Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 2000

Is it still worth playing?

Neversoft's 2000 skateboarding game for the PlayStation, later released on Windows, Dreamcast and the Nintendo 64. Its career mode is a series of levels, each with a score to beat within two minutes. Reaching it depends on chaining tricks, grinding rails and manualing between ramps, and the manual is new in this installment. As for skaters, three official ones were added alongside Create a Skater, and unlockables include Spider-Man's symbiote suit. Beyond the career, Park Creator lets you set a park's size and place ramps, rails, ledges, in ground pools and billboards, the first level editor in the series. Two players get Horse, Tag, Trick Attack and Graffiti. A focused score chase of two minute runs and chained tricks, with parks of your own to build, is still the reason to play it today.
