not be in S.
Foundry gave us crazy expectations about level design
Warehouse, Foundry AND Manhattan are all goated and automatic S tier in my book
who cares that it's iconic, it's still not deserving of S tier.
My man straight up skipped all the P8 and PG levels
Well I mean they’re all one giant map 🤷🏿♂️
@@thewrestlingfiend One map split up by several seperate districts
@@thewrestlingfiend depends on the version. P8 on PSP has seperate levels. I believe the same goes for Xbox/PS2
@@-AK- this is true. He did have American a wasteland which is also one giant map.
@@trychaser2518 Even in the PS3/XB360 version there are distinct areas. You can skate freely between them but text comes up on screen telling you when you changed areas. And the missions and gaps in the pause menu are divided by what area they are in too. So it's open world but the game still treats the areas like different levels.
Manhattan and New Jersey a B? Those levels have some of the best lines in the entire series!
new jersey is trash
I'd like to thank THPS5 for showing up. You never had a chance, but at least you showed up.
Participation award
This is essentially a Tony Hawk games tier list lol
I think square eyed jacks map ranking is a lot more well researched and explained.
I watched that a couple weeks back and was going to ask radrat whether he’d seen that video or not
I'm a year late but.. researched?
These tier lists are personal opinion based. He doesn't need to research how much he enjoyed playing these levels.
@@cxx23 just that he played them all thoroughly, had some info about the real world locations and explained in detail for every level how well spots are strung together
I watched that last night funnily enough
@@cxx23 Yeah honestly one thing I've learned from reading the comments from this video and square eye jak's video is that there's basically NEVER a consensus with these type of topics
I'm not sure in what universe Cruise Ship is one of the top 4 all time THPS levels
Maybe if you bought the game day one
Cruise ship better than skater island???????????????????
This dude crazy
Everyone agrees that debug TEST_Level is the best hands down
Square Eyed Jak says hello.
I really enjoyed la on thps 3. Where the pedestrians would talk to you. "Let's see it!"
"I like it. It's a D."
Good video despite being WRONG about the downhill levels!
The berrics would probably be really good if it was in Skate 3 or more realistic Skating games, it just doesn't seem like it would work in an arcade style game
I strongly disagree that school 1 doesn't hold up to today, and it's pure nostalgia. Ik he gave it an A, but I would even argue that school 1 is better than school 2. Playing that level today, on pro skater 1 and 2, now that you can do big ass combos, it flows soooo well. I can't get that kind of flow on school 2. School 1 is my #1 favorite map.
Putting Mall in F tier and Warehouse in D tier is a crime itself
It feels like you're not really focusing on anything concrete for the placements, one second, it's the level design, another is missions associated with it, and then another is "Pro Skater 5" (even though you said you weren't going to base it off of the fact they were from Pro Skater 5, you still did.) It's inconsistent, and threw me for a loop when you put good levels in low tiers.
I get he is ranking with missions in mind but seeing Berlin in D hurts so much to look at
I feel like the ranking can completely depend on what you do in the levels, my favorite ones growing up were the THUG1/2 and THAW levels because they were so much more fun to explore than the “classic” ones
Save yourself 25 minutes. Dude put Warehouse in D tier.
I liked skate ranch from THAW just because of the effort you have to put into it throughout the game to make it look cool
Downhill Jam is surprisingly fun in Thps 1+2! Just something about the physics in that game that makes the level work for me.
The fact that you rated the levels based on the missions and not on the design baffles me beyond belief. This whole list is messed. Beverly Hills in D, ok champ. Whatever you say.
Man seeing my favourite level in Downtown THAW in D feels bad. Just has such amazing combo potential, line or freestyle. Even the challenges aren’t too bad like collecting the sneakers
My favorite are Tokyo and Kyoto. Kyoto would be more fun if the vents are on like in THUG 2 Remix.
This is peak Rad Rat.
