Aaron S @RT79746728 Jun 26, 2023 It's really great. It's inspirational, thoroughly enjoyable, and gratifying. THPS 2 is my favorite game ever made, and as someone who plays a ton of games, that's not a flippantly made statement. So anything about this franchise I'm going to enjoy. What this doc isn't though is Until the Wheels Fall Off - the skateboarding doc centered on Tony's life and skating culture that came out in 2022. That doc is eye opening and deeply felt. Pretending is very breezy and light on the actual details of creating the video games. It's more of a retrospective than anything else which is completely fine, but it leaves a tiny bit to be desired by comparison for two docs that are a little samey. I would've liked a little more of a deep dive into the game creation but for what this is, it is still very good.

One thing that stands out is how welcoming, accepting and grateful skateboarders are. It certainly seems like a nice group of people, albeit not very diverse! It's fine and if you're into docs, it flies by at just over an hour. Tony Hawk is living his best life! Final Score: 7/10 See more Aug 23, 2020 This movie captures the heart and soul of what the Tony Hawk series did for skateboarding and everyone who has played the game. See more Read all reviews
