Title: Hands-on: Tony Hawk\'s Pro Skater 2X (Xbox)

impressions from http://www.gaming-age.com

Brief: Now here\'s what we want to see. Hawk flying on Xbox!

Tony Hawk\'s Pro Skater 2X is on display at the Microsoft booth at E3 and it looks and plays great. The frame rate hovers a little below the 60 frames area, but gives a great sensation of speed that\'s only eclipsed by THPS 3. THPS 2\'s update to Xbox takes advantage of the more powerful hardware with better textures, animation, and frame rate. A highlight in the effects department is an area where the skater skates over a bunch of tiles and has them illuminating as he glides over each one.
THPS 2X control is dead-on and very easy to pick up - a standard that the franchise seems to set on every platform. The same sky-soaring tricks can be done just as easily on the Xbox controller as they have in previous games.

THPS 2X is one of the strongest titles on Xbox. Look for it this Fall.

 
One Xbox game to look out for,better add this to my xbox games to buy,my first game!

Bah. No thanks I\'ll pass. Personally I\'d rather get the GBA version, and wait for THPS 3.

why the hell are they releasing this game on XBox? its been on SO many consoles even PC!!! There probably isnt one person in the world who hasent played this game. I\'d rather buy a PSone and get THPS2 for $200 cheaper then buying an XBox and a updated version. Makes no sense...............
