Info

Customized 3D Skate Park
In addition to skating some of the most legendary skate spots in the world, players can create their own parks to rule. Players design their dream park in realtime 3D using a variety of ramps, funboxes, rails and other objects with a toolbox of nearly a hundred different parts. All creations can be saved to share with friends, and played in any game mode.

Create-A-Skater
Just like the first game, players have the choice to skate as Tony Hawk or one of the many pro riders found in the game. All of the riders have returned from the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater, with the addition of Steve Caballero, Eric Koston, and Rodney Mullen. The big addition to the game is the ability to build a character from scratch.

Expanded Tricks and Controls
All of the tricks that made Tony Hawk's Pro Skater so much fun to play are back. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 takes it to the next level with hundreds of additional tricks that include nose/tailslides, nose/bluntslides, varial flip, a multitude of new grabs, expanded inverts, lip tricks, nollies, manuals, and more realistic switch skating. And when they fall, players will see and hear the enhanced bails, nutters, knee slides, pole wraps, board breaks and wall splats.

Additional Multiplayer Modes
Compete against your friends in the original modes of Trick Attack, Graffiti, and Horse plus a new addition, Tag Mode. In addition, the new multi-player contest disciplines of Regular and Best Trick allow 1-8 players to take turns skating heats in the competition levels of the game.

Music Soundtrack and In-Game Licenses
