Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the sequel to the bestselling and highly acclaimed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. The original title sported easy controls, solid gameplay mechanics, and awesome visuals. These elements remain, as the designers spent their time adding hundreds of new tricks, slightly tweaking the core gameplay, and creating both a character editor and a 3-D skate park editor. Players can create the skate park of their dreams, choosing a theme and locating stairs, ramps, half pipes, pools, and rails. After completing the finishing touches, you can put your park on the Internet for all to admire. Then you can create your own character to skate your custom park. You can personalize the name, age, height, weight, style, stance, trick set, and skateboard of your skater.

Alternately, players can choose a character from a number of professional skaters, including Tony Hawk, Chad Muska, Kareem Campbell, Andrew Reynolds, and Jamie Thomas. Skaters will gain more skills as you progress. There are several skate parks to choose from, including Marseilles, Manhattan, and Skate Street Ventura. In the core game, players perform tricks to gain money and purchase new skating abilities, tricks, or boards. Another mode is free skating, plus there are several multiplayer scenarios, consisting of an eight-person judged competition, HORSE (feel free to choose any letters you'd like), tag, trick attack, and graffiti.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Reveiw, August 22, 2000

Alex Hara (North Bend, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (CD-ROM)

I belive this is a very well made game and should make a lot of money. There are so many maps and tricks to this game that it makes the play length never end. I downloaded the demo and i was playing one map for a total of like 5 hours in about a week and after that i was still finding out new tricks. This game is a must for all the skaters out there and people that just wanna get a good score on a awsome skateboarding game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Computer Version of Tony Hawk 2, December 20, 2000

Let me first say that Tony Hawk 1 and 2 are groundbreaking games. After reading the other reviews, it's apparent that others are in agreement. The best update from the original game is the level editor. You can even upload and download levels from the internet now. The ability to "manual" in between grinds is probably the 2nd most relevant update from Tony Hawk 1. It allows the skater to extend their lines (series of tricks), in almost infinite ways. The computer version also offers several levels from Tony Hawk 1; not the best ones though as School 1 is omitted. In comparison with the PlayStation version, the PC Tony Hawk is far superior. I'd say I get twice the frame rate as on the PS version. Also there is much less fogging of the background. Another note is that the PC version offers me a much higher capacity than the PS version to design levels, which is invaluable when implimenting risers and blue moves. Overall- I highly recommend Tony Hawk 2, especially the PC or Dreamcast versions. Also be sure to have a controller/joystick, which is essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super graphics and great game play!, April 23, 2001

This review is from: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (CD-ROM)

What a game!! It is just sooooooo good. The level are just so life like and the tricks that you can do are really good and fun to be able to master. It takes a bit of getting used to on the keyboard but if you have a joypad then i can imagine that it would be even better. The graphics are just so superior and great compared to any console. So if you are going to have to choose between the pc version or one on a console then you should go for this. It even loads quicker then them. It is so advanced to the previous in that you can create your own skate park which is a bit of fun but can be hard to do so but who needs to do that when there are so many pre made parks to try out and edit yourself. You can even creat your own skater which is a very good idea, i havent my self but my friend has created the best one! If you complete some of the game then you will get a few of the levels that were on the first one which are also really great to play on, as i have waited for this to come out on the pc as soon as i player the first on one a playstation and fell in love with it! Once you start to play it, you cannot get off it, its so great and loads of secret places on each level to find out and a huge variety of tricks that you can do and then are all easy to master once you get the hang of them. The good thing is that even if you don't want to have a career then you can just have a free skate and go on any level that you have opened and all the pre made ones. I have had this since christmas and you usualy grow out of something when you have had it for a long time but i can't get off it, because i just want to get to the next level and open up the next level and find out many more tricks and stuff. I don't believe that i will say this but you are just like a real skater as you buy your own bored, new tricks and better stats which is really fun, as the more tricks and stats that you have the better you will skate and more things that you can do. I don't want to be classed as a "skater" but this is really good and like that! If you have played or have the first one then you will not be disappointed with this brilliant follow up.
