alright i would first like to say that i actually skate, and i am not a fat man on his couch that plays video games all day long. i have found one word to describe the quality of this game: poor

first: Insanely unrealistic ,hey sorry to tell you if you actually think this could happen,but there is no way ever that someone could ever do a 73 trick combo let alone 1 % of the stuff you can do in that game, which i have done becuaes it is extremely easy, i think i got like over 5hundred thousand points on one trick one time... i rented it and played it for like 2 days

second: if you actually pay attention, you might notice that all the ledges in the game are about 3 feet taller than your skater, and since the highest ollie ever is around 5 feet by stacy lowery, it is just about impossible to do overturned crook grinds on 8 foot ledges

third; tony hawk has made many little children want to start skating, everywhere you look now there are little children skating and if you talk to them i can guarantee you that they will say "hey man have you ever played tony hawk??", its like an teenybopper trend and it needs to stop ..... now

do not buy this game, if you really want to buy a game that is worthwhile and fun and hard and realistic, get thrasher, its realistic and fun and great

just dont buy this poor attempt at what skating really is

Awful

This was possibly the worst playstation game I played at the E3 convention. Awful graphics, awful control, awful everyting. You are better off getting this game for the Dreamcast, which was superfly. If you buy this game, you need to seek help. Whichever is best for you.

Seriously! This game is so ill!

I made this one star because if your like me i dont read too many 5 start reviews because everyone has the same opinion, i tend to look at only the bad reviews, this isnt a bad review but keep reading. I am an ex skater, currently practicing architect. I bought the first version and thought TOny 1 was off the hook, i was a bit leery about the sequel because the developers usually [mess] it up. However, this game is far more better then Tony 1. If the soundtrack doesnt get you into the game i dont know what will, killer soundtrack. The skaters are impecable with more control for the user. I swear playing with Cab takes me back to the bones brigade days!Dude, what happened to Lance. The levels are phat and much bigger. Whoever says that this game [isn't good] should just throw away they're playstation. Hey guys get working on Tony 3, and bring back the other old school skaters.

A LOT WORSE THAN THE FIRST

The first Tony Hawk's:Pro Skater, besides Grind session, was THE BEST skating game there is to date. The FUN FACTOR FOR THE FIRST WAS SO GOOD. The skaters were fun, the multiplayer mode was great, the trics were sweet, and you kept the tricks you had.

In the 2nd things aren't qute as great. Although having music that people have actually heard of, like Papa Roach, and Rage Against the Machine, and yes even Powerman 500. And the graphics are a lot more weird. In this game you have to buy your tricks for your skaters. Instead of tapes in this one you get money. They also have manuals which are pretty cheap because you can keep doing them to gain racks of points over someone who has no idea what they are.They also take off points if you land the tricks sloppily or give points if you do them perfect. Levels are not as fun at all, and do not even come close to the levels in the first one, such as warehouse and different skate parks. Oh and the level building opton. Sure good idea, but it takes a lot of time and if the levels aren't that fun to play on then there's no point. The one good option they gave was the 2 player free skate and tag, 2 new choices to the old multiplayer. Overall I didn't like this gagame at all. options. I'mnever renting this game, I wouldv'e given it Zero but they didn't have the option.

The Worst!

Gave it a one star just so you would read my review...

First I must say skating is life and life is skating, this game is something to keep me amused when I cant skate.

My life has been all about skateboarding and video games. Since the Atari 2600 I've been trying to find a game that gave me the same rush that skating gives me. This game is almost funner than skating itself. I was hooked on the first one but it left much to be desired, like the manual, rock and roll, and tailslides. The sequel is now complete and I can't think of one thing that can be done to improve this game. You can build your own park and make your own skater. This software is not only a game but a tool that can be used by skaters for skaters to come up with new lines and help in building new parks. The possibilities are literally endless, for I can't seem to cease coming up with new things that can be done with this game.

I own the N64 and the first one ran great on that. But when I found out it wasn't coming out for the N64 I went out and bought a playstation just for this game. Crazy, but well worth it.

Peace and keep sk8ing

I bought this for my 8 year old grandson for Christmas and his father took it away from him due to the nasty language and songs on it.

Gets old after a few hours

I bought this game after hearing everyone say how great it is. I have previously been burned after going for games, movies, etc that everyone said was excellent. I dunno, maybe I have very high expectations when everyone builds something up? anywho, this game is a disappointment. The tricks are fun to do for the first couple of hours or so, but it gets old real quick, plus the difficulty of accomplishing the missions objectives is, in my opinion, needlessly difficult.

I got this game for Christmas and I've stopped playing it already (today's 12/27/2001). Waste of $20...

I didnt love this game quite as much as the first one. First of all, the soundtrack isn't as great. The first game's soundtrack was very catchy and never got old. Even though the Tony Hawk 2 has more songs, it is more rap and light rock. I liked the pop and hard rock feel of the first game. Second of all, some of the challenges are almost impossible. Who can expect you to beat the game when you have to score 240,000 in 2 minutes? In this game, you do not truly earn new decks, stats, and levels, you have to pay for them. I personally don't this feature. Career mode, overall, is very weak.

The one thing that wowed me, however, was the skate park editor. I like the idea that you can have almost complete freedom in creating your skatepark. The only thing I do not particularly like about this game is that there is a specific limit on number of ramps, rails, and risers, but I guess it keeps you from making your park impossible to ride in.

Overall, I guess this is an allright game, but the fun factor of this game is not as great. The only thing I advise, though, is to rent this before you spend ... or more on this game.
