An expanded game of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x was designed to take full advantage of the technical capabilities of Xbox. The game features the franchise's signature gameplay, intuitive controls, all of the levels from both Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, in addition to more populated environments, brand new levels, realistic special effects and smoother lifelike animations. The inclusion of system link gameplay brings the skateboarding experience to life.

Ultimately an interesting title that has the levels from THPS 2 and THPS 1 but with 3 levels that treyarch created. The physics feel very different from other THPS games made by neversoft but not nearly as bad as some other titles in the series(THPS HD comes to mind) The levels from 2 and 1 are carbon copies even down to the goals, which is a bit awkward in the THPS1 levels when the score goals can be done in 1 jump because of the increased amount of points you get.
The levels made by treyarch are awful, probably the worst level design in the Tony Hawk series, except for the tampa competition level which made its way to Tony Hawk's Underground. There are no good lines in either club london or construction site to get the points required, and each of the goals is not set up the way a neversoft title would be.
Still a fun game that I might replay, and Im sure it was cool at the time to have a title on the OG XBOX, but certainly not like the masterpieces of THPS1-4.

Having played a lot of the later TH games both from childhood and as of recent, the controls definitely felt stiff in comparison but still plenty manageable. There isn't really much I can say about this one, it's basically an early remaster of THPS 1 + 2 with some updated mechanics and it has a few original levels that don't really bring much to the table. It's a good bit of fun, nothing too time consuming, and a good ass soundtrack to skate to.
