Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the second skateboarding game in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. It was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision in 2000. It was first released for the PlayStation, with subsequent ports to the Nintendo 64 (by Edge of Reality), Dreamcast (by Treyarch), and Game Boy Advance (by Vicarious Visions), Mac OS, and the Windows PC. It was also released for the Game Boy Color, and was better received than the first installment on that machine. In spite of that, it still bore little resemblance to the other versions of the game. The Game Boy Advance version, however, was highly applauded for translating the style and sense of the game accurately into 2D. It was also renowned for being "the world's first handheld 3D game."

It features the series' trademark open-ended gameplay, in which the player (playing as a well-known professional skateboarder) completes a number of missions which result in cash rewards. With the cash, one can purchase skill improvements and better skateboards. THPS 2 was also the first game in the series to introduce the manual. The manual, a skateboarding trick where the performer balances on his back two wheels (i.e., a wheelie), enables game players to string together trick combos worth hundreds of thousands of points. It was also the first of the Pro Skater games to feature Create-a-Skater and Park Editor features, now staples in the series.
