After playing the 1st Hawk for like 6 months I decided to buy Hawk 2 to see what all the fuss was about. First thing that I noticed when I started playing were that the graphics were smoother and better looking. The second thing I noticed was that I was really good a Hawk 2 because many of the controls are the same as the 1st 1. this is a good thing I guess. As for the levels, They are very well designed but school 2 doesn't compare to the the first 1. It doesn't have that 1 level that I wanna keep playing over and over. Tony Hawk 2 has many new tricks that can be done. Also, it now has a park editor w/ pre-made parks which is kinda cool. But I like to stick to the real levels. All in all this game is phat. Better than the 1st? yes but barely.
Did someone say Tony Hawk 3???? November, 2001.

This is an awesome game. Even if you are not a skateboarder, you'll enjoy this game very much. I am not a skateboarder, and this game has given me hours of fun. The sound tracks are really cool too.
It'll Be The "Die Hard Trilogy" of Video Games!

Back when the Nintendo Entertainment System was the high-tech video game system, a game called "Skate of Die" came out. It was amazing, it flew of the shelves faster that you could say the title, it started a new mini-genre of games. Over the years, skating games came out trying to do what "Skate of Die" did. Unfortunatly, none of them could. But when "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" came it did what no other game did (no other game but Skate of Die, of course). Just hearing the name, Tony Hawk in a video game title would attract any kid who is normal. It was Neversoft's first release and I think they'll be staying is buisness for awhile. Tony Hawk 1 was simply incredible and brought back that special feeling that Skate or Die put in everybody. And when peolple had finished for Tony Hawk 1, they were craving for something new. Tony Hawk 2 will fill them up just right.
This game is baiscally just like the first one with a few added features which are very welcome. And more of the first isn't bad either. Some of the new features are the park editor which allows you to build your own park, creat a skater which allows you to create your own skater, and new pros and new locations. Some of the tricks are also different, which was a smart move because it proves that this game is better and "newer." And, like the first one, you don't stop playing for hours. I predict that these sequels will keep coming out until Tony Hawk is no longer. By then, we'll have what could be the "Die Hard Trilogy" of video games!
So if you don't have this game, go get (duh!) if you don't have the first one, go get both of'em, and if you don't know about then, you are just plain stupid!
Tony Hawk Rules!!!

Tony Hawk really hits it big on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. It can be frustrating, but I can't stop playing it. If you have number 1 you have to buy this.
Cool Game

This game is fun from the start. You can pick from a wide selection of courses, including Skatestreet, Ventura and Philidelphia with FDR skatepark. Both are real places. The way that the board flips, how the skater's feet move are incredibly accurate. Each skater, including Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Steve Cabellaro and Rune Glifberg all have special moves, which seperate this game from reality. Fun Factor out of 10: a solid 9.5. A must buy for skates and non-skaters alike.

THE ORIGINAL TONY HAWKS WAS THE GAME THAT SPARKED A LONG LINE OF SKATEBOARDING GAMES NONE OF WHICH CAME EVEN CLOSE TO BEING BETTER THAN TONY HAWKS 1 BUT NOW A GAME HAS BEEN BETTER AND WHO ELSE TO DO IT BUT TONY WITH TONY HAWKS 2. WHEN IT COMES TO SEQUELS YOU MIGHT THINK ITS JUST THE SAME OLD STUFF WITH A FEW NEW CHARACTERS AND LEVELS, NOT THE CASE HERE AS WELL AS NEW CHARACTERS AND A WHOLE SET OF NEW LEVELS AND PARKS YOU GET THE CHANCE TO CREATE YOUR OWN DREAM PARK AND YOUR OWN SKATERS BUT THATS NOT ALL THE ENTIRE FEEL OF THE GAME HAS BEEN IMPROVED AND IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. NEVER BEFORE HAS SKATEBOARDING BEEN SO MUCH FUN! (AND SAFE).
Hooked on Hawkes

I'm not a skating fan but after I had played THPS2 i was addicted. On the first day i played it, I couldn't do anything else. I stayed up all night non stop and eventually fell asleep at about 6am. Not only is it addictive but its easy to get a grip of. I admit at first all I did was button bash, but soon I figured out how to gain the most points. The career mode is great if your on your own and graffiti is a great game to play with a friend. The park editor as many options for you to create your dream park. So if you dont have Tony Hawkes Pro skater 2 i suggest ypu get it now.
Tony is the best!
