Blows all other skateboarding games out of the water. | | Zach Baur from Victoria, Australia says (11/Oct/2000): | THPS2 is one of the best games out. Every Aspect of the game would get top marks from me. The Graphics are twice as good as the last Tony Hawk game. The sound makes you feel like you're really on a skateboard, and its lifespan is huge. You have all the skaters from the original. Plus at least 4 more. And the career mode is a lot better as well. Instead of needing tapes to unlock parks. You need money. Whick you can get by finding the letters of SKATE, finding secret Tapes, or money bonuses along the way.
THPS2 is the best skate game around.
| The best game ever!!!!!!!! | | Eck from Fife Scotland says (9/Oct/2000): | Tony hawks 2 is by far the best game ever..The graphics are superb and the music is out of this world.I really dont have much else to say about the game apart from that it rocks!!!!!!!
| A review from the BRD MAN! | | BiG bAd BrD maN from Toronto, Ontario, Canada says (28/Sep/2000): | When one of my friends purchased Tony2 last week he stated "Oh s$!t, the Tony2 tumor is going to be way bigger than the first" Now after a week of some serious "grind sessions" I must forewarn you that he was absolutely right! This game is the real deal. I had played the demo and was so stoked by the little taste they gave us, but let me tell you that that little taste, as great as it was, was not even an acurate sample of how awesome this game is. The possibilities to rack up in this game are endless, with the new addition of the mannual. We were racking up 200 000 point trick's with in a few hours. It took signifigantly longer to achieve this feat in the first one but once we did our high scores rose into the 600 000's and beyond. I look forward to see how "high" we can get with this latest gem of video gaming excellance.
In closing, think of all that time you spent on Tony as putting in your dues in the "minors". Now guess what, you're being called up to the "Big Leauges". Tony'2 is the real deal folks.
Guess who's next up to bat.........
ARE YOU READY!!
| THPS2 Better than First, But Still Lacks. | | Twig from Rhode Island says (27/Sep/2000): | Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is by far the best Playstation game I have ever played. It surpasses its predecessor in gameplay, graphics, fun, and learning curve. However, in many levels the pro score challenge alone is over 100,000 points. In THPS, the pro score tape never surpassed 50,000. My biggest complaint with THPS2 is concerning the soundtrack. Although the tracks from Millencolin, Bad Religion, Papa Roach, Rage Against the Machine and Powerman 5000 are awesome, there are way too many hip hop and rap songs which simply don't belong in a skateboarding game. Also, in THPS I enjoyed every song on the soundtrack (which featured Suicide Machines, Vandals, Goldfinger, among others) where in this one I only like about 5 or 6.
| Amazingly, it surpasses the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater | | Jesse Yeakle from West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA says (25/Sep/2000): | If you compare THPS with THPS2, you will find that this sequel is a worthy competitor. It comes with features such as create a skater, create your own park, several two player games, and level so big you can get lost. The career mode in THPS2 is very different than that of it's parent. Instead of having five challenges per level, and recieving tapes to increase your stats, you make money by completing many more challenges per level. Each completed challenge gives you different amounts of money, which you can use to buy better boards, better tricks, or raise your stats. There are several drawbacks to sequel of last years best sports game. One annoyance that I found was the fact that the skaters seem much slower in the beginning of their career. Also, levels are very hard to complete being that they have 10 challenges and by the fourth level the high score challenge is up to 200,000 points. Ridiculous! The musical score to this games include Rage Against the Machine, Papa Roach, and Powerman 5000. Much better than the last score. In conclusion, I give this game a 10 out of 10 simply because I can not stop playing, and it makes the first THPS seem like childs play. You will definitely get your money's worth on this game!
| Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 | | Pat from Wisconsin, USA says (2/Aug/2000): | There are lots of cool things about it, like create a park, create a skater, 13 skaters are in it (everyone from the first, and then Rodney Mullen, Eric Koston and Steve Cab. were added.) In create a park you can make your own BTT's (Gap names). This is not that much info but for the whole story go to my THPS 1 and 2 site that has codes, gs codes, a strategy guide, gap names from the games, a FAQ, and game reviews and more.
