The game that redefined the game that redefined video games. [Mar 2002, p.34]
Maxim Online
Now instead of finding public places to trash, you can make and destroy your own property—but we’re not sure that’s nearly as fun.

A continuation of a landmark series that has so far highlighted some of the best gameplay to be found on the PSX.

If you have something you need to get done right now, a paper, a report, just hold off on buying this game until you're finished because other tasks don't stand a chance when playing THPS2 is an option.

It's so good it should come with a warning label -- or at least some methadone.

The best skateboarding game ever and one of the greatest PlayStation games of all time.
Daily Radar
A staggering achievement in video gaming -- not only building on its stunning predecessor, but actually eclipsing it.

Grind until your wheels fall off, because that's what we do almost every single day.

Don't wait any longer if you don't have this game -- THPS 2 is the most fun and solid purchase any Playstation owner can make.

The levels are bigger, the trick catalog is more plentiful, the number of goals per level has been doubled, and the already stunning gameplay has been honed even further.

Everything in Tony Hawk 2 is bigger, badder and most of all, better.

If I ever wind up stuck on a desert island with nothing but a PlayStation and a few select games, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is one game I will definitely own.

This game is so phat man, it's sick.
PSX Nation
Maybe the level design of the original wasn't so special to you but for us it's a step down.

An excellent skating game. I have enjoyed this game for many, many years.
LividFiction gave it a9:
While THPS was an oustanding game, THPS2 guaranteed the series' ongoing success. With new tricks and two new modes—Create-a-Skater and Create-a-Park—THPS2 is skateboarding realized in a way that wasn't fully recaptured until THPS4.
