            About two years ago I was really into skateboarding and i just loved it.  i then got into videogames. I was reading an issue of GAMEPRO magazine and saw that TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER was going to be released in Fall '99.  I  bought the game as soon as it was released!  I have been hooked on this  game for over three months now.  The gameplay is tremendous.  This game is  not like ones that if you try to turn off onto a side street and it will  bounce you off.  In THPS you can skate freely ANYWHERE! The game includes  all major skaters including Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, and Chad Muska. The  levels, in this game, really make everything happen!  There are skateparks  and streets from all over the country! I give this game the highest rating  possible!  It is worth the money and there is no need for a sequal. Like  PRINGLES says.. Once you pop you cant stop!
        
            
Blissful gift, trust me.

            If you are considering buying this game for a son, nephew, husband or friend, stop thinking. BUY IT. I am a 35-year-old avid game player and father, and I believe this is one of the best PlayStation games available,  and one of the most fun single or multi-player videogame ever made. And I  have never ridden a skateboard. GET IT.

            Well i purchased Tony Hawk figuring it would just be a normal ok game but it is ten times better then i thought it would be its the best game in the world.You can do a seemingly everlasting amount of truicks after my friend tried the game he bought it for his N64 within 7 days of my purchase of the  PlayStation version. The graphics are solid the sound on PlayStation is  btter then N64's and has awesome punk music.  The game is extremely  addictive.  The level design is excleent.  You can skate around downtown  Minneapolas and get hit by cars.  You can skate around San Fransisco. And  it features a New York Mall, A school in Miami. And if oyu get far enough  in hte game you can visit Roswell,New Mexico and see the aliens and UFO. I  give this fame a 6/5

            There is only one word to describe Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, AWEWSOME! This  is the best Playstation game ever made. The graphics are great especially  the blood when the skaters make a spill. The levels are humongous and  nothing but excitement all around. I just regret i didn't get this title  sooner. The controls could be a lot better but I finally got the hang of it  after long hours of practice. Great game.
        
            
One of,  if not the best video games'!

            Very fun hard to give it up after playing for the first time. Will have fun for months and months.  All of your friends can compete with you. I would say that it is the best two player competition that there is!
        
            
FUN!  SAFER THAN THE REAL THING!

            This is the best video game I have ever played (and I own 4 different game systems)!   Music fits the mood. Love the courses! Fun to play when your out with a broken foot from falling during a half-pipe move! Doctor  recommended too!  GREAT FOR AGES 5 ON UP! Kids love beating you in the  Graffiti mode or HORSE. Warning to parents with younger children!  There is  some colorful language used in a few of the songs on this game!

            This game showcases some of the best level design and graphics on the PlayStation.  Simple controls and forgiving physics make it easy to bust out incredible tricks on your first run.  If you're a hardcore gamer or  skater you may also want to look at the new "Thrasher" game from  Rockstar - different style, more realistic, more tricks.  Depends on what  you like.

            This game is the best game I have ever played for any system.  The graphics rule, the gameplay takes awhile to get the hang of the tricks, but once you do it is sweet, the courses rule, you can go anywhere from a  warehouse to a school and even the mall!The skaters are based on real-life  pro's (duh!), the skateboards are from real-life companies, and you can  even choose your skateboard wheel color!  I would recommend this game to  anyone!  Even if you don't like skateboarding or skateboarding video games,  I swear, you will absolutely love this game!

            I love this game. I personally don't know a thing about skating in real life, maybe that's why I love this game so much.  I've been addicted to this game every since the first time I played it over at a friends  house,the moves are easy to get a handle on, but mastering to be the  best,hmmm. Let's just say you'll enjoy learning how to become the best on  the P.S.  I honestly do enjoy this game.  The graphics could be better as  with all P.S. games, but it so much fun to play, especially against friends  in "Horse" or whatever you change the name of it to :).  Play  this game once and I know you'll play again and again.
