Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 (2000)
The original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is amazing. But THPS2 is the better game, boasting the same snappy and responsive 3D skateboarding as its predecessor, but with new features and tricks. THPS2 added manuals, letting you combo more tricks together to reach higher scores. It also included create-a-skater and create-a-park, letting younger me spend way too many hours tinkering with the game. Really, the only reason I stopped playing THPS2 was to play THPS3 on PS2. — Zack Zwiezen
