    4 Stars Underground, Overground, Skateboarding Free* Review with images 30/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages variety of missions, familiar elements

    Disadvantages Disadvantages limited lifespan, complicated trick system for a new player

    The series of Tony Hawk endorsed games is a phenomenon. Even the least extreme sport orientated game players usually own a copy of at least one of them. They really took off when they transferred to the PS2 with the third in the series. I don’t think I was the only person, however, to wonder where they could possibly go from here. Every time they brought out a new game, they added a new facet, but it was basically the same game, just new challenges, slightly different Pro Skaters, and a limited lifespan. When they announced that the fifth Tony Hawk game wouldn’t be called Pro Skater, and would ... more

    5 Stars Tony Hawk's Underground- A Classic in my opinion. Review with images 18/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Storyline, very good soundtrack, fun to play

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bad graphics.

    In my opinion this game is a classic. I would spend hours apon hours playing this game when i was younger and play it every now and then still today.StorylineThe storyline is very good. The storyline starts off with you and your best friend Eric who live in a dump of a town and just want a shot at being somebody in the world of skateboarding. As the story progresses Eric betrays you. As you both rise to the top it ends with a final PRIVATE faceoff to see who really is the best skateboarder. Gameplay Story mode, The story mode in this game is the storyline i decribed before with many fun and ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some parts are quite difficult

    ## '' You Own The Underground '' ## ## This Time its your journey!, Break the rules, beat the odds Become a star!!! ## ##storyline## The difference with this game compared to all the other tony hawks games is the fact that there is a storyline which you have to follow in order to complete the game, rather than just going through several different levels as the other tony hawks did.You also have the ability to interact more with the environment- such as getting off your skateboard and running and climbing, and also the ability to drive some cars on certain missions.

    5 Stars Don't be a MUG get: THUG! 27/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages RUN around!! Create a trick!! Design a deck!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bit gimmicky :(

    THUG is another addition to the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series. It’s a great installment, but rather a lot like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. All the great features are back plus a whole host more, including create a trick, WALKING! design your own board! and whole host of new tricks. The main difference with this and the other games is that instead of starting out as a Pro, in this one you start out as a rookie and have to gain your way up the ranks and win all the major skate competitions to become the best skater in the world. The whole drawing point to Tony Hawk games are the fact it’s so ... more

    5 Stars Tony Hawks Underground (THUG) - A classic game 11/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of new features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages frustrating sometimes, like all games

    The first thing to say about this game is how different it is from the others in the series, hence the new 'Underground' title. It is a really good game, and a worthy purchase, not only for Tony Hawks fans. I strongly recommend you buy this game, firstly as it can be found for cheap. and secondly because it is probably the best in the series. New Features: You can now get off your board, run to another obstacle, jump back on your baord, and then carry on your combo. Obviously there a new, more detailed and essentially larger levels. Another new feature is the getting your face in the game ... more

    5 Stars Has Tony got it right again?...i think SO! 18/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant all round skating game! Story mode 2nd to none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some moves get unrealistic.

    -----------------------------Intro------​------------------------- Well now, what can I say? This is quite possibly the best skateboarding game i've ever played...and i’ve played a few! Tony Hawk's Underground (THUG) is the sequel to the massive hit THPS4 so expectations were high which I felt were met superbly. ------------------------Story mode--------------------------- The Story You start off as an unknown skater in a little New Jersey town. You skate around, and your name starts to get around...and obviously...competitions arise...sponsors start talking about you...and before you know it ... more

    5 Stars Now it's your name on the box. 03/10/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Freeform play. Explore huge areas like in a adventure game.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nothing really.

    So your boards ready, everybody’s watching, your going to attempt a 540 flip over one building to the other ... HA, you wish. Chances are you couldn’t do it, you're probably not good enough but don’t worry, thats what games are for. With this game, you can attempt anything without the worry of falling over and breaking your neck. That's right, you can do it in the comfort of your own home. With Tony Hawk Underground, you can make a nobody into a superstar, because in storymode you will be able to create your own skater and follow in through the story. With pros, friends and passers by to set ... more

    4 Stars Underground, but overly enjoyable. 12/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ability To Dismount Board. Career mode has a story behind it!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Driving modes need work. Off-board physics are unrealistic.

    After THPS3, the games were going stale, THPS4 added a new way of playing the carreer mode, but something else was needed, and that's where THUG came in. The main menu screen has plenty of things to look at, but Story mode is the one with the most to it. The story mode in THUG is the best in any Tony Hawk's game to date without a doubt. After creating your skater to suit your preferences in appearance and skating style (but that doesn't make a very large difference) the story begins. You start as a local skater and try to ascend to the pro level. Also, you can now create female skaters who do ... more

    4 Stars Tony hawks underground 16/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages New Tony Hawks game out dropping THUG in price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can become anoying at time due to lack of level desciption.

    Tony hawks underground is a great skating game and tops all previous tony hawk games. there are several new fetures like being able to get of the board and walk, several new tricks, create the player to look like you and your own board desighn. One of the best parts to this game is that you can explore whever you want without a time limit on all of the levels just free skating until you want to do a mission to get to the next part of the map. I love the fact you can run around in this game, and drive other vehicles like cars and other veichles including a grass cutter! Also you can pull of ... more
