There are so many modes, multi-player games and features that could easily have you seeing less and less daylight as time goes on.

While it may not be the most graphically impressive version of the game, it is faithful to the series and manages to be the best skateboarding game for the N64.

As complete a package as anything Nintendo or Rare has released and it deserves the respect that those titles garner.

If you own a PlayStation, Dreamcast, GameCube, PS2 or Xbox, I can't in good conscience recommend this as a purchase, but THPS 2 is definitely recommended for those of you who only own an N64.

If you can handle the C Button syndrome while mid-air, you'll be winning championships like you were the Hawk himself.

It’s amazing that the now two-year-old engine is still kicking butt…Only if you don’t own a DC or a PS should you buy this. [Sept 2001, p.147]

The fact is, THPS2 is still the best skateboarding game on the market. And the N64 version comes with the same addiction factor.

Nevermind the graphics. Forget the sound. The reason that so many people worship the Hawk series is because it is a fun game.

If you compare it feature-by-feature to the other versions, you may come to two conclusions – it’s not as good, but it’s still as cool (and fun) to play.

Despite its now trademark addictive gameplay, THPS2 just doesn’t cut it anymore—on an aged system Tony just looks and sounds awful, and there aren’t any new features to redeem it.

Hard to find things... That makes no sense... Anyway, this game is great. (But the sound is annoying)
Bob gave it an 8:
Damn awesome, but once you play pro skater 3 or 4, this is not too great. you people who cant find stuff are so stupid. Just because it wasnt made for 2-year olds like pro skater 1 doesn't mean it sucks.
B. S. gave it a 10:
