When Tony Hawks Collide

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 8 / 11

This game is definatelty looking to be greatness. All the level from Tony Hawk 1 and 2 with very revampes graphics. It also has 5 new levels. Its a shame the some will not buy this because Tony Kawk 3 is coming out close to the same date as it. This is assured to be one of the best games at launch, if it manages to stay a launch game that is. The graphics are very good, i havnt seen enough pictures to say amazing though. If you like other Tony Hawks than youll love this. Only people that do not like skateboarding games will not like this. I also hear that the grass flows in real time, which most people like me wont care about, but some people might. I am very eager to play this and see if it meets my expectations which im sure it will. I dont know if this is going to be better than Tony Hawk 3 or not, but i know that it has better graphics at least, plus its made by the same people, so they'll make the games equal and not be competing.

preview- ITS GONNA BE AMAZING

I have just rented Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for N64 and it a stunning game. Now if you do like THP2(how can you not?) then you will go crazy for THP2X. This game is going to have THP1 + 2 with 3 exclusive levels for the XBOX. It will have amazing graphics, and this cool blur effect when you have full special meter. Now you can go back to the old THP levels using the tricks scheme from the second game. Not only that but it will have Online Tournaments also. This game is going to be the best THP GAME out of all of them for every system.
MUST BUY FOR XBOX

Tony Hawk gets it again!

Whether you have THPS 1 or 2 or both you should still buy it.
Better graphics and control-(pretty amazing)! Also more skaters and levels. If your're thinking of buying an Xbox this is reason enough!

Better then PS2 and Gamecube...

I think this game shows exactly how far above Xbox technology is above PS2 and Gamecube. This is a remake of the PS1 etc... version which was fun but the graphics weren't that amazing. Now you have Tony Hawk 3 on PS2 and Gamecube, but the interesting this is that Tony Hawk 2X has better graphics. Plus all those amazing extras.

I highly recommend picking this up and waiting the couple months for Tony Hawk 3 to come to Xbox with even better graphics and bonus levels and features that won't be on the PS2 or Gamecube.

A + game!

when i bought this game, i was expecting a great game. Well, when i bought it, i was surprised to find that it was a spectacular game! I t takes advantage of the xbox's capabilities.
The graphics are so realistic! if anybody tells you the graphics arent amazing,than they must have been expecting them to look like they had been taken with a video camera! There is endless fun in the game.

When you are playing a game, there are 3 things that make the game good or bad.
1: graphics- does the character look like blurry blob of colors? certainly not in this game. they are so realistic. for example, if you fall really badly then you will see blood next to your skater laying on the ground. from 1-10 THPS2x gets a 9.0
2: gameplay- is it hard to learn the controls? does looking at your controller and thinking about the buttons to be pressed suck the fun out of the game? activision continues to do a great job with the controls. it must have been hard to come up with controls for a skateboarding game. Other games, like a hockey game, making the controls is easy- 1 button is pass, one button is shoot, one button is check etc,but in THPS2x they manage to make the controls just as easy. i give the gameplay and 8.5
3:value- will this game be fun for a couple of days and then get boring? will you waste your money on a game that keeps you entertained for a couple of hours? not if you buy this game. i have had this game since april (i think) and whenever i get the chance i pick it up and play it. there are 3 parts to the game: improved levels from THPS2 , the new levels just for this game, and improved levels from THPS. all of the parts are extremely fun and entertaining. THis is how the game works. you start out playing the first level from thps2. when you acheive a certain amount of goals, you go to the next one. once you beat the first group of levels, you go onto the next group. you can do this with one of the 10(?) pro skaters that are available or you can create your own skater. if you beat the game a certain amount of times (i wont give it away) you can unlock many cool cheats like moon physics and unlimited balance and unlock skaters like spiderman and a donut eating police man. and if you get bored with the 24(?) levels (which is highly unlikely) you can build your own skatepark.want to show your friends the cool new game you got? you can play with up to 4 people in 5 awesome multiplayer games. get the point? from 1-10 in value this game gets an 11.
i hope you liked my review and i hope it was helpful!! :)

many people have been complaining that this game is more of the same and well, it is. What people seem to overlook though is that on the N64 you have tony hawk 1 and 2. on the gamecube you have number 3. while you also have 1,2, and 3 for playstation. also a better version of 3 for PS2. well now to the point, this is microsofts first system so they dont have 1 or 2 so why not re-make it for their system. the greatest thing is that it is all on one disk instead of two with better graphics and some extra levels. not to mention the xbox will also get tony hawk 3 soon. oh and why did evryone complain when they remade one and two for xbox but did not care when nintendo did it for the N64?

DONT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS GAME IS BAD

This game is unbelievably good. If you are worrying about not having THPS on it, it is because you need to unlock it. This game combines 1, 2, and 5 new levels to the Tony Hawk gaming experience. It's my favorite game for Xbox. Sure they have THPS3 for Gamecube and PS2, but they will make it for Xbox, and when they do, it will have even better graphics and probably a couple new levels or codes to use. So don't not get THPS2X because of PS2 and Gamecube having THPS3, this is the right choice. Believe me.

The Game That Started It All

The packaging can be a little deceptive, but this game contains all the levels of Tony Hawk 1 and Tony Hawk 2, plus 5 levels exclusively for the Xbox. The levels from THPS 1 & 2 have been redone, with better graphics added such as grass (which you have to see cause it's amazing). Even if you beat those games years ago this is still a fantastic addition to any video game collection because these are games that never get old to play. Even with the release of Tony Hawk 3, these games have a steadfast value because they have AMAZING gameplay.
This is a must have title, and a great value because it is essentially two great games in one.

For those of us who loved the first 2...

This is a great game if you can find it. Priced now at some places for less then ten bucks, this is a must-own for all skateboarding/Tony Hawk Loving/video game freaks. Heres why I think you should buy TH2x, for the XBOX.

1) Gameplay: This really is 2 games in 1. It has the ENTIRE Tony Hawk 2 game in here, with the same challenges and stuff. Only with a ton of improvements. The graphics are so much better (get to that later), you can now listen to your own music on the hard disk, you can create a person (more options and...better graphics). Just about everything is better. But that's just the beggining. Once you beat the game, you unlock 2x mode. What's that?

2x mode is basilcy a whole new game, with 5 BRAND *NEW* levels for your XBOX to enjoy. You can basicly complete different goals, but instead of getting cash, you get tapes (wow, CREATIVE!). When you get a certain number of tapes, you earn a new park to skateboard in. And, again, you can listen to your own music, and the graphics kick...toosh!

2) Graphics: HUGE improvement. Example, instead of grass just being a flat surface colored green, it has individual blades of grass, blowing in the wind, getting crushed and loose when you skate over it. Everything is sharper, more clear and focused. And, while certain areas didn't really get touched upon, the things that did (example: the snow in The Hangar), are much appreciated. Excellent job Activision, you realized that the XBOX has more power than the PlayStation!

Seriously though, the graphics look a TON better. Definantly worth the work. Almost a new game.

3) Multiplayer: Basicly everything #2 had, including the same places to skate (plus the new 2x levels), all the same games (Trick Run, Tag, Horse, Free Skate, etc...). Now with the ability to play with 4 controller, and AGAIN, listen to your own music.

Great game, worth your buy if you find it. Everything that was #2 with the power of XBOX, Personal Soundtracks, and new levels to try. All for less than 10 bucks in most places.

Definantly reccomended.

Thx!
