Best handheld Skating Game Ever

Tony Hawk 2 is better than the first in the sense that it is now 2/3d. The focus is not on racing fast, but on doing tricks, when you do a trick you can actually see your little character do the move. 7 stages including a beach, a school, a park, a street and many more. The characters are not just the same with their stats and with their color, when you choose one you choose him or her because they can do things better or worse. The career mode lets you choose different boards that enable you to do different things. Overall, I think that this is a great game and the best skating game on any handheld.

Better than the first

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a lot better than the first skateboarding game. The outlay of the skating is done in side scrolling slash three-d graphics. There is a PC interface, too.

Why can't they make this like THPS 2 For Playstation?!

When I first picked out this game and read the booklet, I thought this game would be a blast! Well to my surprise, it's not as fun as you think it will be! This game has about 10 tricks you can do. That's it. The levels aren't put together very well and are almost impossible to get cash or good points. The points is another story. In THPS for N64, you can score major points! In this game, the higest combo points I got was 5321. That's nothing compared to THPS for N64 or THPS 2 for Playstation! This game has only two boards you can buy. And they cost a lot! The graphics are exceptional because this is GBC. The levels, verts and streets, are very short! They have no cool stuff like jumping throught secret rooms or special moves like over the pipe or something. When you try to grind, the charater will grind no matter what so that gets boring very quick. I got this game for easter and I haven't played it much because it's so boring! My advice: Don't buy this game. Save your money for a game like Super Mario Bros DX or Mario Golf or even better, Zelda: Links Awakening DX. If you want a very detailed description or Zelda: Links Awakening DX, Look for my friends review on it. His name is Mike Brennan. So save your money man and don't waste it on this game!

Best Skateboarding game Ever!

I bought this game because of a lack of anything else. I made a good choice. This is the BEST game I own. It has all of the best in skateboarding. Everyone has three different boards. There are seven levels. You can print out pictures of tricks with the printer. You can do cool tricks, accomplish four objectives in every level, choose your favorite boarder, buy better boards, grab loose cash, get entry to new skate parks, and then get a password so you can come back to your game later. Cool. Each player has different stats, different clothes, two signature tricks and a special grind. There are thirteen different skateboarders, each with strenghts and weaknesses. Simply the best game. Awesome color. Easy controls. Loads of fun. It keeps me playing for hours. It is fun to go out and see what your highest piont trick you can land is. Every level has the letters S-K-A-T-E which are fun to try to locate. Overall, the best game I've ever played. I would recommend it to any who either (a) likes skateboarding (b) likes to have fun (c) needs a great game It is AWESOME! Very cool. You should consider buying it. It's worth your money!

This game has horrible graphics the skaters are to small to see,
and it has bad game play. You are better off buying it for Dreamcast,Gameboy advance,Playstation and PS2. It is a great game on every system except gameboy color.

Don't always beleive what you read( exept for this)

In all of the reviews I read, nobody likes this game because people expect it to be like Nintendo 64,or Play Station.IT IS GAME BOY COLOR.The gragics aren't to great but they have improved.
THPS2 has 13 skaters: Tony Hawk,Bob Burnquist,Steve Caballero,Kareem Campbell,Rune Glifberg,Eric Koston,Bucky Lasek,Rodney Mullen,Chad Muska,Andrew Reynolds,Geoff Rowley,Elissa Steamer,and Jamie Thomas.And they each have three signature tricks:2 vert,and 1 special grind.It has 8 levels: Skate Park,New York,Hangar,School,Bull Ring,Venice Beach,and Skate Heaven.There are also many Street and Vert Tricks.You can go in carrer mode or free skate. Other people think it's hard to rack up points and buy new skate boards.It is easy if you actually play the game longer than a day.Over all this is a great game, and I also suggest THPS and THPS3.

the best game ever

when i saw all the reviews of the first tony hawk i thought this one would be alot like it but i was wrong.you can really get the feel for skateboarding in this game because of its great graphics and awesome moves . with 7 levels to play in this action packed game you can never get bored and once you have beaten it with,say, tony hawk there is many other skaters to try out in this game. i highly reccommend this game to someone that really wants their moneys value

Skateboarding is fun but not in this game.

Pick one of the skaters and go skate in a street or vert place. Doesn't sound too good. Well, it isn't. The graphics are horrible (for obvious reasons, its GB color!) and tricks are limited. 4 verts, 3 streets. Just dont get this game.

I love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this game because I love skateboarding and this is a skateboarding game. This game does tricks and kind of shows you how to do them in real life.
