Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is the second game in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series of sports games. It was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision in 2000. It was first released for the Sony PlayStation, with subsequent ports to the Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance, Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, Xbox (as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X) and iOS. The game received widespread critical acclaim and remains one of the highest rated video games of all time.
The player, playing as a professional skateboarder (either real-life or created) completes a number of tasks which result in cash rewards. With money gained, the player can then purchase skill improvements and better tricks and skateboards. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was also the first game in the series to introduce the manual, a skateboarding trick where the performer balances on two wheels. This improved players' ability to string together high-scoring trick combos. Many new tricks were introduced for the first time, as was the option to edit the combinations for tricks. It was also the first of the Pro Skater games to feature Create-a-Skater and Park Editor features, now staples in the series. Three new professional skaters were introduced to the series on this game: Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, and Eric Koston.
Most of the levels in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 are designed for the player to complete 10 tasks in a two-minute time limit. Such tasks include finding the five letters of the word SKATE, finding 5 of an object specific to the level (hall passes in the school level for example), three tasks related to the score (as opposed to two on the first game), a particular grind, and finding a hidden tape somewhere in the level. Cash is also scattered around the levels in order for players to find, with a bonus once the level is fully cleared. Once a player has enough cash, they can continue on to a new level. The maximum amount of money that can be obtained in a single skater career is $150,000.
