Tony Hawk 2 levels + Tony Hawk 1 levels + 5 new ones!
Pro Skater is a skateboarding game like no other, first, chose from 13 pro skaters each with their own tricks, stats and special moves or create your own custom made pro skater. Then have them skate in eight detailed skate parks (several more hidden!). The price of this game is so low (because it is dated), and the graphics are a huge step up from the Playstation and N64 versions, such as very detailed textures and even graffiti looks great. The X-Box version of this game does a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. This game came out after Tony Hawk 3 had come out, and could have included several upgrades from the superior Tony Hawk 3 game. The makers of the game did not use the X-Box to its full capability, such as having limitless saves for replays, created skaters and created skate parks. There are no custom soundtracks either, which is a huge let down with the X-Box's hard drive able of keeping music on it. The game really needs to be divided into three parts, the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 part, that has eight courses to skate on where for each course, there are a number of goals to accomplish for each, such getting high scores by earning points from performing tricks, grinds, and jumps over gaps (like building to building), collecting the letters SKATE, grinding three rails, jumping over fire hydrants and various other things, they vary from level to level. When you complete a goal you get money to gain cash that you can buy new skateboards, upgrades to better your skater and you can also buy bigger tricks. The second part comes after you complete the Tony Hawk 2 game, then it unlocks a new career, the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2X, which consists of five ALL NEW courses exclusively for the X-Box. The levels are a nigh club in London, a construction site in Texas, a skate park in Tampa Bay (the skate park is also in Tony Hawk's Underground), and two fictional areas, the subway and a skatepark with large grinds. There are new goals to do, but you do not get money for completing these goals. These courses are very lack luster and look more like they were rejected from Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1, which brings us to the third part of the game. Once you go through three of the Tony Hawk 2X levels that unlocks the old Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 levels! You can skate through them pretty quickly, even with the upgraded textures there are no other improvements to the Tony Hawk 1 levels. The game has twenty-four courses in all!

THPS 2X
Tony Hawk 2X is exactly what you expect -- an amazing translation of Tony Hawk1 and 2 with extra touches such as more detailed characters, and crisper textures and details on the environments. Unfortunately, because it's exactly what you expect, this isn't a game that can be recommended to everyone. If you haven't played Tony Hawk 1 or 2 on the other systems, AND you've just picked up an Xbox, then this is definitely worth your purchase. If you've already played the games on the other systems, AND don't own a GameCube or PS2 with which to play Tony Hawk 3, then this might be a game to consider for you launch package. But if you answered no to any of the above, this is probably not worth your money, unless you're a die-hard Tony Hawk completist that must own every version ever made. Despite the new additions, this just can't compete with the gameplay in NeverSoft's latest effort, no matter how polished.

I'm so addicted to this game I need to go to Rehab!
After getting into music and reading, my hobby of playing video games kind of faded into the shadow of those two things. But recently, I picked up this game used for about 5 dollars because it seemed like a good deal. IM HAPPY I DID! Right after putting this game in, I was sucked into the world of Tony Hawk and skateboarding. I became so addicted to this game I played it non-stop until I had 100 % on all the THPS 2 levels and got all the THPS Tapes from THPS 1 and 2x. Along with the excellent and well-crafted levels of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, you also get the creative and always-fun bonus levels of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x! Plus, to round out the package, you get the entire THPS 1! Although not as creative or long as THPS 2, these levels never dissapoint in the least, and you still have a blast playing them! Trust me, when you buy this, you will not stop playing this till you have beaten every inch of this game, and then you can do Free Skate for ages and it never gets old! The only things I didn't really like about this game was that the soundtrack was a little lame and the Create-a-Park feature wasn't to comphrehensive and slightly limited! This goes well with Metallica or AC/DC!

Highly Recommended! Great deal for the XBOX!
