How this ranking is built
  • Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
  • A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
  • Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
  • Release window covered: 2000.
  • 8 games are listed on this page, carrying 2,107 ratings between them.
  • Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 13 November 2026.

02 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 2000 · 422 ratings Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 redefined an already great game.

Anyone who has ever skated the Philadelphia level will agree -- this game is a masterpiece of level design. Hell, it's a masterpiece all around. There isn't a bad park or dull moment, just pure gaming nirvana! 91 /100
