The first Tony Hawk title was revolutionary, but something magical happened with the second game. First, the soundtrack was much better. I know that taste in music is a subjective thing, but if you think the soundtrack to Tony Hawk 2 is bad... you're wrong. I can't hear a single one of those songs without twitching and reaching for a controller. The addition of the manual meant that tricks didn't need to end just because you had to get to another area on the level. It felt like you could go forever.
