All-Around Amazing |
| A gamer from Illinois says (4/Jan/2001): |
Every single aspect is amazing. I played THPS1 from when it came out until I got THPS2. The only thing lacking in THSP2 compared to 1, is the level design. The levels are great, but dont have the same charm as 1, with linking things together without manuals. In many areas, it seemed the levels were not finished because there was just open space for no reason. Everything else in THPS2 makes up for that though. I thought the only problem with 1 was the same music played over and over agian, but 2 was fixed by putting all kinds of music that play in order. Adding manuals was great because it lets you go around a whole level just continuing 1 trick, which is COOL. Creat-a-skater is cool, but doesn't add much, but being able to create a skate park adds soo much more life to the game. Sound and graphics are great and improved from the first. This is the only game that has given me blisters from playing it so much. Great game for anyone.

Incredible Game! |
| All Greased Up from Newcastle AUSTRALIA says (9/Jan/2001): |
Well then. What a game. As being old enough to remember Skate or Die on the IBM back in the 80s with it's blistering downhill runs ... hasn't technology come a long way? What I like best about this is the ability to throw in stuff like a jet pack or skate in low gravity or alternatively just cruise as per real skating. Good if you skate .. or skated at some point. The option of playing as 80s Tony really brought back memories of everyone trying to grow long blonde fringed hair to be just like Tony. Hey why not an early 90s long haired ponytail Tony as well? The amount of 'hip hop' in the soundtrack to this game is utterly disgusting. The challenges you are required to undertake can be frustrating while remaining addictive because you just HAVE to collect that last icon of $$$ way way up top that's seemingly out of reach. Same format as before, you undertake challenges to result in redemption of money for increased stats and tricks plus after all 'gaps' are completed you aquire a hidden character that skates in a bikini .., surely to please some adolescent boys out there. The thing is but.. after you've done all the challenges and 'completed' the game there's plenty of fun to be had just crusing the well designed and realistic levels. The realism of this game grabs me actually the most. Of course good graphics and control, etc. but what else could you expect from Neversoft?
WAY TO GO!!!!

The Best Game I have Ever Played |
| Dominic from UK says (17/Jan/2001): |
THPS2 is simply the best game out there.
Great soundtrack, Relistic SFX
Great controls (easy to use hard to master)
Varied and detailed courses
Interesting secrets,
Thousands of moves,
Good replay value (create skaters and parks)
All in all this game will take over your life.

What a incredible game! |
| Andreas from Örebro, Sweden says (24/Jan/2001): |
The whole game is wonderful, with great graphics and feeling. It's absolutely like a hundred times better than the first game. It's a whole lot of more characters and you can create your own park an character! The game is not to realistic though, it's not usual to fall down from a roof on your neck and just keep skate. Anyway, it's one of the most fun games I've ever played!

it never bores me! |
| Steve from australia says (4/Feb/2001): |
I think its the best skating game ever made. Much better than the first. I never get sick of playing this game. The music is mad and there is at least 10 songs so you dont hear the same one over and over. The graphics are awesome. Overall the best game in my collection.

the greatest game i've played |
| Gary Patterson from warner robins Ga says (16/Feb/2001): |
This game is sweet this is truly a great game! The coolest part of the game is the gaps it'll take you weeks to just get all of a levels gaps. I've played alot of good games but this has got to be the greatest. Yeah,they could improve on load times but who cares!! Bottomline this is a great game.
|
This Game Is The Bomb! |
| B.J Backside from LaCrescent, MN U.S.A. says (22/Feb/2001): |
I gave this game a ten because, you can make a skater, make your own park, and career mode is a challenge. This game has awesome levels and great pro skaters. And you have to buy this game!!YOU HAVE TO!

THE GREATEST SK8BOARDING GAME AS OF YET |
| michael Gehring from fort collins, colorado says (7/Mar/2001): |
Alright, I'll admit. When i heard that tony hawk was coming out with a sequal, i was one of the first people to get it. You remember how the first game sold. I had to wait a while till i could get one. I went out and ordered it this time. And i definitely was not dissapointed. The games graphics were way beyond what i was imagining the sequel to have. The music was way better....(but cut out Papa Roach). The create a park was an excellent addition. Being a skater myself, i used my imagination, and almost everything i wanted to do, i could. though the game does need more choices and less restrictions regarding that. Create a skater was awesome. All in all the game is great. Never get tired of playing it. But hurry up with Tony Hawk 3. here are some suggestions. more players, more choices on the create a park mode. A special section for real life skateparks. Levels could be bigger. also it would be cool to have more options on the skateboard, such as bearing type, truck type. Definitely more levels. Pedestrians would be cool, cops. It would also be cool if you could drive a car to certain spots and then skate it. But hey those are just ideas for Tony Hawk 3. It would be rad if you guys actually use these ideas. thanks for a great game.

The Best Skating Game EVER!!!!! |
| The Extremist from Liverpool, England says (10/Apr/2001): |
I had bought Tony Hawks the first time it came out and found out how frustrating it can be. Then they brought out the sequel. I decided not to buy it. Then all my friends who had it were saying how great it was. I decided to buy it. I realised how stupid I was not to buy it when it first came out. This game is Da Bomb. Excellent graphics, great gameplay, amazing moves. Now I can skate in my own park with my own skater aswell! If you haven't got this game then you are an idiot. BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PHATEST SEQUEL TO THE PHATEST PLAYSTAYTION GAME |
| Emil Serrano, Jr. from Bridgeport, Conneticut says (25/May/2001): |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the phatest game you could possibly buy. The controls are a little hard to get used to but once you get the hang of it you'll love it. It has everything a skating fan would want. Park editor, you can make your own skater and the variety of triks is wild. One minor setback in the game is that there are not enought levels but if you really want to enjoy the game first beat it without codes the fun will last! One thing to remember is that if you want a good game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the one!

