The Best Extreme Sports Game... wait, theres an N64 version?

Just read the title, this is one heck of a game. I've already mastered this game on the Dreamcast and Game Boy Advance but this N64 version was 9 bucks at Wal-Mart so I just bought it for the cheap price even though I already owned it on 2 other systems. Anyway this is a skateboarding game and you can play as 12 different pros icluding Kareem Cambell, Rune Glifberg, Bucky Lasek and of course Tony Hawk. The gameplay is pretty hard at first but you'll get used to it in no time and start doing 10+ trick combos. The replay value is infinete you'll never get sick of playing it because of all the different tricks you can pull off in the amazingly well set up levels. The levels are fairly huge and are filled with ramps and half pipes and rails to grind. The graphics in this version are a little disapointing mainly because of the cartiridge format the N64 uses. There's mass pop up and fog but it's not too distracting from the gameplay. There's is also slowdown and choppyness when things get extreme and there are a few glitches but once you get into the gameplay it's hardly noticable. The controls are also very good C left does the flip tricks, C up does the grinding on rails, C right does grab tricks and C down does the ollies (jumps). Very easy to control but the the N64 buttons you gotta press down hard unlike the Dreamcast controller. Some of the other features in the game include create a skater and create a park. Create a skater has many different options but it isn't too much of a great thing because when you save a skater it will take up MANY blocks on your memory pak. The create a park feature is one of the greatest modes in the game, you have near control on everything in your "park" and you have hundreds of different ramps and objects to choose from. You can even create your own gaps! The sound effects in the game are great you can here the board roll down the pavement and the metal grinding against the trucks. Now there's the music. There are only 6 soundtracks on the N64 because of again, the cartiridge format and some of the songs are reduced. They are also not a very good quality sounding so I suggest you to turn the music off and turn on the stereo and listen to something else. The music soundtracks arent bad though it's just that the N64 makes it sound like crap, the Dreamcast version has the complte tracks in great quality and the songs are pretty good especially "No Cigar" by Millencolin. The multiplayer in this is also great you can do the normal trick attack where the winner is the person with the most points added up from tricks. There's Horse which is where you and the other player take turns doing tricks and you have to score higher than each others scores so you dont spell out horse or any other word you choose to put in there. Then there's Graffiti which is my favorite where you have to skate on many objects as possible and the person who skated on the most objects when the time is up wins. Overall this game is the greatest extreme sports game ever created to sum up. If you have a Dreamcast or PSone purchase it for those systems but N64 owners must get this.

Best tony hawk game ever

OMG! This game is so freakin' fun! My brother owns the only N64 in the house, and I drive him crazy asking him to play this. It's so much fun. You can make your own levels, or just play the originals (which are great, I must add). If you don't have it, you're missing out!

great gamie

I am a long time Nintendo fan. Even now, when I have a Playstation 2, and no Gamecube, I still like Nintendo more. So this review is not just a bias complaint about Nintendo vs. Playstation.

This version of THPS2 is terrible. Oh, yeah, it's tons of fun when you haven't played the Playstation version, but when you have, you realize just how pitifull this is. On PS, it's rated T, because they don't blurt out words like "hell" on songs. On Nintedno, It's rated E, so the whole family can enjoy censored versions of songs by Powerman 5000, Papa Roach & Rage Aganist the Machine. And another thing music wise: THEY DON'T EVEN PLAY THE WHOLE SONG! They cut out one of the choruses and the verses (this is an example), and just let it go from there. And the track doesn't go to the next track when it's done; it just plays over and over and over, to where you have to change it yourself every 3 listens. And it's not just the music. There's too much to say, so just play the PS version, PLEASE!

This game is one of the best on the N64 system. I first played it on the Dreamcast, but the N64 game is much easier. Everything about it, the graphics, songs and game play is terrific. The two player challenges are very fun and keep you playing for hours, especially with the numerous special pre-made skate parks. This game is also great because you can't just beat it in one day. Over all this, along with the original Tony Hawk is a must have for any N64 owner.

best tony hawk game yet

I [am not good] at skateboarding, but i love this game. it was originally my brother's, but i started playing it when i was BOARD (get it! board!). it was especially fun making skaters, i made one of Tim Armstrong (of Rancid). I play as him all the time. Plus the music is great! it's got Anthrax with Public Enemy, Bad Religion, Millencollin, Rage Against The Machine, and more!

This is an AWESOME game
