This game is awesome! I haven't bought it yet. I got it at the public library. I played it and it is so fun. I didn;t think i would like it so i just thought i might try it. It takes 350, or 650 MB but it's worth it. I have a two month old computer that's fast.

This game has it all. Great graphics, great music and great gameplay. The sounds are so realistic and it is so much fun to play against your freinds, or by yourself. It has all the world's best skaters, Hawk, Campbell, Muska and a lot more along with great boards and great locales.

Don't buy this game for the Career Mode

I bought this game thinking it would be cool to compete against other skaters in career mode, but this game is really simply an arcade style game. The career mode, is you against the level. I was really wanting to see the runs of the other skaters, and feel like I was competing more with them directly. A fun game for arcade fans, but for those interested in career, don't get it.

THIS IS THE BEST SPORTS GAME EVER!!!!!

I have never so much as touched a skateboard in my life, but I was bored one afternoon so I d/led the THPS2 demo. I haven't stopped playing it for more than an hour or so since. I bought the game and was thrilled. I love the feeling of looking at the clock, seeing 3:23 AM and going "Just one more round, I want to see if I can get on top of that one thing" and seeing the sun come up after 37 rounds of free skate.

The Career mode is a little off, but not bad. I like collecting things to an extent, but would of rather had a direct competition with other skaters.

The Park and Skater creators add literally tons of replay value and enjoyment to the game. If everything else starts to bore you make an awesome park, no more boredom, simple!

The soundtrack is fitting, i'm not a fan of that style of music but it doesn't really get annoying until you have played for 7 hours straight. The sound effects are excellent and sound real.

Its reletively easy to pick up and play, it might take 5 minutes to an hour if your not a gamer to really play but the controls are to no extent insurmountable.

You really have to play to know what I mean but this game is great, I love asking myself "What if I do this..." and finding a new secret trick thing area, this is really fun! You can really get good, try the demo. At first I said "Good God 40,000!" but now its easy to get that with a single trick thats well executed. You will be breaking 500,000 points on the demo in no time, maybe 2 1/2 hours of play tops.

In short, this is the best investment of 30$ in a game I have made yet. Its already paid for itself. I am sure you will enjoy it too. Get it and see what I mean, or get the demo. Either way you will be hooked.

goes beyond 5 stars! The most edictive game out there!

This is just simply the best game you can buy. The graphics are pretty good it has the best soundtrack ever ( I could just listen to the music all day). You don't even have to like skateboarding to enjoy it. At first the controls are strange but after a while you'll be use to it. I played it so much by computer would quit me out of it because the CD was overloading. You can play all day and not get tired of it. It is the best skateboarding game out there. Buy it.

Stoned on TH2!

This Game is so addictive that I rented it about 5 times before I bought it. Very Fun worth all the money.

Even though I am more of an adventure/RPG gamer, I really liked Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Travel to different cities and parks, go for the gold in three skate competitions, choose from the best pro skaters or create your own, even design and test play your own skate park! Also, there are multiplayer games, some that you only need one computer to play on, others that you can play through a network connection. This game has it all.

I'll just get to the negatives. The reasons I gave it only 4 stars is:

1. If you fall during a "chain" of tricks, you get ZERO points for all your effort.

2. At least on my 450mhz/RivaTNT machine, sometimes the skater won't turn when I tell it to ...

3. Some of the hidden areas are impossible to find w/out searching the internet for clues.

4. In order to unlock the final level, you have to 100% all the previous levels (and win 3 gold medals) with EACH of the 5 (or so) skaters included in the game. This would take me about 2 years to complete - BOGUS (I hate cheating).

5. Finally, I think the people/graphics look a little cheezy (the locations, ramps and skies look pretty good, though).

Other than that, it's a great investment! (If you're like me, you'll yell at your computer allot - in a good way)
