    But for sheer fun, there are a few games that can compete with Tony Hawk 2's excellent mix of tricks, bails and hidden swag.
  2. 100
    With a ton of tricks, parks, and game modes, and the included park editor, THPS2 provides a great gaming experience with tons of replay value.
  3. Near perfect. Only small flaws and nuisances take away from the game. The high flying no holds barred action is more than enough to make up for any problems the game might have.
  4. Music and sound effects are great.
  5. 89
    As a PC port however, it's somewhat disturbing that these issues weren't resolved. It all comes down to the apparent laziness in fixing the shortcomings of the PSX version.
  6. A much bigger oversight is the removal of the PlayStation’s split-screen multiplay in favor of a LAN-based multiplayer mode.
  7. There are intermittent slow-downs and brief stoppages during play, particularly during aerial acrobatics. The game seems to prefer Voodoo cards over the NVIDIA line, so you may have better luck if your machine is equipped with Voodoo magic.

    "Here I am, doing everything I can, pretending I'm a Superman"... Wow, I was not aware of any skater's name in the world when I was 14 and now"Here I am, doing everything I can, pretending I'm a Superman"... Wow, I was not aware of any skater's name in the world when I was 14 and now at 36 I still watch Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, etc.

This the 4th one and the first underground were the best games of the entire series and in my opinion this one was the best, even today. Expand
