Rating: - Good for its time
I acctully quite enjoyed this game when it first came out 9 years ago when I got it for Chritmas, I did beat it but I still perfer future Tony Hawk games more, It was fun to do all the skate tricks like grind jump off ramps, lip trick, etc. But you cant mannual.
Rating: - THIS GAME RULES! 8.5 OUT OF 10
Much like Halo, I never really had a divine interest in Tony Hawk games aside from maybe one or two from the franchise. This game is still lots of fun to play even since its release nearly a decade ago. Doing ludicrous and impossible stunts is still a lot of fun. There are still plenty of characters to play as, and there is still a ton of stuff to unlock that still makes this game worthwhile and it still has its endless replay value. I'm still unclear as to whether I want to buy a modern skateboarding game like Tony Hawk or perhaps rival skater Skate. Whatever I decide, this game is still a top notch title to play, even though there are control and camera issues during gameplay.

This, my friends, is quite simply the BEST sports game on the market. I hate them as a whole. I find them a boorish waste of time, but...
This game is the BOMB! I honestly don't remember a better gaming experience. Also, the multiplayer is GREAT!
If you have an N64, and love good games, this is for you.
I just bought a Gamecube, and am planning on purchasing the Tony Hawk Games for it.
Have fun!
Rating: - Great Game! Good Bargian!
I bought this game today and popped it into my Poke'mon edition N64. This game was very strange for a person who is use to Pro Skater 2. You have to use the C buttons to control it! IT'S INSANELY HARD TO GET USED TO!I'd say the contols suck,but I finnaly got used to them after about 15 minutes. The graphics are not as goo as I expected, but its what I get for a buck seventy four.I did find one very strange thing though, the title screen says the game is called "Tony Hawks's Skateboarding". Overall, I would say:
PROS:
More than Tony Hawk as a skateborder
interesting courses
very fun
CONS:
Cruddy graphics
funky controls
a trick named the sex change
-Sonic
Rating: - Good, but get the Playstation version instead
Extreme sports video games, up until the year 2000, were usually extremely lacking. The games often suffered from poor play control and graphics, and seemed rushed. But at long last, in the year 2000, Activision set out to correct all that had been done wrong previously with such titles. They went the extra mile to try to make the perfect skateboarding game. Did they succeed? Read on for my review of Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
PROS:
-UNLIKE A NUMBER OF EXTREME SPORTS TITLES, THIS ONE USES ACTUAL PEOPLE! As the title of the game may have implied, Tony Hawk is a playable character. In addition to Hawk, there are a number of other pro boarders selectable.
-THE GAME USES ACTUAL MUSIC BY ACTUAL BANDS! Most extreme sports titles feature lame, generic music that sounds like it would be better off elsewhere. In this game, that is NOT true. Bands like Goldfinger and Primus contributed music to this game, and their contributuions are one of the things that make this game so great. The other bands that contributed aren't as well known, but their songs are no less excellent.
-NO TWO CHARACTERS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE. Although every character plays in a similar fashion, each one has his or her own special moves. Likewise, what one character may lack in one area he may make up for in another, while with another character it may be vice versa.
-THERE ARE A NUMBER OF INTERESTING LOCATIONS. This game's settings are another great strength that it has. You'll go everywhere from an abandoned warehouse to an abandoned mall, and even a dam! There is no shortage of cool places to go in this games.
CONS:
-IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THIS VERSION OF THE GAME WOULD GET AN E RATING FROM THE ESRB, THE BLOOD AND MANY OF THE SONG LYRICS HAVE BEEN EDITED OUT. THAT is why I suggested in the subject bar that you get the Playstation version instead.
-CONTROLS TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO. If you've never played any game by Activision that uses this same game engine, expect to take some time adjusting to the controls. Once you get the hang of them, though, you'll end up liking them. And, of course, the N64 controller is godawful anyway, so it's even harder to adjust to the controls on this system.
-LATER ENTRIES IN THE SERIES WERE CONSIDERABLY BETTER. Although this was a good game, the later games were better, featuring more characters (and some even cooler secret ones), more secrets, and more music. Oh well, this game is still good.
-THE GAME GETS TOO HARD, TOO FAST. This game starts easy, but gets hard after a few short play sessions. Expect to blister your thumbs a lot, and often times accomplish nothing for it.
OVERALL:
Overall this is a very good game. Sure, it's overrated, but that's because it's a good game! If you want the best skateboarding games out there, the games in the Tony Hawk series are exactly what you're looking for.
