    Great game at the time, but THPS3 and THAW improved so much on the formula that it's hard to come back to a time before Reverts. Playing this game now is like going back to Pop-Tarts after you've had a Toaster Strudel.

    Несмотря на сумасшедшее управление - это один из лучших симуляторов скейтбординга, в который мне когда либо приходилось играть. Советую попробовать!

    I personally think this game is overrated. Its not a bad game by any means, but there are so many better tony hawk games out there. since i was a baby when this game was released, i don't have the fond memory's that others may have. I can at least see the appeal of this game. but i don't feel the same way me it just feels very clunky and outdated. which is the exact opposite aI personally think this game is overrated.

    Very entertaining the first time I played it. Definitely the best Tony Hawk game. 10/10 for a skating game, but it just doesn't compare to some other titles on the Playstation. I think a 7 is a fair rating.

    i think that this game is overrated. The physics and the mechanics aren't very good and the game play is very repetitive. This game is junt in second place because it has only 19 reviews. If this game have had more reviews it would have had a 75 and not a 98.

    This is a game I hold close to my heart. But this game does not distinguish itself as the mega game of many systems. This game bores the player after once or twice through the game.

    Oh dear! The Tony Hawk franchise has lasted well, and rightly so, for the concept on which it is based bears enough amusement for it to hold its own. But "BEST GAME EVER"? Hardly. It is deeply surprising, and yes, indeed, even disturbing, that it has been given such a title by several individuals. Do not misunderstand: THPS2 was once a great game to have, but it has NEVER COME CLOSE to Oh dear!

    Highly overrated game. It's a good game but the first Tony Hawk game will always be the one that did it for me.

    Графически: типичная графика с пс1, сохранилась плохо. Саундтрек прикольный.
    Но вот управление, сгорел уже на 2-ой трассе, пытаясь кататься по стенам, что бы сбивать звонки.
    Ну а вообще довольно любопытно было попробовать, что из себя представляет TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER 2.    Графически: типичная графика с пс1, сохранилась плохо. Саундтрек прикольный.

    Parece como si existiera un consenso que estableciera que la segunda parte es la mejor cuando hablamos de THPS. Quizás sea el más icónico. Quizás sea la rotura gráfica 20 años después, que soy manco y no me hago con él. Este juego me genera un amor-odio polarizado que se resume en: si sale bien la combinación de combos y gano 20000 puntos es una maravilla.

Este juego me genera un amor-odio polarizado que se resume en: si sale bien la combinación de combos y gano 20000 puntos es una maravilla. Pero como el combo se rompa y esos 20000 puntos se esfumen, la frustración desalentadora que genera hace que lo odies a muerte.

    El caso es que aun no habiendo jugando la saga como para tener una opinión formada, creo que se vanagloria demasiado a este juego, que no me parece malo en absoluto, pero no entiendo el porque de que este tan glorificado. Quizás sea un juego situado en un contexto temporal, en otra generación, y es que no me parece tan bueno como lo pintan.    … Expand

    The best skateboarding game ever and one of the greatest PlayStation games of all time.

    With its customizability, near-perfect gameplay and copious amounts of fun, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is the real deal -- a great sequel and a stellar game.
