Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the sequel to the 1999 skateboarding game that revolutionized the sports genre. Adding a host of new features like park/character creators and manuals, THPS2 helped cement the franchise as a household name in videogames.
Overview
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a skateboarding game that was originally developed by Neversoft and published by Activision on September 20th, 2000. Running off of the incredible sales and reception of the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, THPS2 added a large amount of additions to the game's successful and addictive formula, almost all of them being major additions that have stayed with the series time after time. These additions include the Manual, a move that can link street moves (flip tricks, ollies, grinds, etc.) for higher score possibilities, a skatepark creator and a create-a-skater mode that allows the player to play through the game's various modes as their own custom skateboarder. Other improvements like larger levels, a wider variety of tricks, sub-objectives within levels and a significantly larger amount of unlockables also helped the game be a hit with the hardcore fans of the series.
THPS2 still has the same basic concept of the first game when it comes to it's career mode. Players progress from level to level in a linear fashion, completing goals in each stage to unlock the subsequent level. There is a slightly greater focus on sub-objectives this time around with cash, the game's method of progressing through the career mode, being scattered across each level. There is also a stronger focus on level-specific objectives as goals will ask players to cross gaps, destroy objects or perform some other various objective within each level as opposed to the first game's template-like goal list. Objectives like Collect S-K-A-T-E, high scores and Secret Tapes remain, however. Many of THPS1's secondary game modes return, such as Single Session, Free Skate and a 2-player Multiplayer mode. The 2-Player mode also features additional game modes.
The game was received incredibly well by critics with a 98% metacritic rating and was a commercial success, holding the nº 1 at the top of sales charts upon it's release for countless weeks. The game was later ported to other platforms, such as the GBA, PC and Mac. Early into the release of the original Xbox console, a port was made of THPS2 and was re-named Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x, updating the game's graphics to the then-advanced graphics power of the Xbox and included 5 exclusive levels. The Nintendo 64 port of the game, released within the same time as the original PlayStation game, was a technically better looking game as it had more anti-aliasing, though it contained a shorter soundtrack list (removing some of the vulgar songs) to obtain an ESRB rating of "Everyone". The Game Boy Advance port played from an isometric view and was composed of 2D graphics, though it played similarly to the original version and featured a close-to-identical list of goals from the PS1 game's Career Mode.
Gameplay Enhancements
While THPS2 did not introduce any new gameplay modes, it added a series of new features that turned into meaningful additions to the franchise. These start with the Create-A-Modes.
Create-a-Skater
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 added the ability to create your own skater, allowing you to play through the Career Mode (as well as the game's other various modes) as an avatar of yourself or a custom edited character. The mode allowed a then-large amount of options for your character's appearance and allowed the user to distribute stat points wherever they pleased as opposed to THPS1's forced stat growth.
The ability to assign custom tricks was also given, allowing the player to re-write any of the default moves' combinations as well as assigning custom special tricks that could be unlocked and assigned to any specific combination of buttons. Special tricks can either be unlocked throughout the game or by purchasing them with cash acquired in the game's career mode. Flip tricks, grab tricks, grind tricks and a limited amount of manuals (also assigned to the Grind button) compiled the variety of special tricks the player could assign.
Park Editor
Also a new addition was the Park Editor, which allowed players to edit their own custom skateparks with a variety of tools, objects and obstacles. It is grid based and has four distinct themes (Power Plant, Industrial, School, Outside), each changing the appearance of the level and it's objects. The park's size can also be edited according to width and length. The object categories are as follow:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Starts | Spawn points for Player 1, 2 and HORSE start points. |
| Gap Tool | Tool to set gaps. |
| Risers | Elevated platforms varying in size and height. |
| Quarter Pipes | Different set of sizes and heights for quarter pipes. There are two sets: metal QPs and wooden QPs. |
| Rails | Ground-based rails for grinding. There are two sets: centered rails and offset rails. |
| Walls | Low-height walls that can be used as grind surfaces. |
| Slopes | Slanted platforms that act as jumps and/or surfaces to ride up heightened terrain. |
| Stairs | Self-explanatory, they vary in size and stair count. |
| Pools | Large, empty pool surfaces. These vary in shape and size. |
| Funboxes | Heightened platforms generally surrounded by slopes. These can be custom built using risers and slopes, though the selection in this category usually includes funboxes from single-player levels and specially-shaped sets. |
| Kickers | Similar to slopes, though slightly slanted upwards to act as a boosted jump. |
| Benches | Benches, bleachers and other contraptions of the sort. |
| Signs | Street/Publicity signs that can act as grinding/wallride surfaces. |
| Floor | Patters/textures that can be applied to the ground surface, such as the Neversoft logo, grass, dirt and pavement. |
| Foliage | A selection of trees, planters and flowerbeds. |
| Misc | A large wall structure or a steel pillar. |
The Park Editor mode also contained a handful of previously-made parks from the team at Neversoft, giving the user some ideas as to where to start when editing a park.
Probably the most meaningful change to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the addition of the manual, a move that allows player to link tricks together to build up larger combos. Manuals are performed by pressing up and then down on the directional inputs. Pressing down and up will perform a nose manual. During a manual, the player must balance themselves according to the on-screen balance meter. Pressing up and down on the directional inputs will balance the player in the according direction. The longer the manual goes on, the harder keeping balance will become. Spending stat points into the "Manuals" section of the statistics screen will make manuals easier to keep going across further distances. Manuals can be performed after street tricks, such as ollies, flip tricks, grabs or grinds but never after a vert trick. It is possible to link a street combo into a vert trick, however.
A less impactful, although useful during large combo sequences, addition are the added grind tricks to the game's move list. These can be performed by double-tapping in a direction before hitting the Grind button. Example being the Bluntslide, performed by double-tapping down, then hitting the Grind button before hitting a rail. Other grinds include the Overcrook, Crooked and Nosebluntslide grind.
Cash is the new method of progressing through the game's career mode. Completing goals on the Goal List during career mode will earn the user Cash, which unlocks new levels. Cash that is earned can be spent to purchase new decks, stat points or special tricks. Additionally, each level contains a set number of Cash icons to collect, allowing for further stat-building and unlocks. Easier icons are worth less and hidden or hard to find icons are worth significantly more. Stats will cost more after each point purchase and better decks and tricks will cost much more, so finding these cash icons in each level is encouraged for building a better character.

The level is built around a volcano and if the player hops out of the level, an ominous voice (Most likely to symbolize God) either laughs at the player or proclaims "You suck" . In the Game Boy Color version, the volcano is absent, but there are different colored nebulas in the distance instead.
