Tony Hawk 2 is now available for the Nintendo 64 comsole system. Take a long hard look at it. For it is one of the last N64 titles. And why not go out on top.
Tony Hawk is still the best in thew business. You probably played the original, and who didn't? Neversoft and Activision have topped themselves with Tony Hawk 2.
It has improved graphics and physics. Neversoft has added even more realism to an already powerful game. The polygon skaters are smoother and sharper then before, thanks in part to the 4MB expansion pack.
Tony Hawk 2 features new rock'n tunes to skate to, however the N64 leaves only few, and the sound quality makes it hard to enjoy.
There are of course returning and new skate boarders to play as, we'll continue to always play as Mr. Hawk himself.
Tony Hawk 2 features a brand new create a park mode. Don't like the skate parks provided? Make your own! You can now.
The Control is just as easy to use as the original. There have been a lot of skate boarding games hit the market since Tony Hawk made its debut two years ago. However, none of them ever made it onto the N64, so there is no point in making any comparisons.
The N64 version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the same as the PSone version with bad sound and weaker graphics, as it should be. I know, that was unfair, but the N64 is dead so who cares.
No matter what system you own, if you like skate boarding or extreme sports at all, Tony Hawk is a must have.
Activision was right to release its masterpiece on the N64. I know, as well as they do, that there are still a lot of gamers out there who only have an N64 and will buy this game. They do not care if Nintendo has abandoned the system for better technology. They still want good games, and Tony Hawk is a great game.
If you only have a Nintendo 64, you HAVE to get this game. This is an instant classic. Even if you've already played it on your friends psx, or Dreamcast, or PC. If you have any kind of respectable N64 library at all. Tony Hawk 2 must be included.
The Tony Hawk Revolution lives on. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a nice way to close out the N64. Madden NFL 2002 will most likely be the last game for the system. In a market full of cancelled N64 games, its nice to see two games actually get released. I will say my final goodbye's in my Madden NFL 2002 review.
