Full descriptionOnly six months after the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater found its way to the Dreamcast the sequel is released. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 features the same style of gameplay and controls as the original with more modes of play, moves, skaters, and locations. Just as in the original many of the locations must be unlocked by meeting requirements at each area as you go along. Money can be earned as well that can be used to purchase new tricks and equipment. Multi-player modes of play include Trick Attack, Horse, Graffiti, and Tag. Tag mode is new to the sequel and works similar to the actual game of Tag. Players perform tricks to weaken their opponent and then tag them to make them "it." When the timer expires the player who is "it" loses.
More moves. More riders. More of what you crave. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 coming soon!

Editorial reviewSource:
AmazonThe original
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was so close to perfection that the idea of dramatic improvements in the sequel seemed pretty far-fetched, but
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 offers so much more that it almost puts its predecessor to shame. The graphics are vastly improved, there are tons of new tricks to pull off, and the game has more secrets than the CIA. Even if you played the original to death, there's enough new stuff here to keep you occupied for months to come.
Pro Skater 2 is all about customization. You can still play as one of the real-world skaters represented in the game, such as Steve Caballero, Elissa Steamer, and Mr. Hawk himself, but the real fun comes from creating your own skater and rising up through the ranks. As you conquer the massive skate parks included in this release, you rack up cash to be spent on pumping up your stats or adding new tricks to your repertoire. You can specialize in verts, concentrate on your street skills, or take a more balanced approach, and the addition of manuals will let you string together tricks from either category to rack up some amazing scores. The custom options extend to a complete skate-park editor that is easy enough to use that we were creating basic arenas in less than 15 minutes. It's a thoughtful addition to one of the most purely entertaining games ever released. --T. Byrl Baker
