THPS2 is cool by me. Maybe I can interview Tony

Dave: So Tony...why do you allow your name and likeness to be used on so many inferior games these days? And what the hell was up with that hover board controller?

Fully endorse THPS - I played the heck out of the first two games on the dreamcast, and I don't care for skateboarding in the least. Just a great game overall.

in all seriousness, THPS2 was the game that made me a gamer again after 5 years of not touching a controller.

I am also happy with Tony Hawk 2, even though I kinda wanted to play a racer.

I'd happily send my vote to Pro Skater 2. Plus that gives me an excuse to buy it for Xbox

Wasn't the Xbox version the final release for THPS2? I think I remember something about new music and exclusive levels.

More than that. It's the definitive version it seems.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X was released on November 14, 2001 (only in the U.S. and Canada) as a launch title for Microsoft's Xbox. The game contained remade versions of all the levels from the first two games in the Tony Hawk series, five new levels, a 4-player split screen and LAN multi-player feature and the ability to create females in Create-a-skater mode. Other new features include a redesigned main page and grind balance meter.

From what I can find on top of that:

No fog
The sun
Motion blur
Wind effects on clothing
Slightly larger levels and redesigned elements
Custom music from your hard drive
Blades of grass

It's also 360 compatible

yeah, I feel like we finally tackled the Sports genre with a pretty good sense of agreement. Now if we could just sort out the RPG debacle.

Do we have to do RPG? Let's drop it and put Pinball in instead.

I don't like that idea. I like when TR does some longer games like an RPG so that some of us are given motivation to focus on something longer and actually complete it.
