Capitalizing on Bam was a bad idea.

I have owned every single Tony Hawk game, and played each one a ton. I thought the THPS's were great, but after beating THUG on easy and normal, my opinion was that it was the best so far. I loved the level of customization. So when THUG2 rolled around I was excited. After playing through easy modes on classic and story, I was dissapointed. "World Destruction Tour"? Destruction of the series, that is.

In story mode, Bam is the main focal point. Goals consist of exploding/vandalizing/breaking buildings/cars/people, a la Viva la Bam. Tony seems like a supporting character in a role he doesn't belong in. Also, advancing yourself up to a pro level and your friend stealing your glory in THUG made a true enemy in Eric. But there's no drive to complete your goals besides destruction in 2.

Also, there's no vehicle option, as in THUG. Instead, there are 3 extra characters for each level, and one has some sort of mobile device besides a skateboard. These characters are difficult to control, and the goals are annoying. The option of a car was way better.

One of the few good points in THUG2 was the level of customation. It had all THUG had and more. I actually had fun creating a graphic, and the create a trick is just as good as THUGs.

This game was the worst in the series HANDS-DOWN. I would take THPS1 over this any day. I have not yet played THAW, but I've heard it was bad. I can only hope Project 8 will redeem the series.

i loved this game!!!! I thought the secret charactors were cool!!!! i thought everything was cool but 1 thing. I beat it in 1 week and 1 day but i still play it because i unlocked all those characters. overall id say 4.5 but i put 4 because there is no 4.5. Id recomend this game and 1 other thing it should be 40 dollars instead of 30 becuase its pretty cool

This game is fun, and it held my intrest for quite a while, which is surprising because I'm not very fond of video games.
I really enjoyed the humor of this game.

In story mode and you like to play your skater person and you have to do the pro stuff for goals just swich to the pro and then swich back to your skater and try complet there goal i have been doing that alot in this game... and one thing about this game is you don't have to complet the goals in the same order on there list just find one you think you can complet.... thats what i have been doing. and so far i have been moving up... since i am a teen i have been sick of those games that you have to do stuff a current thing to get to the next level which is so lame and tiring .. so this always is a AWESOME game and a have fun the way you want to.

This overall is a very good game. I would recommend it to those who like skate boarding and some humor. The only bad part is the game is to short. I can beat Story Mode in 2 hours which makes it sort of dissapointing. I hope my review helped you

Here's the Scoop

I own 4 of the Tony Hawk games. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, and Tony Hawk's Underground 2. I would have to say, this is surely the ugliest of the bunch, with many more rough goals and strange humor. The kid in the wheelchair is disturbing, the goals are sometimes a little off the wall, and the skaters will go to any means for a good practical joke. On the other hand, the gameplay is simply addictive, as I seem to get stuck playing it for up to 4 hours at a time.

So I guess if you are 15 or over, and enjoy the Tony Hawk games, this is a no brainer. It's just plain, excellent gameplay, and that's all there is to it.

All in all, this game is a positive playing experience, every bit as good as the Pro Skater series!
