It also clearly blows the GameBoy Advance SP version out of the water. This game really shows off the hardware of the N-Gage as well.

Controls better than any other title available for the system. N-Gage has an excellent, highly-responsive D-pad that makes performing all of those tough combos a little easier than you'd expect.

The game's sound design is also brilliant – for the first time, a developer has bothered to include decent audio in an N-Gage game, and it really makes a difference.

It is without a doubt the N-Gage's finest game so far, and the most accurate portable recreation of the original PlayStation classic.

If you are new to the Tony Hawk series then this game is a definite must and will keep you glued to your N-Gage for months.

The graphics are better than the GBA versions, and even if the single-player mode seems a bit stale, multiplayer never gets old. [Spring 2004, p.18]
GMR Magazine
One of the most all-around competent N-Gage experiences. [Aug 2004, p.95]
Console Gameworld
An enjoyable, if a little dated, game. The new multiplayer features add enough new juice to make an older game worth picking up again.

One of THE reasons to own an N-Gage, it is the best version of Tony Hawk currently available on a handheld and only suffers from minor frame-rate problems.

A somewhat decent port, and stands as the finest game for the system yet, but its age and shortcomings may send gamers off to the Underground instead.

Quite simply, there are things in Tony Hawk's 2, 3 and 4 that we have adopted as extreme sports law, and the original game feels hamstrung as a result. On the bright side, it's still more satisfying than any of the slightly dull GBA interpretations thanks to Ideaworks 3D's sterling work on the engine and mechanics, and it's unquestionably the finest game in the N-Gage launch line-up.

It may have some of the magic that made the original Tony Hawk such a fantastic game, but time and the somewhat sloppy components of this port have rendered the final product pretty unimpressive overall.

The gameplay is still solid as a rock and translates well on the platform. Multiplayer is the king of the card – easy to setup, wireless, and four modes that you and a buddy can grind up.

Easily the best of the N-Gage titles I've test driven so far, even if the play control could use a serious retooling.

Great game but its too easy and for skate fans lke me you cant manual in the game which is bad but other dan dat its cool.
Lee D. gave it a 10:
This game has no faults, well maybe it could be a little louder? and on a bigger screen but apart from that it's as great as the original which was one of the best games on the PS1. a must play game.
Kris N. gave it a 5:
Looks alot like the PSX version, but indistinguishable graphics and framerate problems make it hard to tell where you are, and *truly awful* controls (nokia's fault, not the developer) make it nearly impossible to pull off any decent tricks. Got sick of it after about forty-five minutes.
Robert Z. gave it a 9:
It is better then the gameboy advance much better.
Simon B. gave it a 9:

Daniel T. gave it an 8:
The best n-gage title so far.
