Hawk in is best!

User Rating: 9.8 | Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 GBA
The game is one of the best release titles for this hand held system. "THPS2" features a 45-degree angle viewpoint -- not a complete bird's eye view, yet not completely parallel to the sk8er either.

There are seven levels in all, five of which are from "THPS2" for Playstation, PC and other systems. The sixth one is the warehouse from the original and the seventh is Rooftops of Boston. Many of the levels, in true "THPS" fashion, have secret areas that are accessed by jumping or grinding over things. The levels are not as big as the console game versions, but are still plenty big for all the fun that made the console versions true classics.

Tony and a couple of other sk8ers make the roster for selectable characters. Mindy and Spider-man are the two secret characters that have to be earned by completing certain objectives in the game.

"THPS2" GBA is pretty much neutral from a Christian outlook, unless you count big, painful crashes as excessive violence. The engine is very well done; the first 3D hand held game rocks on all levels in this arena. The gameplay is very fun, an AWESOME choice for road trips. Overall an 86%.

Hints: Grind and jump over everything -- who knows when you will open a secret area or perform a special trick?! All ages will love this game. It's neither too tough nor too difficult for most.
