I got into skateboarding soon after Back to the Future hit theaters and got out of it as soon as I found out I was too chicken to pull an Ollie on a paved surface. I had a beautiful board that rode like a dream, but my imagination was too good. I was...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at Games First!
It's all about manual dexterity, timing and creativity. You get a level, obstacles, power-ups and a time limit, go do your thing, perform as many boss tricks as you can and win the prize-money. Winning and losing all come down to how quick and fly you...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at GameSpy

Game Vortex
Wow. Even though the Tony Hawk series has always placed astounding gameplay miles ahead of eye candy, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on Game Boy Advance looks better than we could've imagined. Character animations alone make this one of the prettiest launch...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at Game Vortex

If you're buying a Game Boy Advance, you need to buy this game too. There's no doubt in my mind-this is the best Game Boy Advance game I've played. Everything you remember from THPS2 on the DC, PSX, PC is pretty much in here save for the music, which...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at Game Rankings
The Game Boy Advance version of Tony Hawk 2 delivers the same single-player modes that were contained in the original.

The portable version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 features most of what you’ll find on your PlayStation, Dreamcast or Nintendo 64.

The rocking soundtrack suits the game perfectly, with tracks by Naughty by Nature, Papa Roach, and other punk/rock bands. It suits the street style of the game well. While it’s not for everyone, it never distracts you and can be kept at a low volume....read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at PGNx Media

In terms of portable games, THPS 2 is graphically amazing. Even with 32-bit hardware most games turned out to be two-dimensional, but Tony takes advantage of the technology quite well. You will not be able to change the camera angle and will be forced to...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at Gaming Target

Last year, the PSone had so many great games on it that we almost didn't have enough time to play them all. This year, we're in a similar situation with the Game Boy Advance and I couldn't be happier. Like the PSone, Game Boy Advance has one game that...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at DarkStation

Before I dive into this review, and really before you play and/or evaluate the Game Boy Advance version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 for yourself, I think something needs to be said about this port. In the past, handheld versions of current console...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at Planet Gamecube

While it may be the most obvious thing in the world, I’ll mention it anyway – TH2 is all about skateboarding. But even if you’ve got no interest in the sport you’ll probably have fun with TH2. The controls are fairly simple to learn and are...read the complete Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 review at Armchair Empire
