Product Description

Product Description

With shopkeepers, pedestrians, and The Man hassling you, what's a skater to do? You need to find a place to put in the bruising, bone-braking hours needed to hone your skills. With Street Sk8er 2, you simply turn an abandoned warehouse into your own personal skate park. Use the natural obstacles such as pipes and rails as departure points for your tricks and combos (over 200 to put in your repertoire). Once you've got the space as you like it, slap it on a separately sold memory card, truck it over to your friend's PlayStation, and see how your friend does.

Once you've got the moves down, take them to the crowd in the three-level Street Tour World Championship. Race against the clock while collecting special trick points in 11 events that include street, halfpipe, and park courses. Don't worry if you have trouble hanging with the big boys--Street Sk8er 2 has a variety of skill levels and a free-skate mode that lets you indolently explore the game's many courses.

This review is from: Street Sk8er 2 (Video Game)

Given that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is bound to be rented out at your local video store, and always sold out at retail outlets, and never *ever* available used, this game can give you a temporary skateboarding fix. It appears to use the same engine as Pro Skater, with a similar look and feel to both games.

The difference is in the details. Tony Hawk lets you string together hundreds of moves to make wicked combos. Street Skater seems to have about three moves per character. TH requires real skill to be land tricks, SS lets you land flat on your face and still pull off a trick. TH's control configurations are more intuitive -- maybe it's because I learned them first, but it seems like SS is harder to control. Street Skater's levels are massive, like TH's, but since each level is timed and has a linear progression you have to make from start to finish, it's not easy to explore.

The only plus on SS' side is that it has a skate park editor, which is fun to play around with. But I found myself wishing I could create a park and skate it with Tony instead of SS four characters, and TH2 is coming soon and features a better editor.

Like I said, SS is a temporary fix. You'll only go through its three levels so many times before you'll crave more levels, more space, more goals, more characters, and better play control, and you'll find yourself getting Tony Hawk for whatever price you can.

3.0 out of 5 stars good game for the most part, June 22, 2000

This review is from: Street Sk8er 2 (Video Game)

this game graphically and in many other ways is better than Street Sk8er, the levels are mcuh better and you have to work at the moves instead of pressing "X". however, whoever made this game must be a poser cos what once had good punk music now has lame metal music. not something that you'd want to skate to. how many other skating games do you play that skate to Static-X and Deftones? especially when the first one had all punk bands. the music was what Street Sk8er had going for it the most. also, the announcer on this game is 10 times more annoying than the first one. so, aside from all that, it is a good game but there are much better games out there for us skate punks such as grind session, tony hawk, and some others that i have yet to check out.
