Everything I said about the THPS1 port also applies to this THPS2 port as well. Thoroughly mediocre port job that could’ve been much better, had the N64 version been a priority. But considering that the N64 was very much on its last legs and on the way out by this point? The deprioritisation of this port makes perfect sense here. -

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 NA release: 21st August 2001 EU release: 12th October 2001 NA release: N/A Developer: Neversoft, Edge of Reality Publisher: Activision N64 Magazine Score: 90% Most of what I said about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 still applies here: while this is a perfectly functional port of a PlayStation game, some of the cutbacks – especially the heavily reduced soundtrack – make this more of a “it’ll do if you don’t have a PlayStation” kind of game. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 does bring some new features, such as the manual move to better string combos together (although I found it rarely actually continued a combo when I played) and more consistent levels across the game. You could also unlock Spider-Man in the game (made possible due to the developers also making a Spider-Man game). It’s interesting to see how licensed characters could be handled back then – he isn’t mentioned at all on the box, he’s just a secret unlockable in the game, just a bit of a bonus, rather than something purely done for marketing reasons. One thing of note is that this was the N64’s final game in Europe, and the last N64 game reviewed by N64/NGC Magazine. Fun Remake or remaster? The remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is the best way to play most of the game, but if you want Spider-Man (plus some bonus levels), you’ll need to check out Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2x on the original Xbox. Official Ways to get the game The remake is available on most platforms. -
Just a heads up, @RedShell. I don't use that Down B for my Mii, I use that one that makes the Mii flip forward. I can't counter to save my life! -

Game two done and dusted. I had heard it was short so I went and did this one next. And yes, it was done in just under 7 hours. But was it worth it, yes. It's not a taxing game, it's not going to rack your brain, but sometimes you just need a game that you can put on and enjoy for what it is. I likened it a lot to games like Limbo, Little Nightmares. It's a fairly simple point to point game with a few open areas in-between. You start out with a group of other cats and start to wonder off across the very simple "tutorial stage". And then after trying to follow the rest of them over a larger gap, the pipe you are on breaks and you fall into down into the dark of the sewers. From there you are going from point to point really traversing the ground and rooftops, railings and other assortment of stuff on the sides of buildings. You eventually get to the first main area where you get your first idea on what the story is about and why things are the way they are in the underground world. You meet a little robot buddy that helps you talk to the inhabitants and helps you collect stuff along the way. There weren't a lot in the way of side quests or alternate stuff to do outside of the main story, collecting memories of the robot buddy is pretty much it but this didn't bother me. You can still spend time finding all the memories in each chapter by exploring every little side street or house and room. There's a nice little twist halfway through which has you do some stuff without the robot buddy. I nice change of pace but nothing taxing. It's fun to just walk around as a cat jumping up on things and knocking stuff off. As cats do. The ending seems to creep up a bit quicker than I thought whilst playing. I knew I was at the point where the end was in view, but it seemed to just end when you did that one thing you had to do. Little disappointed there. Was hoping you'd get to see a bit more. there are many spots on the game that just allow you to lay down and go to sleep as the cat. Adds nothing to the game and doesn't move things along but is just quite cute. It wasn't all great though. This may just be the Switch but I on a few occasions the game started to stutter along like it was chugging at 5fps. It just seemed to crawl. At one point the game just straight up froze. I wasn't even doing a lot in the game at the point it did it. It just stopped. I also came across a number of glitches and visual glitches that whilst were funny (one shown below) didn't harper the game. I did have to reset when I got stuck inside some tires though. Overall a lovely little game, I got 21/27 memories as shown on the game select screen, so it maybe worth another play through in the future. 8/10 I got stuck Visual Glitchiness fun. Updated pledge
