Every Map In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 Ranked

With so many great skating games released in the early 2000s, none of them held a candle to the greatest skateboarding video game series of all time, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. At the back end last year, Vicarious Visions completely rebuilt the first two games and released them as one package with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2.

One thing that the second game expanded on over the first was the vastness of the levels, and they are yet even more detailed than before. The remake was made with so much care, it looks beautiful, and there are more secrets than in the originals. There isn’t a single bad map in the entire game, but some are better than others.

10 Chopper Drop

Chopper Drop is the first of two unlockable maps that players can attain once they complete the second game, but it can hardly be called a map. The player falls from a helicopter and onto a giant halfpipe in the middle of the sea. It’s a fun unlockable extra; the location of the ramp is fascinating, and the size of the ramps make from some huge air times. However, after a couple of minutes of messing around, there isn’t much else to see, but it’s the safest map to pull a 900.

9 Skatestreet

There’s a reason Skatestreet is used for the tutorial at the beginning of the remake. There isn’t much to Skatestreet, as it’s simply an indoor skatepark with a couple of small outdoor areas. It’s open, there’s plenty of space, and there are some good combos to be made. However, besides a couple of ramps and upturned picnic tables, there isn’t much to see here. And though the Pro Skater series would make a great competitive sports movie due to the competitions, Skatestreet is arguably the easiest competition level out of the entire remake.

8 Skate Heaven

After players complete Pro Skater 2 100%, they are rewarded with Skate Heaven, one final map the game has to offer. Similar to Roswell, which was the unlockable map upon completing Pro Skater 1, the map is way more absurd than the more grounded in reality maps of the actual game.

It’s the most beautiful map in the whole remake, as all the rails are neon-lit and there’s some fun, weird multi-dimensional stuff going on too. It also features the hard-to-perfect bench gap that can get players more points than any other gap in the game. However, it can get irritating, as it’s essentially set in space and it’s way too easy to fall off the edge.

7 Hangar

The Hangar is the first level in Pro Skater 2, and the first of many iconic maps to come. It’s essentially an updated version of Warehouse from the first game, but it has an added secret room and a helicopter that takes off after players grind on the propellor.

It’s also the level that has been overhauled the most in the remake since it was first seen in Pro Skater 2. Like Skatepark in Pro Skater 1, there are nods to Neversoft and the old Tony Hawk games. There are huge banners of all the old games, and not just the Pro Skater entries, but the Underground series and American Wasteland too.

6 Marseille

For Pro Skater 2, it was as if Neversoft realized they needed to up their game when it came to the competition levels. Marseille is the first competition map of the game, and just like the other comps in the series, it’s a skatepark, only this time it’s much bigger and out in open, sun-drenched France. And on top of that, there’s actually a creatively designed secret area, as players can only reach it by knocking down a tree.

5 Philadelphia

Philadelphia is the last map of the second game before the final competition level, and it goes out with a bang. There are huge set pieces and loads of gaps to perfect. There’s a whole hidden skatepark that players can unlock, and it’s so big that it could have been a level in itself. It’s amazing to think that this whole map was able to work without loading screens on the original PlayStation. The map also features its own version of the iconic LOVE sculpture, but instead, the letters are replaced with THPS.

4 Bullring

Skaters appearing in the Jackass movie series and the Jackass stars also featuring in later Tony Hawk games aren’t the only things the two series have in common. They both have a penchant for bulls too.

The biggest USP of Bullring is the fact that there is a giant bull that charges around the outside of the ring. It’s almost like a glimpse into the future, as that novelty was ramped up to 11 in Tony Hawk’s Underground 2, which even heavily featured the Jackass crew. But that isn’t the only reason why Bullring is so great, it’s the final competition level of Pro Skater 2 and by far the best, as it’s packed with enough for people who prefer either vert or street skating. It’s the best of both worlds.

3 NY City

What’s so great about NY City is that Neversoft didn’t actually use any of the many iconic monuments in New York to milk the location, but it still has a distinctive NY feeling. New York cabbies are screeching around every corner in yellow taxicabs, just trying to knock players down. It also features one of the very best hidden areas of the series, as players must grind down a ridiculously long train track, which will then take them to a whole mess of ramps and rails.

2 Venice Beach

Venice Beach is widely known as one of the greatest Pro Skater maps of all time, as it’s extremely faithful to the real-life location, but it also mixes that with the brilliant Arcade gameplay of the series. And on top of that, it’s exactly why Pro Skater deserved a remake above so many others, as the location is glistening.

The objectives are iconic too, whether it’s pulling an Ollie over the magic bum or hitting the VB transfers, it’s all ingrained in fans’ memories from 20+ years ago. However, Vicarious Visions have messed with the fans a little when it comes to Venice Beach, as players can’t obtain the secret tape the same way they could in the original, and it’s now much harder.

1 School II

School II is undoubtedly the best map not just in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 but in the entire series of over 10 proper console games. The map is enormous and there is so much attention to detail. It also features the best secret area, mostly because it’s so gratifying when players find it due to how hard it is to reach. And one of the best additions to the remake is that the security guard, who drives around the school has been replaced with a proper character, Officer Dick, who is hilariously portrayed by Jack Black.
