A Blast from 2 Pasts, and Who Likes Antiques?

On December 26, 2001, I bough a little game called Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x. I played for about an hour, then I was ready to just let it go. For good reason, too. THPS and THPS2 remain two of the greatest games in video game history. So why is the combination of both plus a little extra so terrible? Easy: the lack of graphical appeal, the superior reminiscence (which is a bad thing, and the lack of options. For example, when creating your own character, you have about eight different colors to choose from for shirts (all of which suck) and a few types of pants that, when actually played with in the game, end up looking like old flares from the 70's. Twenty-four levels, that's a good thing, but not when the extra levels are so tiny and fanciful, and the other levels are all just relics. What makes things worse are the physics: Oh I HATE the physics! When your playing the game, and do an ollie, you feel like you have the moon physics cheat on. The only way to make it the least bit realistic is to put sim mode on. All in all, THPS2X is a very bad game. G R A P H I C S - 4.0 All the grass is animated nicely, as are the skaters and detail is good. But the physics are terrible and the skaters look like they just got back from a trip to 1968. S O U N D - 5.0 You can burn your own tracks or listen to the classics. Who can get tired of sound like this? C O N T R O L - 3.5 The poor physics make it hard to really skate around, and sim mode helps minorly. The only way to make this game realistic is to put slow- mo and sim mode on. And even then... F U N F A C T O R - 2.5 A big mistake on Neversoft's part. Maybe a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Special Edition with just the extra courses at a reduced price, but $49.99 for this load of crap; save your dough for Tony 3...PLEASE!
