When i first started playing this game it was awesome, you've this friend that skates with you, just a "true" friendship, after a while you can see that this so called "friend" only wants to compete with you and well... you've to play the game 'cause i won't spoil it for you, but the thing is that it just like my life, just without the skateboard, careful kids there is people in real life like the so called friend in this game.
The game is simply awesome, great graphics, great music (as ever has been in any TH game), an incredibly rich and attracting story line, it's like you cannot stop playing this game when you start. The only thing is that after you finish the story mode, well, that's it, you can replay the game in sick mode and unlock another character, but the thing is that if like the TH series you have to play this game and to fully enjoy the TH underground 2 is good that you've beated this game so you can really enjoy the australian escenario.
You like TH games? this is it, another step on the ladder.
You've never played a Tony Hawk game before, this is a great starting point, 'cause you'll learn from zero and the story pushes you to go on. This game doesn't have the impossible tasks that has THPS 3 or 4 and it can take a while before you beat it if you aren't a master of the skateboard (Well there is no impossible task in these games after you've mastered your techniche, oh well, i found and impossible task to beat one or two guys that play over the net and make 6 to 8 million points in a trick attack game).
And of course you can play over the net without paying a monthly fee.
This Is the BEST Video Game I've Played thus far!

I LOVE T.H.U.G! It starts out when you are a lying skate rat, but later you turn superstar. If you like the T.H. franchise, you will love this game. You can get off your skateboard, chat with peds, make your own tricks, levels, decks and goals. It's your game. You have a pal named Eric. (Spoiler: He later becomes your enemy and there is a goal where you have to beat him.) The story campaign is fun. I beat the whole thing in a few days. You can also drive cars! I like the car in the New York level. You learn special tricks from pros like Muska and Mike V. Now I'll rate the levels.
New Jersey
This level is fun. The car makes THUG look a little like Ridge Racer, but that's a good thing. I like the Train Station the most. 3/5
New York
This level is is great! The car is thrashed but I like it. This level has some tight spots like the Brooklyn Banks and 78 Water St. 4/5
Tampa
This level is the most illegal of the lot. Complete with a strip club and a Police Car to jack. 3/5
San Diego
This level is plain. The gardener's kart is cool, but San Diego is the only level I do not like. :-( 2/5
Hawaii
I like the insane hotel jump and the old pickup. The scary tiki heads are pretty cool. 4/5
Vancouver, Canada
I like the limo you can drive. Also the hotel is pretty awesome. 4/5
Moscow
The Russian sedan is OK, and I like Saint Basil's but everthing else is a little plain. 2/5
Bonus Level: KISS Concert
I like the prked airplanes and the baja kart. This Level is cool. But I especially like the KISS concert. 4/5
Ok, if you liked my review, you will love Tony Hawk Underground. Bye!
Too glitchy

This game sucks!! Too many glitches in moon gravity and the game is too easy even in Sick mode!! And since when does Bam Margera have his hat on forever!!
And how can Eric trick all those people that he did the McTwist when your skater can be a female?!!
Overall not a bad game but needs improvement.
Awsome!!

Now maybe it's me, but I thought the graphics in the last of the series, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, were much better than the graphics for Tony Hawk Underground. There were a lot of glitches with the screen and many of the things you can do are made bad by the low-pixel graphics. The people are pretty badly-made compared to THPS4 and so are the automobiles.
The plot for this game is alright. It is pretty basic but they did a lot with it. There was one thing that annoyed me about the plot the whole time --Why are you helping everyone??? You play a punk skater!!! Why are you running or riding around looking to help people. Most of the goals didn't mae that much sense. Most of the goals were fun, though.
The game will be more or less fun if you're a skateboarder. There's two ways to look at it from that point of view. The first is, "Wow, this game is completely unrealistic! You can do 360s and sometimes 540s right on the sidewalk without a ramp." Or the second way would be, "Sweet! I could never do this stuff in real life! And look at all the cool obstacles!" I kind of had both of those in mind just so I could review it correctly.
The game isn't very challenging. It took me three days to beat and I probably played it two hours per day. I was playing it on Average or Medium the entire time, though. So if you want a real challenge, put it one Very Hard or Sick Mode. (I think that's what it's called.) A really good gamer would be done with this one in hours because there are really no dilemas other than trying to prove yourself as a skater.
The levels you play on are fantastic. The graphics are alright and the objects to grind and jump on are sweet. Some of the levels include Moscow (same Moscow used in Twisted Metal), New Jersey and the Secret level (my personal favorite), Hotter than Hell. It is a KISS stage where you can collect the letters K-I-S-S and the band will apear for you.
So altogether, the game is good. It is enjoyable enough to beat a couple of times. Everyone will have different complaints but in the end you will probably like it a little or a lot.

Do you like video games? What kind? If you said any thing about skateboarding this game is definitely for you.
First off I would say that the graphics are awesome. You can really tell one person from another person. The graphics make the game play a lot better because you can see how the tricks are different and the motions to the trick.
Next I would like to tell you about the newer storyline. The storyline is very sudden because you start off a nobody in your hometown of New Jersey with a broken down skateboard trying to get a local sponsorship. In the game you have to get the sponsorship to go to Tampa for a skateboarding competition. After the competition in Tampa you will get abundant offers from different teams. You have to choose one, it don't matter the storyline is the same with every team. You will work your way up until the big twist. I would tell you but that would most definably ruin the big surprise. Really in the long run the game is too easy. A beginner could beat this game with almost no trouble at all. If you like games that are hard you might not like this particular game.
Lastly the game has real life effect on the skateboard that you ride. After you grind the paint comes off of the bottom of the board and scratches appear. After almost all of the paint comes off and you wreck the board will sometimes break into two pieces. After the board breaks another one appears out of nowhere and the game continues.
If this game sound appealing to you go out rent this game. It's a great skateboarding game. I personally give this game a 4 stars out of 5.

A friend of my brother lent me tony hawk pro skater 2 and of course I had to go out and buy Tony Hawk Underground. I'ts a good game. It's really good cause you can create your own skater, like I've already made a pirate! The graphics are the best I've seen for PS2, It's very easy to skate around your city, which there are lots to chose from like New Jersey, San Diego... And the multiplayer is great, with lots of different games(I always beat my bro). It's really a game worth buying.
