Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 mgharper94
Do you all remember the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for the Sony PlayStation, do you like it so much that you just wanna have it wherever you go? Well, that's what this version of Pro Skater 2 brings you. But is it truly a good port of the PlayStation classic? Let's find out shall we.
GRAPHICS: For the most part when you first get into the game, you'll notice that the skaters are made by polygons and not detailed sprites thus making them smooth. Pretty good for a handheld port for the most part.
SOUND: The sound in the game for what I can tell has a good accurate feel from the PlayStation version, sure no actual music, but some catchy tunes while you're skating. All the sounds from when you bail to having the skateboard sounds is pretty much all here.
ADDICTIVENESS: There is a lot to do in the game especially trying to try to beat you or your friend's score on a certain level, but I'm sure it can get kinda repetitive when playing this too much, especially when nothing really changes.
STORY: Well, there really is no kind of story in the game, you're just skating around trying to be the best skater there is.
DEPTH: As far as depth goes, this game has quite a bit to offer. There's a handful of cheats you can use and also a handful of characters, including your friendly neighborhood spidey, Spider-Man (forgive me if I misworded that).
DIFFICULTY: This game can be pretty difficult at some levels, from trying to get the secret tapes, or trying so desperately hard to try to get the high score. The controls may seem pretty difficult to get used to at first but, after a while you can get the hang of it recommended that you experiment on what layout you use. Last thing in the difficulty is that due to the camera angle it can be pretty tough to hit those landings at times, even when you're on a high combo.
This concludes this review of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for GBA. Overall, this is a pretty good version to have with you on the go, from all the levels in the game including everybody's favorite, Warehouse, and the handful of skaters to use, this is a nice little thing to bring on a long trip to keep you occupied. Till next review, happy gaming everyone! -mgharper94
