4.0 out of 5 stars
Go for it....but only if you're part of the gaming minority., November 18, 2001
I only suggest you buy/rent this game if you: A- Are in possesion of an Xbox, and B- If you've never played Tony Hawks 1 & 2 before. I've never played Tony Hawk parts 1 & 2, so this was a great buy for me, however, I only have two complaints so far: Even though it's on Xbox, it still plays really slow when compared to Tony Hawk 3 for the PS2. The other complaint I have, would be the lack of pre-made button configurations(there's only one). So far, other than the two aforementioned flaws, I've been pretty pleased with this game.

A + game!, October 13, 2002
By A Customer
when i bought this game, i was expecting a great game. Well, when i bought it, i was surprised to find that it was a spectacular game! I t takes advantage of the xbox's capabilities.
The graphics are so realistic! if anybody tells you the graphics arent amazing,than they must have been expecting them to look like they had been taken with a video camera! There is endless fun in the game. When you are playing a game, there are 3 things that make the game good or bad.
1: graphics- does the character look like blurry blob of colors? certainly not in this game. they are so realistic. for example, if you fall really badly then you will see blood next to your skater laying on the ground. from 1-10 THPS2x gets a 9.0
2: gameplay- is it hard to learn the controls? does looking at your controller and thinking about the buttons to be pressed suck the fun out of the game? activision continues to do a great job with the controls. it must have been hard to come up with controls for a skateboarding game. Other games, like a hockey game, making the controls is easy- 1 button is pass, one button is shoot, one button is check etc,but in THPS2x they manage to make the controls just as easy. i give the gameplay and 8.5
3:value- will this game be fun for a couple of days and then get boring? will you waste your money on a game that keeps you entertained for a couple of hours? not if you buy this game. i have had this game since april (i think) and whenever i get the chance i pick it up and play it. there are 3 parts to the game: improved levels from THPS2 , the new levels just for this game, and improved levels from THPS. all of the parts are extremely fun and entertaining. THis is how the game works. you start out playing the first level from thps2. when you acheive a certain amount of goals, you go to the next one. once you beat the first group of levels, you go onto the next group. you can do this with one of the 10(?) pro skaters that are available or you can create your own skater. if you beat the game a certain amount of times (i wont give it away) you can unlock many cool cheats like moon physics and unlimited balance and unlock skaters like spiderman and a donut eating police man. and if you get bored with the 24(?) levels (which is highly unlikely) you can build your own skatepark.want to show your friends the cool new game you got? you can play with up to 4 people in 5 awesome multiplayer games. get the point? from 1-10 in value this game gets an 11.
i hope you liked my review and i hope it was helpful!! :)

Tony Hawk gets it again!, October 10, 2001
Whether you have THPS 1 or 2 or both you should still buy it.
Better graphics and control-(pretty amazing)! Also more skaters and levels. If your're thinking of buying an Xbox this is reason enough!
