One word: Great. Not perfect, my guy goes unconscious(floats about 1 foot off the ground at times, glitch), etc. but still a great game. I am not an XTreme sports fan(skateboarding, snowboarding, etc.) and have never played the origional, but I did play the Demo in the the Jampack Summer 2000, first demo ever to sell me a game. Great graphics, unlimited replay, make your own bloopers!, skatepark and skater creator add to the fun. If you own a PlayStation, GET THIS GAME!

twice as sick as the first

this game is one of the best. my friend let me borrow his demo and i loved it. it made me put my pads on.it has more tricks for the skaters,more outfits 4 them and a lot more challenging. plus the career mode is real. you earn money 4 completing level goals then you can buy decks,tricks, and stats. you feel like u r hanging with hawk!tired of the boring parks? build your own! make gaps and rails. want a new boarder? create your own!mohawk or gotee? you decide! play tag with your bud or horse! like i said this game rocks!

What are you guys Knucklin' Futs!? This game rocks!

This review is for all those whiners and crybabys that gave this game a bad review because they had to deal with music they didn't like and added features that didn't strike their fancy.

Listen up!

This game exceeds THPS by leagues, for those of you that are spacial challegened, thats about 3 miles.

If you find yourself complaining about being able to build your own skater, select what tricks you do, what your special moves are, and what series of finger movements you need to achieve them with, you need your head examined!

If you're complaining about the graphics or gameplay cause you can't seem to land that big trick perfectly I've got two things to say. Aside from your head you should probably go visit the optometrist, and a, hey, monkey-boy, thats why they made a free skate. PRACTICE YOUR MOVES!

Reading through the ads I was excited to see how many people liked and loved the game for all its amazing new features. Still I found people complaining about something unheardof in gaming. COMPLAINING ABOUT GETTING POINTS! They put the manuals in to make the game more challenging and fun. I know I like to be able to rack up enormous amounts of points using manuals, plus manuals are a trick that can be done in actual skating. To leave it out would be depriving skaters of a connecting trick.

In my opinion anyone that gives this game anything but 4 stars is Knucklin' Futs! And should be examined by a medical professional.

The Tightest Game Ever

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is no doubt the best Playstation game ever, 10x better than the first. You can do all kinds of tricks like noseblutslides, bluntslides, tailslides, noseslides, bs, and fs, overcrook, and more. If you love grinding and catching air than you would want to get this game. Manuals are awesome in the new Tony Hawk. Manuals allow you to extend your combo making you transfer to other rails while still keeping you score.

If you don't own this game something's wrong

If you ever played Tony Hwks Pro Skater and you suddenly found yourself in awe look for number 2. There are more skaters, you can create your own skater, you can build your own skate park, you can unlock more people, and there are tons of new tricks and levels (including some of the most famous skateparks there are. There are now 10 different goals to complete. They range from high scores to draining a fountain. In each level you must get a high score, pro score, and sick score. The points to get them vary in each level. You also must get a secret tape. The rest of the goals pretain to whats in the level and what makes sense. You cannot completely 100% the level without collecting the cash. You also get cash for completing level objectives. You can use the money to buy stats, tricks, and boards. You also unlock levels by getting money and medals. The levels are (these are in order).

The hangar: Your basic practice level. A huge halfpipe in front of you, plenty of rails to grind, and a plane and helicopter (tip, grind the propellor of the helicopter and see what happens).

School II: Remember school in the first one? There's a new one. To be honest I like School in the original better but II is pretty good too. Lots to grind but not much vert. Oh watch out for the maniac golf cart driver.

Marseille France: The first competition. Plenty of bowls and vert while the street course has places to grind and manual.

New York City: This level has everything. A subway, cabs, a statue (not the statue of liberty) and more. grind the subway rails to get a level goal and get to a different area .

Graffiti Pits, Venice Beach: Lots of vert stuff here while there is also plenty of street. Get up on the roof or ollie the magic bum. It's all good.

Plywood Paradise: A real skatepark and your second competition. If you like vert turn around and session the huge half pipe and bowl. If you like street, unlock the secret areas and hit he big points there.

Philadelphia: Philidelphia has a fountain, (tip, drain it and see what's inside) a bus, a bacony, and a hidden skatepark. The part you start in is all street but get the hidden skatepark and vert skaters have it made.

The Bullring: This is the last level. A competition. There is a bull and plenty of other things to end your career off on a good note. There's a halfpipe and crisscrossing wires up high to grap some money.

This is a must have game. Whether you are a fan of skateboarding games or not the great gameplay will keep you coming back for more!!!!!

This is an awesome game that rocks the house!

I deffenitly reccommend this game. it is so cool. i've played it at my friends house, and now im going to buy it at amozon.com. Amozon.com sells Tony awk Pro Skater 2 for an extremely low price. i reccommend getting it here. This game is worth it.

Hawk is tight.

This game is a 100 better than the last one. The demo alone has caused me hours of lost sleep and work productivity time. I have marked my calendar for the day it releases. The addition of Rodney Mullen gives it the feel of old-school skating before vert got popular. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys THPS1.

Hey Man, I've played the game man. It's new man. I liked it ALOT. You Can Skateboard like, ah, Tony Hawk and stuff, mmm yeah ! I also like the way you can build the tracks to you own size and specification. In retrospect I'm really fired up and I can't wait to have Tony Hawk delivered ..........

A bit disappointing

Don't get me wrong, the game is great but not as good is what I was hoping for. Me and my friends have been playing this game a bunch for the past few days but have gone back to playing the new Dave Mirra game. Why? Cause Mirra's got more levels, more tricks, and a hilarious multiplayer game where you try to do the worst wipeout possible.

Best Game Ever

Ok so maybe it's not the BEST game ever, but play it for a few hours and it sure feels like it. Drawing on the gameplay style of the original, THPS2 goes where no game has gone before -- to any corner of the game playing experience, from playing alone for 10 hours straight to making it social with the plethora of 2 player options, including customizable Horse, free skate, point challenge, tag, and graffiti -- my favorite. The one player mode is wrought with options, from Create Park to Create Skater, to simply the career mode itself.

The 12 levels, increasing in size and difficulty until you get to and win at the Bullring, capture the range of ability and adaptation of each skater and player, and the vast array of secrets in each level not only keep you playing for days until you've found them all, but long after trying to better your score. The biggest addition from the original is the pervasive usefulness of manuals to combine tricks into amazing combos. I have been increasing my score monthly on The Hanger alone since early last year, which goes to show that the game always has new ways to play -- over, and over, and over again. You can't get tired of this game!

So, raise a glass to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, the best study break of all time. Enjoy it alone or with friends; either way, you won't be disappointed.