Had a lot of fun making my list alongside yours. :)
Agreed with you for the most part, maybe just one grade higher or lower than yours on some of them.
You gave Kyoto a C, but it's a S for me. It's huge with good combo potential, fun to explore as it's part inside and part outside (almost feels like 2 levels in 1), there's the kaiju/Ultraman fight, it's cool to get on the rooftops...I love it!
You could have included the PS2/OG XBox/Wii versions of Project 8 and Proving Grounds.
They had separate levels.
S-Tier: Montana
It would be fun to do a separate ranking for the pre-made custom levels in Create-A-Park, maybe just one game at a time because there are so many. Every game has some wild ones that the devs obviously had a lot of fun building.
Montana ftw
my S tier consists of airport, canada, cruise ship, hawaii and moscow. definitely approve your list, very good
You missed out School 2 !?
Interesting video, made me think about my favorite in the games I've played (THPS3, THUG2, THAW and 1+2). S-tier for me, purely based on the levels and not the challenges: Canada, LA, School 1, School 2 and Streets (maybe Australia and Berlin too). Most hated level by far is Skate Heaven, solely because of the annoying laugh every time you crash. Taking into consideration all the challenges, Downtown has to be my least favorite. As much as I like the level itself, the roof gap challenge is just controller-smashingly tedious.
You're right, thps4 levels were a downgrade after thps3 level design, too empty (Zoo might be the most boring). I'm still sad and disapointed to this day 😅
Skate Ranch as an F was not what I was expecting. I LOVED upgrading and skating it. One of the best experiences I've had with Tony Hawk games.
I suppose you don't like American Wasteland at all, according to this list. I think it was a great game.
When I think of THPS1, the level I associate with that game the most is Mall. Just find that one perfect line all the way down and go.
Such a great classic level.
I can understand not liking Downhill Jam (I like it) because it had jank to it. But Mall is great. It's like a race course for doing tricks. Like 1080 or Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder (Which is such an underrated game)
As a Native New Jerseyian, New Jersey is obviously S tier
The K.I.S.S level was actually in THUG1 🤭
Ironically enough, my favorite Tony Hawk level is the London Underground from Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX. I really wished they'd make it playable in a Tony Hawk game.
manhatten and New jersey in thug 1 are both S tier
THPS2 levels are, hands down, my favorites. I think their simple layouts and realism perfectly fits to the physics of the game, making simple gaps kinda challenging but very satisfying. For me, Hangar, School II and Marseille are S tier. But nostalgia probably comes into the equation. Anyway, fun video!
i forgot how much i loved the School 2 level! And I had a nostalgia love for Burnside, but you're right that it was pretty small. Like with the Tampa one, i'd love to see it as a part of a bigger city- like what Skate does
It's always fun to see RadRats opinions because he likes early pro skater, While my top 3 are THPS4 and both THUG. Can't believe the disrespect Training got, probably my favorite level in the series for multiplayer.
Have you done a video ranking all the Tony Hawks games since you played through them all?
Why did skaters wear big pants
Putting east LA in d tier is criminal, there’s consistently people playing on it everyday on thugpro. Easy s tier
We need you to rank skateboard brands/teams
skate ranch though was actually sick once you got all of the pieces! Also i loved the vans park in American wasteland?
I feel like the only thing the levels should be judged on is their design as, if we're to judge it on story/game related stuff as well, the better games will have the advantage regardless of how good the actual level is
I new this tier list was bunk when he put cruise ship over airport
I kinda wish you left the goals separate but still a great video
Atlanta, along with Marseille, is also in the THAW Collector's Edition. The disc has a red banner as used for the Greatest Hits versions.
Gotta give the custom park with only one thing (Montana I think) the S.
Montana FTW
@@NitroBurner yehah
San Fran was my favorite from thps4
School 2 and Downtown Minneapolis are my tops.
