So as long as you've asked me, yes, you can put it up on your site. The sites above are the ones that don't have to ask to use them. Tony Hawk 2 is copyright Neversoft 1999/00. Please do not leech any of this to make your own FAQ out of it. Unless you have MY permission DO NOT take anything at all from this guide. Don't edit, don't do anything to it and submit it without e-mailing me with permission first. You can print it out, but only for personal use, no selling this! Summing it up, do anything for your own personal benefit (apart from reading it) without asking me, AND YOU'LL BURN IN HELL!!!!! ---====================--- To get in touch, e-mail me at dc3131@yahoo.com.au My ICQ# is 34601221 My webpage is http://www.dcmagus.com My MSN contact is dcmagus@hotmail.com, but any email sent to that address will most likely be ignored, as I don't check that account My AIM name is dcmagus Be warned that I'm only on the net twice a week, don't expect replies from me which are ten minutes after you've sent the mail. Here's some guidelines about sending me mail: 1.Make sure you put the title of the game you're asking about in the subject. I've made a fair few FAQs, and it's a bit hard to work things out sometimes. 2.If it's an FAQ, make sure that it's not already in the guide!!! If it is, I'll do my best to ignore it. If it's not in there, make sure that the details you provide are, well, DETAILED, and not sketchy. Examples are "Hi need to know how to get past this part, i'm in a room and stuck", I need to know where you are, etc. 3.Ask nicely. So far, most people have, but if your mail goes along the lines of "Hi, need code for B2, reply within the next hour otherwise I'll bomb you" will not get you anywhere. That's it. Sorry for being a pain, but it had to be said. ---====================--- Revision History: v1.1-Changed the guide to a PC-PSX differences guide. v1.11-Name change! -------- Contents -------- 1)Introduction 2)Controls 3)New Parks 4)Cheats )Acknowledgements --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1)Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------- There are a few changes in the PC version of THPS2. So this lists most of the changes; the ones that I have found out about anyway =) So for a full gap checklist and walkthrough etc., just check out my THPS2 guide for the PSX. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2)Controls --------------------------------------------------------------------- You can set these yourself by going to options and controls. I'm using the default controls here. ----- D-Pad ----- Doesn't really need explaining. But down slows you down. ----- Space ----- Ollie : Press space to ollie. If you hold down space, you'll crouch, and when you let go, you'll ollie. The longer you hold down space, the higher you will ollie. Nollie: Hit Num 1 and press Space. It's an ollie that gives you points. Manual: New to Tony Hawk 2 is the manual. Press Up, Down to do a normal manual, or Down, Up to do a nose manual (I think that's what it's called), but only when both of your wheels are on solid ground. Manuals are extremely useful as you can now chain a whole stack of moves together (e.g manual to kickflip to grind to kickflip to grind to manual again). No Comply: For those who have played Tony Hawk, this is a nollie. Press Up, then Space. Or you can hold Space, tap up, and let go of Space. Boneless: For those who have played Tony Hawk, this is a Fastplant. Press Up, then Up + Space. Or you can hold Space, tap up twice, and let go of Space. Big Drop: Whenever you get the message "Big Drop", press Space just as you hit the ground to prevent yourself from bailing. - V - Grind : When near a rail, curb, edge, or whenever you're near something you can grind, hold V to grind it. You can also hold a directional button and press V to perform different tricks. The longer you grind, the weaker your balance gets. You'll notice your skater swaying from side to side, so balance him/her by using the Left and Right directional buttons. You'll need practice to get your balance right. Grinds Up + V : FS Nosegrind Up/Right + V : FS Crooked \ The position of your board Up/Right + V : FS Overcrook / (normal or switch) depends on which one is peformed Right + V : FS Tailslide \ The position of your board Right + V : FS Noseslide / (normal or switch) depends on which one is peformed Down/Right + V : BS Feeble \ The position of your board Down/Right + V : BS Smith / (normal or switch) depends on which one is peformed Down + V : FS 5-0 Down/Left + V : BS Feeble \ The position of your board Down/Left + V : BS Smith / (normal or switch) depends on which one is peformed Left + V : FS Tailslide \ The position of your board Left + V : FS Noseslide / (normal or switch) depends on which one is peformed Up/Left + V : FS Crooked \ The position of your board Up/Left + V : FS Overcrook / (normal or switch) depends on which one is peformed Up, Up + V : FS Bluntside Down, Down + V : FS Nosebluntside V : FS 50-50 V (at 90 degrees : FS Boardslide to the object) V (at 180 degrees : FS Lipside to the object) Lip Trick: When ever you come up near a lip of any vert object, if you hold V and a directional button, your skater will perform a lip trick, which is where the skater will pause on the lip, performing a handstand, or something fancy. Just don't hold too long, otherwise you'll just end up falling off. Wallride : When near a wall, and when you're airborne, hit V to perform a wallride. You have to be parallel to the wall (or close to parallel) - C - Flip Trick : When you hold a directional button and tap C, you will perform a flip trick. What's a flip? Where the skater will momentarily take his feet off the board perform some fancy trick, then land on the board again. The skaters most likely to use flip tricks are street skaters, as they are quick, but they don't give you as many points as you would get from a grab trick. I recommend using Flip Tricks only when on the street, to add some extra points to those grinds, in between manuals, and the like. You shouldn't waste Flip Tricks when you're on the halfpipes. - B - Grab Trick : When you hold a directional button and tap B, you will perform a grab trick. What's a grab? Where the skater will grab onto his board, and the longer he can keep up in the air whilst holding their board, the more points they will score. This is really suited to vert skaters, and you'd be a little wacky to think of using it on anything/anywhere else other than when you've got tons of air. This is great for vert ramps, halfpipes, and when you're falling from high surfaces (e.g the school roofs, the train tracks, and the insanely high half and quarterpipes in Ventura). -------- Numpad 7 -------- Spin : Helpful when doing tricks, hold this to spin. Be careful, overspin and you'll end up bailing. -------- Numpad 1 -------- Nollie/Fakie : Basically an ollie that gives you points. -------- Numpad 9 -------- Spin : Helpful when doing tricks, hold this to spin. Be careful, overspin and you'll end up bailing. -------- Numpad 3 -------- Switch : Switch stances. Check the stance of your skater. If you're on switch (the opposite to his/her preffered stance), you'll get more points, but stability is a problem. ------------- Miscallaneous ------------- Quick Recovery: When you've just bailed, mash the keypad to get up faster. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3)New Parks --------------------------------------------------------------------- It really should be called Old parks, as they're from THPS1. To unlock them, get gold medals in the competition events, and these will be unlocked in modes other than Career Mode. ===================================================================== Downhill Jam, Pheonix AZ ===================================================================== Gaps ----------------------------------- Huge Water Hazard Gap : 1000 Points ----------------------------------- Skate down from the start of the level, and you'll soon see two rails that are hanging over a river.
