ChromeKiller's Full Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for PlayStation 1
Tony Hawk's back for another set of grinds, Ollie's, and sick scores that the first game couldn't compare to in this new addition of a skating game making it's way into video game history!
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (THPS2) is a skating where you can choose one of many famous skaters, and use them at your disposal for scoring points in order to gain levels. Or, you can now even CREATE A SKATER of your very own! There are many different options to choose from. Such as, different clothes, or different hair styles.
The air in the game is sick as hell. When I first popped this thing in, and saw that I could go higher than the empire state building, I knew this was going to be one cool game. One of the best things about the game are the new interactive playgrounds you get to skate in. Such as New York City, where cab drivers are all over the place. If you're not careful, you'll be hit easily, and get a nasty remark each time. There's also in one of my favorite levels, the Hangar, a chopper that'll take off if you grind the propeller.
Play as Tony Hawk, Elissa Steamer, Kareem Campbell, Andrew Reynolds, Bob Bourquist, and many other pro skaters that have been officially selected as the top choice pro skaters of the USA. You can choose to skate until you save up enough money to buy even new stats for the various skaters to choose from. There's higher jumps, better grinding, or even you can even go faster with the new states to create.
There are new features in THPS2 like create a skater, create your own skate park, and even "horse," the basketball hoop game that everyone SHOULD know about. These various single player and multiplayer features will allow players to go for hours of entertainment without even a trip to the bathroom.
The soundtrack has also changed, and for the better. This time around, there's some music you might actually like to listen to instead of no name punk bands. These select tracks are from groups like Naughty by Nature, Rage Against the Machine, and one of my favorites, Pappa Roach!
Tony Hawk 2 is for anyone, and everyone who likes to skate. Or, just chill, and see what kind of stupid stunts you can pull off in 2 minutes. It's an addiction worth the buck!
