What more can be said about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater? It is an iconic game that features an incredible punk rock soundtrack and addicting gameplay. Tons of courses and different skaters to choose from. Lots of secrets to unlock and tricks to master. This game is heavy on the nostalgia factor and brings back memories of the late 90's / early 2000's skater culture.

Wow! If you've played the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, no doubt you were amazed. Well this one improves on the original ten-fold. First of all, there are three new characters, including two of the godfathers of skate; Rodney Mullen and Steve Caballero (who's base stats are amazing to start with!). Also present is Eric Koston, who was voted best all-around skater around the time of this game's release. Secondly, you now have the ability to create your own skateparks! There are a good number of pieces to choose from and the way things can be linked together is very nice. There are also a ton of pre-made parks in the editor that will give you ideas. Many of these are excellent in their own right and they can also be manipulated. Thirdly, there are a TON of new tricks. All of the ones from the previous game are here, but each player can have two sets of tricks, which can be accessed by double-tapping the grab and flip buttons. This adds an incredible amount of versatility to runs and can help you to have more original lines, which is really important in contest events. Also, the inclusion of manuals is very cool. This means that instead of just normally approaching an object to trick off of, you can manual to it and this gives you constant points. Imagine some of the combos that could be achieved! It takes some getting used to, especially since it means you move more slowly and you have to manually keep your boarder's balance (no pun intended). Fourthly, the new parks are very cool. Marseilles is the one that was included in the demo for the game, so many of you know how cool that park is already. Venice beach is nice, too. It has a lot of vert areas and even some vagrants to ollie over, I kid you not! People might miss some of the original parks, but with the park editor, you might be able to make a reasonable facsimile. Fifthly, there is a create-a-skater mode. While it doesn't add too much to the game, it is still nice to see a skater with your name. On top of all these factors, they've changed the level objectives quite a bit. Now instead of collecting tapes to progress, you must complete certain objectives for money. The money you earn can be used towards buying new boards, buying new tricks (including grabs, flips and specials) and boosting your created-player's stats. Also, as usual, the music in the game is fresh and should appeal to fans of several different styles. The multiplayer modes are standard, but just as awesome as before. Well, I could say more, but what is there to say that hasn't already been said? Activision and Neversoft have really outdone themselves and continue to show a great deal of respect for the consumers. This is an incredible game in every aspect and should be in the home of every video game fan on the planet! HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION POSSIBLE!Read full review
I’ve been a fan on Tony Hawk games since 2006 when I played Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 on the PlayStation 2. After that I got a Dreamcast and I didn’t know there was a version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on Dreamcast until years later. Then I decided to buy Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and it is a blast on the Dreamcast! The levels in this game are great, the soundtrack is awesome, the graphics (for 2000 standards) are pretty good, and the game has a lot of content which makes it replayable.

Great game! The Level designer is a blast and incredibly easy to use! Create-a-Skater is another fantastic feature! Customize your own skater to your own fitting and actually use him in a career! AWESOME MUSIC TOO! And the default maps played in career mode are INSANE. I've never seen level design that good before, or since, in this genre of games. The Dreamcast bumps of the graphics considerably from the Playstation, and the game just looks and feels fantastic. Controls are a dream, levels scream detail, and the game is absolutely addictive.
The game works very well. Plays as if it's brand new. Thanks!
