My Opinion? Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is The Best Playstation Game Yet! |
 Arend Hart from Michigan says (10/Oct/2000): |
Let's start of with a big HURRAH! for Neversoft, who once again prove they are the best at what they do. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 follows up the already amazing THPS1 with the coolest game for the Playstation yet. These guys really know what they're doing.
Forget Grind Session, Street Sk8ter 2, Thrasher Skate and Destroy and the tedious 2,3xTreme series. None compare to the control and design of the Tony Hawk series. The first one was (and still is) way cool - the second one is a masterpiece.
No other game has such detailed design. From the high-flying airs to the coccyx-shattering ass plants, you'll be left on the edge of your seat for hours on end. Like your favorite bartender's signature Bloody Mary, it's the perfect mix - in this case arcade and sim - and it tastes great with Beer as well. THPS2 is hard enough to be a challenge, but controlled easily enough to get in a groove and run with it.
And, with the new Skatepark Editor and tons of unlockable secrets, THPS2 has unlimited replay value.
I'll say it again...This is by far the BEST Playtation game, ever.
By the way, I'm in the midst of building a class action lawsuit against Neversoft for my twitching eyes, burning forearms and sore thumbs as well as my burnt-up console, all caused by their highly addictive games. Who knows, it might work...it worked on the tobacco companies. If you want a piece of the pie, contact me at arend< remove me > at gimmeabreak.com!
You really should buy this game, but if you want to check it out first, rent it from RedOctane (www.RedOctane.com).
Kudos Neversoft! You guys are the tops in my book!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Is The Best! |
| Eduardo Novoa from Monterrey, Mexico says (17/Oct/2004): |
Songs, controlling, etc. it's unvelievable that activision made this game! The best part of the game is when you unlock the skate heaven. Chopper Drop, hawaii sucks all the way, but it's funny to drop to the sharks!. Well, other cool part of the game is completing all the gaps, man! how i got disgusted trying to get some of the hardy ones! bu they're all clear by now. It would be nice that the programmers had the idea of changing the grinding trick while you are grinding as you can do in THPS 4, and also the same stuff with the liptricks. It's cool to play out with officer Dick and private carrera. Little Person in THPS 4 is really stupid, though. Looks like i'm comparing THPS 2 and 4. the 3rd. is kinda silly, but both of them are the ones i like. Please email me.

This game is cool but.... Tony Hawks Underground is soo much Better |
| A gamer from New Fairfield, Conneticut, USA says (4/Nov/2003): |
This games graphics were cool and it was so much fun to get so high off the ground and do the tricks that i need to learn to do! This is funny but the game tought me how to skateboard better and it got me into it even more. I can't wait until the next Tony Hawk game comes out!

This is a classic for the ages! |
| Shane Kimberlin from Kenny Lake Alaska USA says (12/Jun/2003): |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 might be the exact definition of gaming bliss. whether you beleive so or not, think about this detail before you judge. Every "extreme" sports game has been influenced by this classic release since it came out. SSX, Aggresive Inline, and others are direct cousins to Tony Hawk's gameplay and style. The music features some of the best music ever to grace video games. Rage Against the Machine, Styles of Beyond, Naughty by Nature, and so many more make this the game if you want good music. The Graphics pump all that's worth out of the limited playstation processor.
OK, so nice models and sound are groovy, but what makes this game so good is it's gameplay. from collecting cash to racing the timer to get your points in, you will have quite a good time even on free skate. you can make a skater and turn him into a pro. park editor offer great variety in the pieces, and it's fun to be a tester for your masterpeice. The levels are diverse and big. You'll go everywhere from Mexico to a school and even to Skate Planet.
Graphic Snobs may moan and perfectionists will complain, but if you want a game that does everything good in everyway, buy Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Also, this game is cheap in price, which means the rich and the poor can have this game.

TONY WHO |
| MuNkY from England says (22/May/2003): |
I played the first tony hawks that came out and that was the first time i had herd of tony. NONE of my mates skate so thay had not herd of him ither. Then this game came out and everyone whent tony mad. Now half of my city skate because of this game. Its the best one for playstation out of the 1 & 2 & 3. This game has some realy cool moves and the cheats are amazing. Dont soil the game by using them until you have completed the game. everytime you complete it with a differnt person you ern a new cheat. The levels are a lot bigger than the first and you can create your own. I have a gamecube and tony hawks 4 but if it wasnt for the sales this game made tony hawks 4 probably wouldnt be out there.

Very Awesome |
| Zack from Tucson, Az USA says (26/Dec/2002): |
Sweet game! The goods: Killer soundtrack, cool real-life skaters, awesome parks, absolutly gnarly tricks, THPS 2 introduced the "Manual" trick so you can combine tricks for more points, better than average frame-rate, better options than THPS, hidden parks. The bads: Camera need a little bit of work, controls sometimes a little buggy. Like skating games without the funky twist like "Street sk8ter"? Buy THPS 2!

