Tony Hawk Underground (Platinum) for PlayStation 2

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.
