Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 2000

About

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a skateboarding sports game played from a third-person view across a set of urban environments. Players control professional or fictional skaters and chain together tricks such as grinds, grabs, flips, and lip tricks, using manuals to link combos into longer scoring runs. The career mode tasks players with completing level objectives and competitions to earn cash, which is used to unlock new levels and characters and to improve a skater's stats and equipment. It also includes free skate and single session modes, several competitive multiplayer games, and a level editor for building custom parks. It is the second entry in the Tony Hawk's series.

What is happening now

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a skateboarding sports game released in 2000 across multiple platforms, featuring customizable parks built through the game's editor tool. Recent coverage has examined an unusual design choice in the park editor: the inclusion of a spike trap obstacle called a "Pungee Pit," which mimics a guerrilla warfare tactic that has been banned by the United Nations. The discovery has prompted retrospective interest in why Neversoft included such a dark mechanic in an otherwise lighthearted skateboarding title.