A Skater's Dream Come True |
| A gamer from Pennsauken, NJ , USA says (8/Jun/2002): |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the best game ever!!! You can fly in this game and go to Skate Heaven (If you have the right codes). After about an hour, you will have already finished the first player. My favorite level has to be School 2. There is this secret place that no one knows, unless you get the secret tape in that level. The competitions are way harder than in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. This game seems sooooo much better. If you don't have this game, you better turn off this computer, go to a video game store, and buy this mother f#< remove me > at *ing game. As my brother would say 'This is the sh*t!! You have more clothes and characters to choose from and the graphics are really awsome. I do like the create your own skater mode. The more new skaters, the better. I also think that the cursing in this game is really interesting.

ITS DA BOMB, WHO THOUGHT SKATING WOULD BE THIS FUN |
| Candice from Johannesburg, South Africa says (22/Dec/2001): |
Its got GREAT graphics. The moves are amazing!!!
The stages are BETTER THAN THE LAST.
The players are unique and have their own special way of skating.
If you have an oppurtunity to buy it.
DONT WAIT BUY IT THE MINUTE YOU LAY EYES ON IT.
Its great believe me.

An Excellent game unlike any other! Keep up the great work Neversoft |
| adam from Sydney, Australia says (1/Oct/2001): |
well, what can i say, except "HOLY CRAP!" this game is unlike any other game to take to the playstaion. i purchased this game before even trying it out or reading a review, beacause i knew if it was anthing like the first Tony Hawk then i would be somewhat not let down and even flabergastured. that i was!
THPS2 is undoubtly one of the best games on the playstation. it gameplay is stunning and so is the whole structure and engine the game runs on. this game boasts superb graphics and music that is rivalled by no other game. this is a beauty!
the new stages are so well set up and reaslistic (and they are HUGE!) that i feel like i am really in phillidelphia or venice beach grinding a rail with Fu Manchu's "evil eye" booming on a stereo in the background. the new skaters as well as the originals are even better then they were in the first Tony Hawk with new tricks to accompany them and stylish new clothes they wear, sponsered by the top skating brands.
2 player action is great fun with new modes such as tag and a mode that the original lacks, free skate, for the non competitive wimps out there.
to sum up my review i would like to say that this game in an excellent one that is a must purchase if you wish to get the most out of your playstation. keep up the good work neversoft!

Better than grind session |
| Bill Clinton from Afganistan says (19/Jun/2001): |
i got the demo for grind session in the mail one time and it was a really bad game compared to this one. thps2 is a really good game and it costs about 40 dollars. it is the best skating game ever, at least until thps3 comes out in november. grind session is an annoying game, there are way too many skaters that i've never heard of, it all takes place in canada, there are only six skaters, and the music is a guy whose voice crackes alot. thps2 is way better in all of those catagories than grind session. tony hawk is better than any skater on gs. no butts about it.

Most addictive, entertaining game ever!!! |
| Evan from Calgary, Alta, Canada says (28/May/2001): |
It's games like these that give companies like N 64, Play Station, and PS2 something that you need to buy. The game surpasses the first one in many ways. More moves, more characters, better designs, better features on the characters. There was something that has been distracting me for a while though. When you create a skater, it's fun to use him a lot, and you use him as your main character. It kind've takes away the enjoyment of the other characters. Same with the parks, you make one, and continuesly play on that one, while the other parks aren't used as much.
Another thing that bugs me on it is the amount of goals there are in the level, in the first one there was only 5 fairly difficult ones, in this there's 10, and it's difficult to get only 4 in some of the more difficult ones. Philadelphia is probably the worst level they made too, it's pure grinding accept for a hidden area. I had to use cheats to get some of them.
All in all though, even with those defaults, the game is a must need game to buy. The two player makes you wanna have a friend over finally, the new levels, and variety of moves are amazing, and the new characters are awesome!
This is most diffinetly one of or not if the best games ever!

PHATEST SEQUEL TO THE PHATEST PLAYSTAYTION GAME |
| Emil Serrano, Jr. from Bridgeport, Conneticut says (25/May/2001): |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the phatest game you could possibly buy. The controls are a little hard to get used to but once you get the hang of it you'll love it. It has everything a skating fan would want. Park editor, you can make your own skater and the variety of triks is wild. One minor setback in the game is that there are not enought levels but if you really want to enjoy the game first beat it without codes the fun will last! One thing to remember is that if you want a good game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the one!

Great Game for sure enjoyment |
| Andrew from Brighton, England says (15/Apr/2001): |
I have only just bought a couple of days ago (15/04/01) and i have already played it a TON of times. It just rocks. I myself had NEVER played TH1 so cant compare the two together, but from what ive seen in the past day, it must be the best sakteboarding game ever made. The graphics are fine, gameplay is excellent and there is a great range of different modes, moves and characters. I have only had it sice yesterday, so i cant comment on what its like from long time use, but i can tell you that i think ill be playing it for a long time to come.

The Best Skating Game EVER!!!!! |
| The Extremist from Liverpool, England says (10/Apr/2001): |
I had bought Tony Hawks the first time it came out and found out how frustrating it can be. Then they brought out the sequel. I decided not to buy it. Then all my friends who had it were saying how great it was. I decided to buy it. I realised how stupid I was not to buy it when it first came out. This game is Da Bomb. Excellent graphics, great gameplay, amazing moves. Now I can skate in my own park with my own skater aswell! If you haven't got this game then you are an idiot. BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