Most addictive, entertaining game ever!!! |
| Evan from Calgary, Alta, Canada says (28/May/2001): |
It's games like these that give companies like N 64, Play Station, and PS2 something that you need to buy. The game surpasses the first one in many ways. More moves, more characters, better designs, better features on the characters. There was something that has been distracting me for a while though. When you create a skater, it's fun to use him a lot, and you use him as your main character. It kind've takes away the enjoyment of the other characters. Same with the parks, you make one, and continuesly play on that one, while the other parks aren't used as much.
Another thing that bugs me on it is the amount of goals there are in the level, in the first one there was only 5 fairly difficult ones, in this there's 10, and it's difficult to get only 4 in some of the more difficult ones. Philadelphia is probably the worst level they made too, it's pure grinding accept for a hidden area. I had to use cheats to get some of them.
All in all though, even with those defaults, the game is a must need game to buy. The two player makes you wanna have a friend over finally, the new levels, and variety of moves are amazing, and the new characters are awesome!
This is most diffinetly one of or not if the best games ever!

Very Awesome |
| Zack from Tucson, Az USA says (26/Dec/2002): |
Sweet game! The goods: Killer soundtrack, cool real-life skaters, awesome parks, absolutly gnarly tricks, THPS 2 introduced the "Manual" trick so you can combine tricks for more points, better than average frame-rate, better options than THPS, hidden parks. The bads: Camera need a little bit of work, controls sometimes a little buggy. Like skating games without the funky twist like "Street sk8ter"? Buy THPS 2!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Is The Best! |
| Eduardo Novoa from Monterrey, Mexico says (17/Oct/2004): |
Songs, controlling, etc. it's unvelievable that activision made this game! The best part of the game is when you unlock the skate heaven. Chopper Drop, hawaii sucks all the way, but it's funny to drop to the sharks!. Well, other cool part of the game is completing all the gaps, man! how i got disgusted trying to get some of the hardy ones! bu they're all clear by now. It would be nice that the programmers had the idea of changing the grinding trick while you are grinding as you can do in THPS 4, and also the same stuff with the liptricks. It's cool to play out with officer Dick and private carrera. Little Person in THPS 4 is really stupid, though. Looks like i'm comparing THPS 2 and 4. the 3rd. is kinda silly, but both of them are the ones i like. Please email me.

TONY WHO |
| MuNkY from England says (22/May/2003): |
I played the first tony hawks that came out and that was the first time i had herd of tony. NONE of my mates skate so thay had not herd of him ither. Then this game came out and everyone whent tony mad. Now half of my city skate because of this game. Its the best one for playstation out of the 1 & 2 & 3. This game has some realy cool moves and the cheats are amazing. Dont soil the game by using them until you have completed the game. everytime you complete it with a differnt person you ern a new cheat. The levels are a lot bigger than the first and you can create your own. I have a gamecube and tony hawks 4 but if it wasnt for the sales this game made tony hawks 4 probably wouldnt be out there.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 |
| Pat from Wisconsin, USA says (2/Aug/2000): |
There are lots of cool things about it, like create a park, create a skater, 13 skaters are in it (everyone from the first, and then Rodney Mullen, Eric Koston and Steve Cab. were added.) In create a park you can make your own BTT's (Gap names). This is not that much info but for the whole story go to my THPS 1 and 2 site that has codes, gs codes, a strategy guide, gap names from the games, a FAQ, and game reviews and more. Its at http://skateordie13.tripod.com/tony_hawks_pro_skater_2/

Amazingly, it surpasses the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater |
| Jesse Yeakle from West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA says (25/Sep/2000): |
If you compare THPS with THPS2, you will find that this sequel is a worthy competitor. It comes with features such as create a skater, create your own park, several two player games, and level so big you can get lost. The career mode in THPS2 is very different than that of it's parent. Instead of having five challenges per level, and recieving tapes to increase your stats, you make money by completing many more challenges per level. Each completed challenge gives you different amounts of money, which you can use to buy better boards, better tricks, or raise your stats. There are several drawbacks to sequel of last years best sports game. One annoyance that I found was the fact that the skaters seem much slower in the beginning of their career. Also, levels are very hard to complete being that they have 10 challenges and by the fourth level the high score challenge is up to 200,000 points. Ridiculous! The musical score to this games include Rage Against the Machine, Papa Roach, and Powerman 5000. Much better than the last score. In conclusion, I give this game a 10 out of 10 simply because I can not stop playing, and it makes the first THPS seem like childs play. You will definitely get your money's worth on this game!

A review from the BRD MAN! |
| BiG bAd BrD maN from Toronto, Ontario, Canada says (28/Sep/2000): |
When one of my friends purchased Tony2 last week he stated "Oh s$!t, the Tony2 tumor is going to be way bigger than the first" Now after a week of some serious "grind sessions" I must forewarn you that he was absolutely right! This game is the real deal. I had played the demo and was so stoked by the little taste they gave us, but let me tell you that that little taste, as great as it was, was not even an acurate sample of how awesome this game is. The possibilities to rack up in this game are endless, with the new addition of the mannual. We were racking up 200 000 point trick's with in a few hours. It took signifigantly longer to achieve this feat in the first one but once we did our high scores rose into the 600 000's and beyond. I look forward to see how "high" we can get with this latest gem of video gaming excellance.
In closing, think of all that time you spent on Tony as putting in your dues in the "minors". Now guess what, you're being called up to the "Big Leauges". Tony'2 is the real deal folks.
Guess who's next up to bat.........
ARE YOU READY!!
