There are a few different single and two player modes in this game. This version might as well be called Xtreme Skater Attack 2000, or whatever. But I figure if I'm going to play a game with the THPS name emblazoned on it, it better be damned good. I wasn't expecting the same incredible play I found in the PS version. It also has a trick system but it's not near as intuitive as I was hoping. Yeah, it has a couple of modes, and all of the real pro skaters, but not much else. Unfortunately, that's all Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is when it comes down to it. And these days, games have to be more than just button-pressing mindlessness. When it comes down to it, you simply want a game you're playing to be fun, no matter what system it's on. Outside of the handheld restrictions, there's the issue of fun. Take Metal Gear Solid on the GBC for instance-it does the Metal Gear name justice. Sure, I understand there are certain technological limitations that prevent a game like THPS from being ported over intact, but I'd like to think there's some innovative way around (at least some of) these limitations.
I didn't, and I have a gut feeling any experienced gamer will feel the same way. Maybe kids who don't really play games much, or are just learning how to play, will enjoy the simplicity found in this title. Dumbing down big-name games from other systems to the Game Boy must be some sort of standard procedure with game companies.
