THPS is one of my favorite series of all-time, and while 2 felt great when it released, in retrospect they were still ironing out some of the kinks. This doesn't feel nearly as good to play as the PS2 games or the remaster.
My first Tony Hawks game and to this day one of my favorite games in the series, which I still pick up from time to time. I have to admit that as a nerdy young boy, I had very little contact with the skater scene. Like for so many fellow gamer kids from that era, the skater subculture was just a bit too cool for me back then. So it was all the more surprising to me how much I enjoyed not only the game itself, but also the whole skater vibe around it. I had an incredibly good time playing Tony Hawks. I have to emphasize that I played exclusively with a mouse and keyboard back then...how I managed to achieve anything in that game without a gamepad is beyond me today.
Overall, I'd just like to say that Tony Hawks 2 will always have a special place in my heart. Yes, there were later installments in the series that I enjoyed more, but this is where my love for these games began.

What a step up. I know, I'm playing the enhanced Xbox version but still, the difference between THPS 1 and 2 is night and day. The overall presentation is vastly improved, including the soundtrack. The controls have already been perfected and the level design is fantastic.
YIPPEEEEEE
Millionth replay. Had time to kill before a gig in Bristol so ducked into NQ64 game bar and finished this. Love that place.
good game
This was so fun bro this like my fav time pass game omggggggggg I wish I got to play Pro Skater 3 but my disc corrupted
MAN I WISH THEY DIDNT MESS THIS SERIES UP
Review covers THPS1+2 on PS5 I never thought I'd be a fan of skating games till I played this recently. I played THP2 on PS1 as a kid and had a little fun with it but in the end I didn't understand what to really do besides jump off ramps and grind rails.
Coming back to this game made me realise how this THPS can be so fun (and why it is so critically acclaimed). It's so addictive to string as many combos together as you can to get a high score. Great fun game that I will always come back to every now and then.

This game was when Tony Hawk became the mega franchise what it once was. This game includes fun new additions to the game, like the character creator, create-a-park and new skate moves to extend your combo. This game also has one of the best soundtracks of any game ever. The game has dated quite a bit though. Still a great game which deserves it praise
THPS 2 is a masterpiece and the ultimate sequel, setting out what it's predecessor did and perfecting it, as all sequels should. Returning and newer decks/avatars, arranging from pro skaters to Spider-Man, new settings that standout, even if some are tedious, but at least remain memorable, and the new Career Campaign is a great progression that is better than the last game. The new soundtrack is just as incredible as the last game, with even more tracks added, and the game takes a more over-the-top goofy approach than the last title's realistic nature, which is fresh, fun, and works, going into it's wacky sound design. The gameplay now works better for the accurately responsive controls, alongside the new mechanics of manuals, dynamic animations, and even better balanced difficulty, leaving Pro Skater 2 as an all-time great.
The Dark Souls of Tony Hawk games. Not because it's the hardest but because the second half is genuinely embarrassing compared to the first.
In a world where THPS3 didn't exist, this would probably be the best one
LIGHTS OUT! GUERRILLA RADIO! Trilha Sonora, tenho nem palavras. Mesmo sem algumas coisas que foram adicionadas nas continuações, esse jogo ainda é bem divertido e tem uma coisa ou outra melhor que o remake, bem pouco mas tem.
You quite literally cannot go wrong with this game.
why is this so high on metacritic's best games list
Una locura de juego que recuerdo perfectamente de jugar con mi hermano mayor cuando era pequeño, simplemente no entendía nada, pero era un vicio
Iconic, gameplay perfected, genre-defining.
0After playing the crap out of Skate 3, this one is hard to come back to. Trust me, I do wanna play through the whole game at some point, but I'm simply just not good at the game. (Also I have this on N64 which strangely enough isn't an option on here.)
I can't play these any more because I have RSI
Honestly, my least favorite out of the 4 PS1 games. As a kid I just wasn't a fan of the levels or overall feel.
If you had to encapsulate every part of the culture of the skate generation and put it in a game it'd be Tony Hawks 2. I don't think anything comes close to it. The sequels tried but they felt tired, the clones copied the best of it but they never reached the same levels of sheer playability and coolness.
One of those games that does everything better than the 1st. The gameplay feels better, the levels all hit as hard as the music, and the addition of the manual turned it from a cool skating game to an addictive combo machine. No matter what platform, this game is absolutely foundational and truly proves why it's one of the best ranked games of all time.
6 years old me couldn't believed that a game could be this good. I still don't believe it
probably the best skateboarding game for anyone.
this game is beyond fun
thps 2 es un antes y después en los juegos deportivos
Я поражён тем, как околоспортивную игру сделали люто комплексной и скиллозависимой. Глубина механик и потенциал для совершенствования запределен. Хоть франшиза и является нишевой, поиграть в Про Скейтер должен каждый. Это гениальные игры.
Played a demo of this on PC from download.com in like 2002 or whatever. I kept eating shit
