Tony Hawk Underground (Platinum) for PlayStation 2

Pros: Fun, controls are rock solid, a lot of new ideas
Cons: Soundtrack, easy, obsessive advertising

I’ve been a fan of the Tony Hawk games ever since I played the first one way back in ’99. What made the games so good was that there was a huge selection of tricks to perform and mold them into combos, which was fun and totally bada*s back in the day. Fou ...

Pros: Tried and true gameplay, lots of customization options
Cons: Not a huge improvement over THPS 4, control is iffy for non-skateboarding elements

It’s kind of funny, when you think about it, that one of the newest icons in the video gaming pantheon isn’t a character created specifically for video games, like Mario or Sonic or Mega Man, but skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. Since the first Tony Hawk’ ...

Pros: customization, online components, levels, story-mode
Cons: the controls off the board, same old tony hawk stuff

Tony Hawk’s Underground (THUG) is Neversoft’s latest endeavor at skateboarding nirvana. What sets THUG apart from its previous incarnations is the new story mode. You start off with an average Joe-skater that just wants to make a name for himself ...

Pros: Story mode, graphics, replay value, final video, overall gameplay
Cons: slighty unrealistic, but that's it

I can't really say I'm a huge Tony Hawk game follower, but I have played a few of the Pro Skater games over at friends houses and always considered it to be a treat. I convinced my parents to let me buy Underground however, despite it's T rating, because ...

Pros: It's an adventure!
Cons: Eric ruins the game and makes you forget the story.

After hearing raves on this game for 6 months, I finally decided to play it. I checked the local video store and every copy was out, so I thought to myself: "This must be a great game if everyone is still renting it!" I went out and bought it. When I ...

Pros: Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek... oh wait, you mean good things... nevermind...
Cons: Not as "cool" to anyone who's played other games in the series

I remember back in 1999 when I first played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I was blown away! It was unique, it was fun, it was definitely one of the best games ever thought up! I instantly became a huge fan of the THPS (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater) ...

Pros: A great game with great graphics, 2 player games are awesome, great controls
Cons: a little to easy to beat. I beat it the day I bought it

Activision has come out with another great Tony Hawk Game. The great graphics and excellent soundtrack. This game has taken skateboarding to new heights with the new story mode. STORY MODE - With the new story mode, you can take a "nobody" ...

Pros: Graphics, sound, features
Cons: not much different from THPS4

Tony Hawk's Underground(a.k.a. T.H.U.G.)? Is it true? Can you really create a skater and use him in a Story Mode? Can you really create a trick? What about a deck graphic? YES! It's all true. Brand new features have entered the world of Tony Hawk video ...

Pros: Fun story missions, create a skater, skateboard and trick, addicting!
Cons: Not the best soundtrack, a little too easy, (but still fun!)

Of all the skating games I've ever played, Tony Hawk's Underground has got to be my favorite! For starters, you are not playing as a pro skater like in the past Tony Hawk games, (although you could in freeskate if you wanted to.) but you create your ...

Pros: graphics, story mode, create a skater,move,park and board option just plain AWESOME!
Cons: a bit difficult, need to update free skate mode.

I rented Tony Hawk's Underground at my local video store. I brought it home and played the free skate mode and did'nt find it that great, it was just like the previous TH games. But the free skate in T.H.U.G was a whole lot better because there were ...

Pros: Customize everything! Skate everywhere!
Cons: I don't like the main character's friend, Eric

Tony Hawk's Underground (THUG) is the best Tony Hawk Game in the series, possibly from the added story line. CONCEPT: Perform deeds for various people by skating or walking in order to activate story advances.. PLOT: The plot in this game is a ...

Pros: Create your own main character, graphics, story, voicing, gameplay, scenery, online compatable.
Cons: Walking controls, game is short, not as challenging.

Tony Hawk's Underground, the 5th installment in the highly popular skateboarding series, is meant to break new grounds. It gets YOU into the main story. It gets YOUR board along with it. This is YOUR journey to skateboarding fame. Sounds like a pretty ...

Pros: Massive number of features and good graphics.

Pros: A good storyline, get off/on your board, Create your own skater
Cons: Bad graphics, bad voice acting, poor camara control.

THE HISTORY OF IT ALL "Tony Hawk Pro Skater" is a franchise about skateboarding. They have 5 games out right now. The first game was all about skateboarding and doing different stuff on your skateboard to get further in the game. That was fun ...

