N64  Skate Heaven without the broken bones 5.0

THE GOOD:
More variety of pro skaters. You can create your own skater. Create-a-park option. More stages. Improved multiplayer options. Almost infinite replay value.

THE BAD:
If you haven't played the first one, takes time to learn controls. Graphics still have issues with "background fog".

SUMMARY:
The sequel to THPS is nothing short of infinitely better than the first title. For starters, there are more pro skaters available, including The Hawk himself plus Bob Burnquist, Chad Muska, Jamie Thomas, and Elissa Steamer, among others. Plus you can now create your own Custom skater complete with his own outfit and custom move set. Additionally, the Park Editor lets you make and save your own skate parks, essentially giving this game infinite replay value. There are also more & new parks (the School returns from THPS1) including a shopping mall, bull ring, even Skate Heaven itself!
New skaters mean a new variery of moves, boards, & outfits you can buy, in addition to buying upgrades for your skater and new areas. There are also new multiplayer options-high score, tag, and Horse. Graphics are improved but there's still a problem with "fog" in the backgrounds due to N64's processing rate. Some of the challenges are also insanely hard for beginners, but there's a lot to do as well-especially if you try to find every gap in the game!
As far as skateboard titles go, this one's about as close to perfect as you can get. Plus the Park Editor enusres you'll never be bored either. If you've got the choice between this one and the first title, get this one without a second thought. And remember to strap on pads & a helmet before playing!

THE GOOD:
The tricks, blood when you fall off, a wide variety of characters to choose from.

THE BAD:
can become boring.

SUMMARY:
This is one of my favourite games on the N64 although once completed becomes very boring, I sold mine after about 2 months and brought a newer game.
Some of the extras are hard to unlock this can prove very tiresome at times but once completed is a boring game.
The game play is great and there is a wide range of tricks to choose from each skateboarder has its own special techniques. So it’s an all round good game until completed.

thanx for readin

THE GOOD:
- Great Game
- Much Fun
- Sequal to the best game ever
- Spiderman is a charactor
- Kick ass Levels
- Game cost around $20

THE BAD:
- Graphics arent so good
- Some of the levels are really easy but fun
- Music is fricken horrible just like all the THPS games
- Games old and the THPS4 is already out

SUMMARY:
I say buy this game if you wanna feel the ultimate THPS wraith. Other then that theres not much to do. I loved the game when it came out but that was then and this is now. Is ay buy THPS4 if your gunna buy a new game. This one isn't as good as the 4th.

THE GOOD:
Create-a-Skater, Park Editor, bigger and brighter levels, new skaters (3), better specials, better graphics, more challenges, money so much better than tapes, you can change your skaters wardrobe, more things to unlock, gap checklist, YOU pick how to do tricks

THE BAD:
can't change wheel color (petty but true), no girl custom skaters, no Element (my favorite skate co.), very limited create-a-skater, no logos on black shirts (petty but true haha), crappy soundtrack (no ska, no punk, crappy hip-hop), very plain and limited custom parks, no attention to detail (NY city is a greal level, but no Times Square, nor downtown whatsoever; Philly is pretty boring)

SUMMARY:
Spider-man is a great hidden skater, Rodney Mullen is a great (if not necessary) addition to the lineup. New and improved Jamie Thomas, or all the skaters for that matter. Skate Heaven was not as I expected it to be, it's pretty small and dark. I hear that its not as good as the PSX version, which kinda sucks (n64 folks are always gettin screwed that way). The soundtrack from the first one is so much better, they really did a horrible job in this one. If you're gonna try to incorporate hip-hop, do it right. They needed more ska, Reel Big Fish third wave type stuff. Punk wouldve helped, more DK, NOFX, Screeching Weasel, even pop-punk like MXPX wouldnt hurt. No girls!!! I was pretty pissed, that sucks. By the way, the custom skater option is very limited. Each complexion has its own head styles. Clothing selection is decent, but could be better. Other than that, it's awesome game!!! I hardly ever put it down!

THE GOOD:
Very Realistic Tricks and environments to skate your way around. God-like sound track, Excellent theme and a variety of multiplayer options.

THE BAD:
Needs more Levels, or the levels need more! thats just me talking though...

SUMMARY:
You play as One of 12 Proffesional Skateboarders of today, featuring the likes of the Vert God himself 'Tony Hawk' and street Skaters like 'Eric Koston'.

On top of that you also get to play in Realistic Skateparks from around the world, with an excellent aray of things to do tricks on...umm yeah.

If you like Skateboarding and dont like videogames which is highly unlikely, play this game and you will be hooked. Trust me.
