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.