Just boneless all the way to the ranch in the helicopter mission
I came in here to see where Canada would rank... I am pleased.
if Tony ended up in Smash Bros. by some miracle, what level would his home stage be based on? Warehouse is the most iconic pick, but it's boring, so let's not. something like Skate Heaven or Skatopia would probably the best option, I think; they're both relatively well-known and have unique aesthetics that stick out from a lot of the "average city/skatepark" levels. Cruise Ship falls in this category too, but I'd rather have Daisy Cruiser as a stage.
nice can’t wait to watch this
moscow should be S the plaza has the best lines in all of THPS
I pretty much agree with everything but Warehouse and Mall..I get the reasoning behind both but warehouse is always fun to me for some reason and so is mall..especially now with the remake, you can combo around the whole level over and over..definitely an A or even higher for me with warehouse and mall is an A
how about thp8 and thpg ?
I like how you thought about the goals when ranking the levels, interesting take.
Did you purposely leave out THP8 and THPG? Could do those as a separate video!
this is such well made video rat. the clips of each level on the side adds so much to the entertainment value. amazing job
It's really not.
School 1.5 is just stupid. It's just School 2 but half of the map is missing!!!!
I think ‘streets’ (of LA) is S tier!
The downhill levels in the later games allow you go back to the start without ending your run.
hawaii is S tier this is blaspheme! mctwist, town is vibrant colored, and the tiki with the bonus level. i guess it doesn't have the best skatabaility but aesthetically its perfect
The downhill levels werent that bad were they?
You forgot the sewers and little big world from the ps1 port of pro skater 4
F the Mall? Love the Mall.
11:06 THUG1. I played this level a lot in THUG1.
Thought it was going to be based more on level design, but I guess its a completely different list when you consider the objectives, an excellent level for free skating can definitely be ruined by bad goals.
Fun video but I don’t like how you rated maps because of some story missions.
the american wasteland hate is insane
So I'm gonna be completely honest; while it's not a great level, I'd put Downhill Jam in D tier, not F. Especially not over the 2 terrible stages from 2X. I also think Downtown is better than NY, School 1 is better than School 2.
However I'm glad to know that other people also think Canada and Cruise Ship are the 2 best stages.
watch that frpmo Square Eyed Jak
It was only a matter of time before it came to this
You made the f section bigger!!! Hahah
Bruh
CHOPPER DROP IS LEGENDARY
I haven't even played it it looks fucking awesome
Nice video, only thing i disagree with is Kona being a B & New Orleans a C. The whole park section at the back of Kona is redundant because its like a 1:1 scale of the actual park so you just over everything. (C)
New Orleans is a A for me. great level design. rooftop gaps, skate lines, bright & vibrant level, heaps of level interaction.
Idea for video "Top 10 hardest missions?" 🤷♂️
You missed THP8 and THPG levels in the rank list.
Oh shit. Tier list and gaming and skating? This is topical, yo.
it's nice to know i'm not alone in hating the downhill race levels
School 2 is the best level by far
New Jersey B is disrespect
Hey, have you ever played that one Metal Gear Solid Tony Hawk clone level?
No Project 8 or Proving Grounds????
:(
What about proving grounds?
THPS: San Francisco
THPS2: School 2
THPS3: Canada or LA
THPS4: College or San Francisco
THUG: New Jersey or Moscow
THUG2: Barcelona or Nawlins
THAW: Santa Monica
I think THUG has the best levels overall and THPS3 has the best park editor
I liked the video, however, our list is completely opposite
school 1 is S tier, bro.
Moral of this video. Buy Tony Hawk 4!
theres no such thing is thug 2 garbage
THPS 3 most levels are A or S
Kyoto B and thps4 levels D
I enjoyed most of your analysis and opinions, but the things that stick out to me are the Carnival as an A and your utter disdain for Downhill Jam. Maybe it's the sepia tone/brown color schema of the level but I absolutely hated that one. I still absolutely adore the Downhill Jam and that secret tape is assuredly the most fun and rewarding one to get in any of the games.
Downhill jam secret tape is the reason I broke my first controller
