I wasn't really exited when i read that Tony Hawk 2 had been released,... i couldn't have cared less, but my best friends were exited about this game, so since they liked it so much, it couldn't be all bad, so i bought it and i'd think that was the smartest thing i've ever done in purchasing games, cause Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is the one of the most enjoying games i've ever played, although it's not deep, no exeptional features, nor a plot (which i think is essential in most games) it just creates a smile on your face, it's so fun playing it, and you can become very very good at this game, and then enjoy it even more.

I've also found that you don't get bored of this game, it's always as fun even when you've played it all through, finished it with all the skaters, it's extremely enjoyable. The moves are all very very well done, and the tricks are very realistic except for how high you jump.

the graphics are clean and smooth, and the music is delightful it's fun for everybody, so i guarentee you much fun.... Thanks for reading. i hope you'll find this review helpful

Awesome! Awesome game!

I was never really a skater but when Tony Hawk's pro skater demo came out I was hooked and I had to get it! Now that THPS2 is out it's even better! much more to collect and see you can even play as Spider-Man! How cool is that! I remember when the THPS2 demo came out for PC I downloaded it and had a blast! It was so cool I got a score of over 945,600 on my 3rd try! I just love this game! and if you have a Network then you and whoever else is there can go Head to Head with each other Believe me it's fun! All's what I can say is that this beats the PSX version buy 10 fold! You should really get a PSX PC pad for this game if so it plays and feel's just like the PSX version just with better Graphics and control.

A Good Reveiw

I belive this is a very well made game and should make a lot of money. There are so many maps and tricks to this game that it makes the play length never end. I downloaded the demo and i was playing one map for a total of like 5 hours in about a week and after that i was still finding out new tricks. This game is a must for all the skaters out there and people that just wanna get a good score on a awsome skateboarding game.

Entertaining skateboard game

To tell you the truth, I'm not much of a skateboard fan, but I thought I would check this game out none the less. My first thoughts are that the game is actually quite good. The graphics are excellent, especially if you have a system that handles 3d well. The one thing I think could be improved is the perspective you have while you are riding around. Its kind of disorienting when you jump up and spin or do some other trick. It just has a wierd view which takes some getting used to. I also gave this four stars cause I don't think this game will have much re-playability for me. Its fun for awhile, but I'm starting to loose interest. I'm sure skateboard fans will really like this game. My suggestion is to try out the demo first, and if you like it, buy it.

I still hadn't gotten sick of the demo after a month of play (527,000+ score) when I picked up the full version last week. What a blast...this is the kind of game you could spend years trying to master, and there is no limit to the possibilities for play. The graphics are superb, as are the sound effects. The keyboard seems to work well for me, but I might have to go get a good gamepad to see if it's better. That seems to be the consensus. GET IT.

Excellent game

Excellent game, i got the demo, and it is supposed to feature all new levels, and players, features include "the park editor" which you can make your own dream skate park, and "Create a skater" from which you can make your own personalised pro-skater, with the park editor, and the create a pro-skater features, you can personalize your pro-skater experience better than ever! this is bound to be the Playstation release of 2000!

Great game!!

This is a favorite of mine. I downloaded the demo and got hooked on it imediatly. The full blown version has so much more to offer! The create a skater mode, and create a skate park mode are very cool! The Free Skate mode is one of my favorite modes. I am a former skate border, so I gravited toward this game. I did notice it is not super windows friendly. I am running on a Windows 98 Pentium 2 400mhz box. I can't switch between applications (alt +tab)(it closes the program if you try), and still need the CD to start it up (am working on fixing that). Other then those two minor glithces, this game rocks! Would highly recomend getting a game pad for it. I started playing on the keyboard, but switched to a game pad. If you love this game, I would highly recomend buying the strategy guide to the game as well. It has all of the secrets and other goodies about the game in it.

Highly Recommended - by a non-skater!

I prefer less hazardous sports than skateboarding (like skydiving for instance) and always laugh when I see some idiot slip off the rail, sans protective gear, and do a faceplant into the concrete. That said, I'll admit this game is addictive enough to give skaters a little respect.

I've never played the original Tony Hawk so I can't really compare this version, but it looks like it's a port from the console. No biggie, it still looks and plays great and the system requirements are minimal provided you have a good 3D card. The game is a reflex test, like Mortal Kombat. This is not a simulation, so you'll be doing those pro moves in no time. Timing is key, and the best moves are performed when you have a combination of speed and accrued experience, meaning you were able to execute enough moves without messing up.

There are a *ton* of moves available for button mashers. Every board flip, grind, and grab can be performed differently depending on which direction you are pointed and which button you are pressing. Tricks even vary depending on which skater you choose, but not wildly. Objectives can vary from collecting pilots wings in an airplane hanger to hassling the bums on Venice Beach. Speaking of which, the locations are very well done and the music's good too even though the sound quality is a little poor. It is apparent this game would best be played on a gamepad, but you can still get away with using the keyboard. I find myself frequently discovering new moves.. phrases such as "hey, a One-Foot-Smith. That's pretty cool. How did I do that?" will become common.

The best feature of the game are the "hidden" areas opened up by exploring and performing tricks. Grind the board off the helicopter blades and it takes off through the roof. Get run over enough times and pretty soon you'll searching for a tomato-throwing maneuver (if you find it, let me know). If you're really good, Spider-Man may drop in for a visit.

Fun game and worth the purchase price. Buy it, then get the neighbor kid to show you all the cool moves.

Super graphics and great game play!

What a game!! It is just sooooooo good. The level are just so life like and the tricks that you can do are really good and fun to be able to master. It takes a bit of getting used to on the keyboard but if you have a joypad then i can imagine that it would be even better. The graphics are just so superior and great compared to any console. So if you are going to have to choose between the pc version or one on a console then you should go for this. It even loads quicker then them. It is so advanced to the previous in that you can create your own skate park which is a bit of fun but can be hard to do so but who needs to do that when there are so many pre made parks to try out and edit yourself. You can even creat your own skater which is a very good idea, i havent my self but my friend has created the best one! If you complete some of the game then you will get a few of the levels that were on the first one which are also really great to play on, as i have waited for this to come out on the pc as soon as i player the first on one a playstation and fell in love with it! Once you start to play it, you cannot get off it, its so great and loads of secret places on each level to find out and a huge variety of tricks that you can do and then are all easy to master once you get the hang of them. The good thing is that even if you don't want to have a career then you can just have a free skate and go on any level that you have opened and all the pre made ones. I have had this since christmas and you usualy grow out of something when you have had it for a long time but i can't get off it, because i just want to get to the next level and open up the next level and find out many more tricks and stuff. I don't believe that i will say this but you are just like a real skater as you buy your own bored, new tricks and better stats which is really fun, as the more tricks and stats that you have the better you will skate and more things that you can do. I don't want to be classed as a "skater" but this is really good and like that! If you have played or have the first one then you will not be disappointed with this brilliant follow up.
