Well, if it doesn\'t online play (and it won\'t) I don\'t see a compelling reason to buy it. But, at the same time I didn\'t like the first two THPS games, so that is just another big strike against it.

I wasn\'t a big fan of THPS.

Dare I even say I think there a bit overrated but I can still see why a lot of people love the games.

Your overrated....No just kidding man....

They might be a HINT overrated..Not as overrated as the Xbox......which is WAYYYYYY overrated..it has more  hype then the PS2 ever did.

I think all consoles are overrated in the beginning of its life. But yeah the Xbox is one  big piece of hype that we are yet to see it live up too.


I guess the reason I say THPS is a bit overrated is maybe cause I was never ever into skateboarding. Well...I was into it for a week but at the end of that week I had 17 stitches in my lower jaw. Since then I haven\'t into it too much

oh it hurt...lesson for all beginners, no matter how much you tell yourself you are NOT BOB BURNQUIST!!

But although when I rent the THPS games with friends I love playing them, I just don\'t think they would fit well with me if I were to buy em.

Post by: Sublimesjg on March 17, 2001, 09:01:05 PM
well the second one is the one that got me hooked to the series and yes the games are not all that

but they do give me endless amounts of fun - everytime i picl it up and play friends i have fun it is just too cool

i can\'t wait for 3 and i hope it plays as good as the others

another thing that turned me off of the series was OPM

I like OPM, I think they have a decent mag and I like em.

I was pissed when I read that they said
"We were debating on weather or not it was the best PSX game ever"

give me a break...

yea thats where i think it is overrated too much

people consider it the best game ever when to me there really isn\'t much of a purpose to the game but score high pionts

i mean to consider this game to be as great as say FFIX or MGS or something around that line is ridiculous - but it is a really cool game though
Title: Tony Hawk 3: Who\'s buying it?
Post by: Terry Bogard on March 18, 2001, 05:32:09 AM
I highly agree..the game might be overrated..and there is way more to it then score high points...you have to pull of certain tasks to earn tapes in the first one...in the second you you perform certain tasks for cash...Spider man is in the game....

Let me tell you why THPS/2 are sometimes called the best games on the PSX.

- These games have great graphics.

- They have awesome gameplay

- The soundtracks are probably some of the best ever.(Something for everyone)

- And they have incredible replay value.

Some of your favorite games may match some of those categories, but not all. Which is why they rate THPS so highly. Plus any schmoe of the street can just pick up THPS and enjoy himself. The same can not be said for MGS and FF.

Title: THPS2 made me buy a PS2
Post by: on March 19, 2001, 10:02:35 AM
I have to say the THPS2 made the decision for me to enter console gaming and purchase a PS2!!!

One day last year while cruising through Fry\'s electronics I came a across a PSOne demo with THPS2. Being an old school skateboarder I gave it a try, WOW I was instantly hooked. I decided then and there I wanted a console. So I started researching and learned of the PS2 launch on Oct. 26. Well I finally got my PS2 last month (slim supply in silicon valley), and now my my question for all of you THPS fans is...

is it worth it to buy THPS2 now and still get THPS3? Or will I not want to play THPS2 when THPS3 comes out?
Title: Tony Hawk 3: Who\'s buying it?
Post by: StAnZo on March 19, 2001, 10:43:22 AM
JDY, i played both and i thought that they were the buisness. Honestly, if you can look through the pixelated
graphics there is one hell of a challenge in both games. I will say that both games are thoroughly playable and
i totally enjoyed both. go out and pick \'em up, even cheaper if you can find them 2nd hand. also, dont forget
that the PS2 will smooth out the pixels a little bit.

I have Tony Hawk 1 but my nephew has part 2:D.  I loved the soundtrack in the first one.  Expecially "Superman" I love that song.  I downloaded just so I can listen to it everyday then I just bought the CD.  Can\'t wait for  THPS3.

Yeah, the soundtrack is awesome...
Title: Best PSX Game Ever
Post by: Jeff on March 21, 2001, 10:06:34 PM
Its true this is the best PSX Game Ever. Final Fantasy IX was pure crap, and talk about overrated! *cough* Metal Gear Solid *cough*. THPS2 is the most addicting game ever, with the sole exception of Phantasy Star Online.

We all have opinions. I thought MGS wasn\'t fun in the least, and I thought FFIX was repetitious(sp?) and predictable. Keep in mind I finished them both, and never played them again. THPS2 I play 2 hours every day since the DC version was released, and ended up buying the PSX version for when I went to my mom\'s house (she only has a PSX).

yes we do have opinions, and lots of games aren;t designed to be played a billion times like MGS which is a masterpiece, and FFIX which is an RPG\'s nut and story lovers game

SSX rocks the house as does THPS, which can arguably be called the best PSX game.

But to be sarcastic and implying that MGS and FFIX we\'re sucky is just ludicrous cause thats far from the truth

MGS was fun..i enjoyed it every last bit...and as for THPS..the game is still the bomb diggity..i play it more then i do my PS2 games...Thats bad..:D

Damn, after reading all this I am buying both THPS1 & 2. Who cares if I end up with all 3, sounds like the first 2 are fun. I have no problems with playing more PSX games than PS2 games on my PS2. After all the main reason I got this console instead of the others is because of the DVD capabilities.


As far as THPS, the majority of PS gamers can\'t all be wrong.

Tony Hawk 1 is on the Greatest Hits collection so it will only cost you a 20 dolla bill..Which is worth it...every dollar of that twenty is worth spending for Tony Hawk 1...and Tony hawk 2 i think is still near the damn price it was when i bought it on the first day......ENJOY:D
