Advantages: The Game

Disadvantages: Not Many

Tony Hawk's 2 is an essential PlayStation title, which is also available on the PC, Dreamcast and GameBoy Advance. It's one of the most addictive games that you will ever play and I can honestly say that it is worth every penny of your hard earned cash. Although the PlayStation version is not as visually good as the Dreamcast and PC versions, it is still an acceptably good looking, and more importantly, playing, game.

You can have two player skating sessions - versus modes in tags, horse, trick attack and graffiti, as well as free skate, but the best mode is the single player championship whereby you must complete lots of tasks - like getting certain scores, grinding in different areas, collecting the "S K A T E" letters, and progressing through the career - you must get a certain amount of $ before unlocking new skate parks.

A superb aspect of Tony Hawk's, that makes this one a lot better than the original is the ability to create characters - give them a name and make them have different features, clothes and face styles! Only downside is you cannot give them a profile.

Another great feature is the create a skate park - brilliant idea, allowing you full creativity in designing your very own skating level. This can prove to be excellent fun and a real challenge too - put trees, ramps and starting points in - add rails and hangtime bonuses too.

A brilliant game, you should buy it whatever console you have. Alternatively you could wait for the PS2 version which will be called Tony Hawk's 3, which looks awesome.
