Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was a storming improvement over its already-terrific predecessor, and after skating your way through the sequel's terrific opening Hangar level, you're rewarded with arguably the greatest level in the entire series - School II.

A sequel to the original game's own School level, School II was an undeniable feat of wish fulfilment for any kid who wanted to cause chaos by skating around their own educational institute - that sort of thing being frowned upon by headteachers and all.

From a design perspective, the school provides so many organic opportunities for players to pull off awesome tricks, while also proving considerably larger and more feature-filled than its (admittedly great) predecessor.

Try as the franchise did to top School II in future games, it remains the definitive iteration, and hopefully the upcoming remaster of the first two games will do it full justice.
