Absolutely fantastic. Easily the best level designs in any Tony Hawk game to date. Clearly must be considering they constantly reused them in Tony Hawk games preceding this. Also has the 2nd best soundtrack in any Tony Hawk game and is just super solid all around.

i like music cos of this game

The first game but more together in general and even more solid. The music got even better with this one. Also with the introduction of manuals finding a specific line means less in general. A very fun 2 hours.

9/10

I'm probably overrating this, but the Tony Hawk series felt like it came out at the perfect time for me to enjoy it and THPS 2 certainly felt like the best of the series. It made me want to skate in real life (and I did! for a while!) and when I didn't skate I could just virtually skate for hours on end with no real goal in mind. Excellent levels, the manual unlocked the perfect gameplay, and the best soundtrack of the bunch- "May 16th" might be my top THPS song.

I nearly failed school in grade 6 because of this game. What more can I say.


Com uma trilha sonora maravilhosa pra embalar o gameplay, ainda assim não me apeguei a esse jogo.

Definitivamente não é meu estilo de jogo.

I didn't know what I was doing in this game I was just kinda pressin' buttons.

Don't really remember it, I'm sure it was fine

Jamás pensé que uno de los mejores juegos que jugaría en mi vida sería uno de hacer skate protagonizado por un hombre llamado Antonio Halcón.

Manuals allow your combos to go on longer and there are even better maps than 1 like School. It's getting there.

when i was a kid i thought the ratm song went LIGHTS OUT! GORILLA RADIO!

I can't play these any more because I have RSI

Not the best... but my favortie.

the first level was cool. never beat it so i can't say anything about the other ones.

kid me enjoyed slamming tony hawk's dumb face into the pavement then actually skating

An utter masterpiece and would still be in my Top 5 games of all time if Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 hadn't released as a perfect game that eclipsed even the original version.

Damn near perfect skating game. Tremendous follow up to the first game.

esse jogo me ajudou a superar o fato de que eu era um skatista medíocre mas tudo bem porque no videogame eu era muito foda

This was fun as hell and I'm so happy they remastered it for the modern era.

A good skateboarding game.

Pros: Skater 2... hehe. This game is wicked. After the first Tony Hawk Pro Skater, this sequel must have been the fully realized version that the devs wanted all along, as they went all out, bigger better. More customization options, more characters, more modes, a great level editor, more stages and cool gimmicks in them to grind on or do tricks off of, they're all designed so well! Like little playgrounds you can spend hours and hours in, trying to keep a combo chain going pulling off tricks, as if you're on one continuous ride. Tony Hawk Pro Skater gameplay is addicting, it's the best of the best. Just enough real world inspiration and basis, but then it knows, like NBA Jam before it, how to extrapolate for the world of video games, and get a little nuts, go a little crazy, get silly. And the craziest thing of all that I remember loving to bits in this game, was unlocking Spider-Man as a playable character, who had their own web based skater tricks they could perform. Man, that shit was cool. Hell, this game was even awesome on the Game Boy Advance! Still had 3D characters even, just a fixed isometric viewpoint, in a way, I kinda prefer that version just for how impressive it was for a launch GBA game! The music is also great, well, if you're playing on anything but the Nintendo versions, heh, but y'know, I'm a fan of instrumentals myself, so I like them either which way you cut it!

Cons: The FMV and music is lacking on N64, even with just instrumentals, the song list was shrunk down to only 6... dang. But they did make up for it with an extra stage. And gameplay is great, it's king.

What it means to me: I remember mostly playing this game on the Dreamcast of all places, creating courses, swingin' and skating as Spider-Man, it was the version to play. Well, next to the GBA version, which I probably most definitely played the most of, considering it was on the go.
