    The game received favorable reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[4] Nearly six months after the game's release, however, Daniel Erickson of NextGen said, "If you've already played out Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, go pick up Street Sk8er 2. At least that plays differently."[13]

    The game was a runner-up for GameSpot's annual "Best Game Music" and "Best Sports Game (Alternative)" awards among console games, both of which went to Chrono Cross and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.[15][16] It was also a runner-up for the "Best Extreme Sports Game" award at the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine 2000 Editors' Awards, which went to SSX.[17]

    Notes

    [edit]
    1. ^ Three critics of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the game each a score of 6/10, 5.5/10, and 5/10.
