NathanielS87's Full Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 for PlayStation 1
From the day the first THPS came out, it changed skateboarding game forever. One look at those crazy tricks and tracks and u had to try it out. The aspect of linking tricks into combos gave it enough depth to play for months. Tony Hawk 2 is just as good as the first one, but with a couple of rough spots.
Neversoft has made the objectives in the game way too difficult t the point of frustration. Even the "simple" objectives take hours to preform. I mean, in the 'School II" level, it took me hours to figure out what a Roll Call Rail was, and then I had to grind every single part of it to get credit. Can u say DIFFICULT?
Despite the flaws, Tony Hawk 2 manages to surpass the first game. Even though some levels are less realistic and sometimes overwhelming, they're tons of fun and packed with cool details.
The fact that u can create a skater and skatepark is cool. Even though creating a character is only mildly fun, (considering u can only change the appearance and name) the skatepark feature is awesome. You can have fun for hours creating a brand new park for you and your friends.
Overall, Tony Hawk 2 has everything The first game had, and more. It's frustrating at times, but the sheer fun of the game makes up for that.
The world's best skateboarding game reinvents itself to give you the real life experiences of a hardened amateur skater. A completely new career mode ...More at eBay
