WHYPT - Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
Long before skateboard controllers, free roaming and driving cars, the Tony Hawks franchise was about skating with style.
Don’t believe me, then go back and play the best in the series, Tony Hawks 2. What a badass game.
Soundtrack
Lets get this out there, contradictory to my previous statement, the soundtrack is the best part. From Rage against the Machine and Public Enemy, to Mos Def and Papa Roach it’s just one awesome sound after another. Back then you didn’t need to import your own songs to a game, because the songs already rocked.
No. Title 1. “Rage Against the Machine - “Guerrilla Radio“ 2. “Bad Religion - “You” 3. “Anthrax featuring Chuck D. of Public Enemy - “Bring The Noise“ 4. “Powerman 5000 - “When Worlds Collide“ 5. “Naughty by Nature - “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” 6. “Papa Roach - “Blood Brothers” 7. “The High and Mighty featuring Mos Def & Mad Skillz - “B-Boy Document 99″ 8. “Consumed - “Heavy Metal Winner” 9. “Dub Pistols - “Cyclone” 10. “Swingin’ Utters - “Five Lessons Learned” 11. “Styles of Beyond - “Subculture” 12. “Millencolin - “No Cigar“ 13. “Alley Life featuring Black Planet – “Out With the Old” 14. “Lagwagon - “May 16″ 15. “Fu Manchu - “Evil Eye”
 Gameplay
It’s all here. Grinding, Handplants, Christ Air, The 900. Not to mention Noseslides, Tailslides and Bluntslides becoming mainstays of the genre. Endless skating and racking up utterly ridiculous combos is the name of the game. Only the best players need apply. And you could prove your quality by playing horse with friends and wasting away most of the after school hours like we did.
Sure it looks a bit dated now, but lets call it vintage instead.
Before the series got infected with all the superfluous crap
One of the best PS1Â Games there ever was.
When a game is this good, it just never dies.
