Remember 1998 when everyone at school used to walk the other way the second they saw you because you had a few patches on your backpack and were the weird kid that listened to strange music while everyone else was busy blasting Usher non-stop? Then two years later you were confused when the dip$h!t jock came to school decked out in grey and orange Etnies gear proclaiming his love for Bad Religion like he was doing you a favor by letting you in on his eclectic music taste. If so, that's weird, because I just made this story up.

The Definitive Version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 is the XBOX “2X” release. While there are many releases of the game, and you will definitely enjoy playing any of them, this version offers many updates that make it the best overall experience. While it is not perfect, and has some UI issues, this “2X” release includes redesigned menus, female skaters for the first time, a balance meter, five new levels, four-player and LAN compatibility in multiplayer mode, and improved graphics from the Dreamcast and PC versions. You will also notice more detail in textures, such as grass. Again, you can’t go wrong with any of the many releases of this classic, but you will appreciate the differences in this Definitive Version.
