Summary
Unlike the Pro Skater games for Game Boy Color, the first Pro Skater for Game Boy Advance attempts to recreate the same level designs found in the big-screen version. From the Hangar's halfpipes to New York City's huge gaps, you'll be tearing it up through 3D environments filled with special items to collect and objectives to complete. [Nintendo]

It brings everything from the Playstation HAWK 2 and crams it onto Nintendo’s portable.

One of the best Advance games at launch...But you’d better be in for a learning curve – although a small one.

There is one big factor of the game that I don't like, it's too easy! It took me an hour and a half for me to beat the game and 4 to beat every task, BUT it has excellent replay value.

The GBA option captures the spirit of the game so much, even hardcore fans should want it as an alternative for when the TV or PC is occupied or when they're on the go.

A technical marvel, providing the first true polygonal game on the system -- and it's only the system's first year out of the gate!

If every game that graces the GBA were as good as Tony Hawk 2, then the world would be a better place. There would be no war, crime, or violence because everybody would be too busy playing Game Boy.

It manages to translate all of the elements you loved from previous versions into one compact package that will allow you to master new skills on the move.

Even with the dark-screen frustrations and camera hurdles, Tony Hawk 2 is, without a doubt, the best interpretation of skateboarding ever created for a portable game system.

This particular port has been remade almost from scratch and gives a new lease on life to a franchise that was wading in stagnation.

A perfect example of how it SHOULD be done... somehow the full size game has been crammed into the impossibly tiny (they are small aren't they? geez!) GBA cart.

There are only so many games where when you see a screenshot you think ohmygod!. THis (along with Doom 3) is one of those games.

I don't own it but I've played it at my friends and it is more fun than any other GBA game. It may be a PC copy, but it is on a Game Boy. Give it a break.
Kealoha gave it an 8:

Robin O. gave it a 7:
Worth it, but the original for PSX is alot better then this. The isometric view is interesting but disturbs gameplay.
