patdesjardins's Full Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for Game Boy Advance (GBA...
Tony hawk's pro skater 2 is one of the best gba games out now. Graphically it surpasses what any one thought possible on any portable system. I had bought this game about a month ago and i have played it long enough to give a very detailed review.
Graphics: Thps has amazing graphics the menus come straight from the playstation. the characters are polygonal which allows them to move very smoothly and naturally. the backgrounds in the game are very nice as well if you have played the playstation version you will automatically know you're way around.
Sound: because they could not fit a licensed soundtrack into the game they had to make up there own, which is not all that bad because the songs are all very good the menu song even came from the playstation. The grinding and skating sounds are all very realistic, when the skaters fall you can hear them grunt as well. I recommend you wear headphones because it sounds clearer and more detailed in stereo.
Game play: It takes a little getting used to because of the angle and lack of buttons but once you get used to the controls you will be getting 500 000 points easily. The L button is used for flip tricks R for grabs B for ollies A for grinds and the d pad for rotations.
Cons: There are a few things I think they could of added to make the game even better.
1: A multiplayer mode
2: A create a skater mode this is the one i would like to have had the most.
3: though this might be impossible on the gba there is no skatepark creater.
4:they cut out 2 levels from the playstation version and some of the parks don't have the same secret places (not that that's bad)
Thps for the gba is definitely a game to add to your collection. I would definitely recommend it over any other extreme sports game on the gba.
