Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

"The Ultimate Skateboarding Game"

This game is the Ultimate sports game, I have had it for a month and I still love it. A message to all you skateboarding or non-skateboarding fans is to buy this game as soon as possible. Here is my summary of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2:

GRAPHICS 9/10
Yeah the graphics are good but not the top standard for the Dreamcast, the game runs extremely smooth and the graphics make the game a lot better than the Playstation version. The moves look far better than the original version. The floors and halfpipes are very well detailed.

SOUND 10/10
The soundtrack is the best that I have ever heard on any game. There are about 15 different songs and they are all excellent. The soundtrack features excellent music from Powerman5000.

GAMEPLAY 10/10
The gameplay on THPS2 is also excellent, you can choose from many different characters each with different moves and stats. As you progress you will receive cash from the goals that you pass and you can buy stats, new moves and new skateboards, There are a total of 5 levels with 10 goals each and 3 competitions, then there is all of the characters so to finish the game you will need to complete 50 goals and 3 competitions with each character which will take you a long time. Then there is the gaps to find in each level which takes you another couple of weeks. There is also a create park option which comes with loads of pre-made parks so there is almost an infinite amount of gameplay. You can also create you own skater, man, what will they think of next??? You can pull of crazy combos with manuals which can bring your move score to MILLIONS. Another thing, the loading times are very fast too and the speed of the game has also increased. Well as you can see I think that this is the best game on the planet at the moment but I will be rushing down to electronics boutique to purchase Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 later on in the year and I will be glued to the television for ages and when I say ages I mean AGES!!!

OVERALL 10/10
This game is packed with things to do so I am giving this game the very rare 10/10 which I rarely give to computer games, only the ones that pass as 100 percent excellent.
So GO OUT AND BUY IT!!!
