If you have something you need to get done right now, a paper, a report, just hold off on buying this game until you're finished because other tasks don't stand a chance when playing THPS2 is an option.

It's so good it should come with a warning label -- or at least some methadone.

The levels are bigger, the trick catalog is more plentiful, the number of goals per level has been doubled, and the already stunning gameplay has been honed even further.

Everything in Tony Hawk 2 is bigger, badder and most of all, better.

If I ever wind up stuck on a desert island with nothing but a PlayStation and a few select games, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is one game I will definitely own.

Maybe the level design of the original wasn't so special to you but for us it's a step down.

An excellent skating game. I have enjoyed this game for many, many years.

LividFiction gave it a9:
While THPS was an oustanding game, THPS2 guaranteed the series' ongoing success. With new tricks and two new modes—Create-a-Skater and Create-a-Park—THPS2 is skateboarding realized in a way that wasn't fully recaptured until THPS4.

[Anonymous] gave it a10:
