Not even the second best Tony Hawk, let alone the second best video game ever, yet that's what Metacritic might still have one believe after all these years. Because of the clear, virtually inarguable improvements made in future installments, this game perhaps more than any other in the top games of all time on Metacritic reveals something. Many of the games on that list are from the late 1990's, and they are there not because they're truly great games (even though in many cases they are also that), they are there because they are some of the first popular video games to have realistically proportioned human figures in addition to accessible gameplay.
