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.

In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, the park editor included a spike trap called a "Pungee Pit." Brian David Gilbert gets to the bottom of why Neversoft included a UN-banned guerrilla warfare tactic in their lighthearted skateboarding game.
