I was expecting a lot from this game. it had good reviews and it was a tony hawk game. I own tony hawk 1 and 2 on dreamcast already so i decided to buy it. but what i found out when i played it was that it was extremely hard to see even in direct light and that it was also extremly hard to figure out the controls. I couldn't get used to the top down camera view and i found it very difficult to complete the tasks asked on each level. everything seemed like a hassle in the game( even grinding on a ledge) and not much fun. the only thing i like about this game is the graffics but other than that i find the whole thing too small to see, too dark, to hard to get used to the controls and overall bad

not fun 1 bit

I bought this game thinking it was going to be good like the other Tony Hawk game boy I was wrong!!I don't Know but it seems I'm the only one against the view. 3/4 view gets extremley frustrting! Your always asking yourself Were do I jump? were do I go to get that? Because of the view. But the graphics are great. But overall I think it's not a very good game. Not even to Tony fans because I'm a huge Tony fan.

Why does everyone think its so great?????

Sure the graphics are good you can give it that but they dont matter a ton to me. The game got me bored in less than a minute and the controls are hard to get used to. There aren't enough levels either. I like pro skater games but not this one.

Beware!!! This game is VERY DARK (almost imposible to see)

Literally, this game is too dark to play without eye strain. Although the Nintendo version of this game is also dark, it's played on a much larger screen. However, on the GameBoy Advance screen, unless you're playing outside in daylight, forget it (even with a worm light). I pre-ordered this game along with the new GameBoy Advance and misc. accessories for my son's 8th birthday and had to return the game (Tony Hawk's Pro-Skater) this morning. I've since ordered Rayman via Amazon - hopefully it will be "brighter." If Rayman is as hard to see as Tony Hawk's I will return the machine. We have the original GameBoy, a Nintendo system and both Playstations (I and II) and I have NEVER RETURNED A GAME UNTIL NOW.

XXXXXXX

Tony hawk2 is a great game, but if you are good at thps, espescially thps2, this is not a game for you. Not. While its fun for a while, it gets really easy to beat. after a while (3 days) i was able to beat the game with any character in 20 minutes. however, if you dont intend to play this game all the time, maybe only on roadtrips or during a plane flight, then its great. good graphics, good sound, nice cheats, but the controls are somewhat lacking. gameplay is downright bad. dont think im some jerk, though, i loved this game at first. its just too dang easy and repetetive. get advance wars.

Stick to the Playstation

Let me get one thing straight. I love the Tony Hawk franchise. Everytime a new Tony Hawk game comes out, it consumes my life for at least a month. My entire world becomes a huge skatepark, as I start looking for a good skating line everywhere I go. However, the reason Tony Hawk has become such a popular game is because it is a skating game that is actually easy to control, that just about anybody can pick up and play without any trouble, where you can do insane inhuman tricks that most people would never think of attempting in real life. Unfortunately, the Game Boy Advance version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is very hard to control. The game needs to be 3-D, not 2.5-D, like this game is. You will find yourself constantly turning the wrong direction because of this. In addition, the awkward placement of the buttons on the Game Boy Advance can be very frustrating. If you are used to playing on the Playstation or N64, it will take quite some time to get used to hitting the R and L buttons for the moves, the A button to ollie, and the B button to grind. I constantly found myself hitting the wrong buttons.

When it comes down to it, you will be playing the same Tony Hawk as you played on your Playstation, but with fewer levels. Because of the aforementioned control problems, you will not be able to pull off the insane stunts and scores that you could on your Playstion version. Even if you could, your character is so small that it would not look nearly as cool as it did on your TV at home. Why bother?

Worst Tony Hawk version

I am sickened that the average score for this game based on everyone's reviews is 5 stars. Are you KIDDING ME? First off, this stupid isometric psuedo-3d view is INFURIATING. Good luck lining up those big rails and jumps, or any half-pipe for that matter. You'll have a great time flying off the edge of the ramp because you can't line up your skater straight to the jump. All those objectives that took a week to complete on the console versions will take you a month on this terrible platform. Get used to doing the Start-Retry thing cause you'll be doing it a lot. There's not nearly as many tricks in this abbreviated version, the boards are sometimes truncated as well. Skaters pretty much all look the same (since they're all 1 centimeter tall on the screen anyway). Part of the allure of Tony Hawk was GREAT control and the ability to see the board. All that is gone for Game Boy Advance. Avoid this game.

this game is ok

I've had my gameboy advance since it came out and this game is ok but it gets kind of boring over a while. If you dont really understand skateboarding, i suggest not to get this game. I enjoyed it alot, but I have already beaten it about five times. I hope this review has been helpful to you.
