@ Neversoft
Aside from being a superbly tuned game, it also captured a moment and helped document a real-world scene. Skateboarding had been an underground influence on popular culture for a long time but it was now establishing itself as a true industry, through a game. With the many tricks, challenges and achievements available, the game solidified itself as one of the best Dreamcast games.
We all wanted to be skateboarders back in the day, and THPS2 made our wish come true.
Because, let’s be honest, most of us sucked on the board in real-life.
There is no doubt that the Sega Dreamcast console was able to leave an unforgettable mark in the video game history. For this reason – even with the passing of the years – its games are remembered with love, nostalgia and the desire to play them again by users of all generations.
