Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x Critic Reviews

The more rabid Tony Hawk fans should find more then enough here to come back and play through it again while the newbies get a great introduction to the series.

Just an especially well polished game.

Packs in enough extras to really shine.

THPS2x does not have much more to offer than the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 as well as the fact that it is a port, even though it is still a great game.

New sounds, better quality, more levels, a park editor that lets you do everything but make you the King of England. The best part is the movies and the near DVD quality presentation they show.

Can the Xbox controller handle THPS? The feeling is quite awkward at first, but after a few hours, you'll come to terms with the button configuration. It's like breaking in a new pair of shoes.

For the added levels and pumped-up graphics alone, this is worth having.

If you’re waiting for the next generation of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, wait for the next version.

Newcomers to the Tony Hawk series will receive the most enjoyment and challenge from THPS2x, but fans of the series may want to take a brief trip down memory lane, courtesy of the Xbox.

Perhaps one of the biggest improvements over previous incarnations of Tony Hawk would be the soundtrack...Now you can skate to whoever it is that gets you in mood, be it the Ramones, Black Flag, or Color Me Badd.

If you played Tony Hawk 2 on Dreamcast, your probably thinking, is it worth it? In a way it is worth it, but if you can hold off till THPS 3, then you really don't need to get this game.

The textures in this game may not look quite as nice as the Bungie first-person shooter, but it does make up for it with a lovely blur effect giving you a real sensation of speed and some fairly attractive lighting and shadowing.

The new levels are good, but they aren’t that good.

It's a sweet package for your permanent library, bu tif you've played any earlier version and aren't a Tony junkie, you can get by with a rental to check out the new stuff.

Anyone playing Tony 3 or anyone with the DC version of Tony 2 needn't bother.

For those of you who've played the previous versions to death, then you may want to pass on this and wait for part 3 to come out early next year.

If you’ve never played a Tony Hawk game, 2X is a tremendous value.

Despite the new additions, this just can't compete with NeverSoft's latest effort , no matter how polished.

For the already initiated, the new levels aren’t even worth a rental and getting used to skating with the Xbox controller can be like getting used to a splinter in your eye.

Really nothing more than a rehash.
