Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x - Review | |
|

First, take any console port of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, bump the framerate up to 60fps, and keep the super tight gameplay intact. Then replace the textures with near photo-realistic versions, smooth out the polygon models and eliminate all traces of fog or draw-in. Next, spread on a think layer of real-time lighting, new special effects, and a hint of anti-aliasing. Lastly, toss in all the levels from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 along with 5 brand new levels, and Voila! You now have the recipe for the ultimate Tony Hawk's Pro Skater compilation, or in other words, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x for the Xbox. I didn't really know what to expect when Activision announced they would be bringing an enhanced version of THPS2 to the Xbox. Better graphics were expected of course, but the inclusion of all the original levels along with 5 new exclusive levels, just sealed the deal. I've played nearly every version of THPS 2 out there and none can hold a candle to 2x. | ||