Pros: Simple controls, very fun, and interesting new twist with the new story.
Cons: Hmm...cons? I guess there was a couple of glitches that bugged me.

I loved this game, it was a giant step up from THPS4 where you had to stay on your board and the levels were small... I loved in this game how you made a skater and followed a am skater story that was set out, in the last one you could make your own ...

Pros: Can get off board, different music, better stat control
Cons: Easy, levels are small, not enough levels

Like others have said, if you've played the other games in the series, this THUG game just doesn't blow me away. I paid $50 when it first came out last year, but if I could do it again, I would have waited till it was a lot cheaper. You would think ...

Pros: Fun levels, interesting settings, fun goals
Cons: Very easy, confusing "story" to things, not much has changed, walking mode is pointless

THUG is the abbreviation for Tony Hawk Underground, the 5th installment of the Tony Hawk Skater series for PS 2. This game is like TH 4 is many ways, so please read my review for that for some info on the interface. Anyway, here's how THUG works. You ...

Pros: OnlinePlay; Customizable; downloadables online; firefight; great premade characters; secret characters/levels; excellent story; superb game play/graphics/sound
Cons: almost none. sometimes online is laggy although not to often.

This game is great. Id recommend it any Tony Hawk(or other skateboarding) video game lover. Its extremely customizable. You can make your own character, own level, own goals, own tricks, its your game. You can even download you face onto your character. ...

Pros: A new concept for the game that was a new concept.
Cons: Some of the goals seem impossible!

Tony Hawk's Underground is nice I'll admit. I do however have some qualms about it. The graphics are nice but come on, we're dealing with PS2, "The Cube", and the Xbox. So they can push it a little more. Facial expressions would be nice. The goals are a little frustrating, but the rewards you reap more than make up for it. The cutscenes are funny!! The things that Eric did to "me" made me think I was watching a soap opera! The profanity is deplorable! I've heard the "s" frequently. Quite frankly, this could be Grand Theft Auto on skateboards. The selection of music is frickin' huge! I'm rating "The Cube" version. Anyway, I like it. Could've been more though. I'm still holding on to that. It would've been cool if it were a double disc: the main game on disc one and some "extra stuff" on disc two. All in all, this franchise seems to be one of the most consistent alongside Mario Bros., Metroid, Madden and Zelda games. True, I have a few qualms but OTHER COMPANIES NEED TO TAKE NOTE HOW TO PUT TOGETHER A GAME LIKE ACTIVISION/ NEVERSOFT.

Pros: great graphics, bonus videos, and modes
Cons: need online capability to download face

Yes, again Tony Hawk along with Neversoft and Activision has created yet again, one of the best games ever made! In this game, you are no longer held back by having to play with pros or created skaters that have no resemblence to you, with the PS2 network adaptor ( available at your local video game retailer) you can actually download your face to the game and skate as yourself. There is also a new multi-player game firefight! its great you actually shoot your opponent with fire balls when you do a flip trick. Story mode is awesome you work your way to pro rank by things you would do in real life. I skateboard in real life so i know and i can truthfully say this is one of the most realistic games out there! enjoy!~

Pros: missions,characters,creating missions,goals,people.
Cons: music,and wish there was a little more levels

This is probualy the best game ever it is really sweet,you can create missions,neiborhoods,goals,boards,and add your face into the game.It is a great game great story and great everything else must buy

Pros: More characters like Bam and special Mega man
Cons: Game is just too short

New Tony Hawk's Underground is suppose to be the best skateboarding game ever. Lets face it, it is. Great graphics, lot of fun creating a player but really its not much difference from the other 4 Pro Skater games. The story mode is creative and its more fun completing goals and cities than getting stupid tapes. The game is pretty good but lets face it is one of those games that is way too short to enjoy, even with the bonus levels. The kiss level is pretty awesome, driving atv's but even driving won't make up for the things this game lacks. Its bad in reality cause you pass the legend Tony Hawk in experience and just make him look plain sorry. Plain summed up its fun but really sucks. Its sad that its still the best skateboarding game. Trust me just rent it, don't buy it.

Pros: It was a fun game.
Cons: Too easy to beat.

I bought this game today and i already beat the story mode (career) . It was a really good game but i dont think it was worth the $50 i slapped down for it.
