Be careful, I am almost positive I ordered the PS2 version and I received the Game Cube Version.

Good but there is better stuff

In this game you can play in classic or story modes. The story mode is entertaining at most and their is a glich in the my game so I can't do a wall flip when the french guy is trying to teach me. This is nly on the second level so. It also says you can ride BMX. This is true but the missions don't send you forward in the game, the just get you money. Not to mention it gets boring learning tricks you could learn by yourself. Bottom line is this game is entertaining but I'm sure there are better Tony Hawk games out there. I plan to try Tony Hawks underground 2 next.

My 11 year old played this game at a friend's house and saved up his money to purchase this game. He was protective of his little sisters and brother by picking this over some of the others. First, this one has girls in it, where other Tony Hawk games do not and he wanted his sister's to have an opportunity to make girl skaters when they are old enough to play. Also, you can turn off the blood that spurts out when people fall off their boards. It also does not contain the graffiti with profanity in the way that others do. We limit the play of this game though b/c we do have younger kids in the house. It seems to be the "cleanest" of the Tony Hawk games and my son loves to be able to make his own skate parks and test them.

This seller is a major jerk.

This game didnt arrive til almost new year!! It was supposed to be a christmas present for my son but oh well. When I contacted the seller about merely getting a tracking number for my package because it was getting close to Christmas and I was nervous that it hadn't arrived he informed me that he was too busy taking care of his many other customers to look up tracking numbers for me and that for my valuable purchase of under 20 bucks there would be many other merchants on Amazon happy to take my business. He did however have the time to send me over 5 emails bantering back and forth about my purchase and the tracking number calling me inconsiderate and selfish. Oh and shipping was EXCESSIVE for the amount of packaging he put into it and the actual cost of the shipping itself. This man acts like a 2yr old.

Inpresive Inpresive Indeed

I bought a gamecube and needed a game so I bought this one. It is awesome. You can play multi player games. On story mode you can unlock levels.

Could have been so much better...

I've played many of the games in the Tony Hawk series, including the ones on N64, and I've enjoyed them a lot. Many of my friends are really into this game (Not supprising, since we're all under 16), so I decided to rent this game. While their claim of having no load times proves to be true, the game could use a LOT of work.

GRAPHICS: During story mode, the graphics are very choppy and pretty diappointing. Their mouths never move in sync with the dialogue, and it often looks like their bodies are moving through the walls of buildings. During Classic Mode however, the graphics are AMAZING. So clean, and so slick. I was pretty much blown away.

SOUND: The skating sound effects are very VERY good, and have always been a small reason why I enjoy the Tony Hawk series so much. The dialogue sounds are not as good. If you pay close attention, you'll notice that the sounds during gameplay are MUCH louder than the sounds during the cut-scenes. It becomes annoyng after a while, having to turn the volume on my tv up and down throughout the game. Also, the soundtrack was not very appealing to me. While the Tony Hawk series has introduced me to many talented artists over the years (i.e. Goldfinger, Jurassic 5, Alkaline Trio, e.c.t.)the soundtrack to this game wasn't that good. Don't get me wrong, The Doors and Dead Kennedys are awesome, but I honestly don't think bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance should be covering classic punk songs when they're not even punk to begin with...And the only rap song I liked was "What's Up Fatlip" (I'm a huge fan of The Pharcyde, so maybe that explains it...). A lot of the songs were pure screaming, which I really REALLY hate. I guess it all depends on your taste in music. All you emo/punk/skater fans out there should be pleased.

STORY PLOT: Not the most creative out there. You're this skater punk who's moving to L.A. to get away from your parents, your school, your cheating girlfriend, the po-po, blah blah blah. You meet Mindy who shows you how to fit in, and she introduces you to Iggy who's the skater legend guy who's hiding from the police and teaches you stuff and you win this AM contest and yadda yadda yadda. I think you get the point. Not very interesting, and definitly has no replay value unless you wanna unlock the "bonus" features.

CLASSIC MODE: Absolutly great! Graphics are top-notch, fun to play again and again, and there's 2-player! How's that you say? When playing 2-player classic mode, you combine the efforts of the two players. Meaning, if you need to get a 30,000 point high score, each player can get 15,000 instead of just one person hammering on their controls. Meaning one player can start a combo, and the other can finish it. Meaning one player can collect S-K-A while the other gets T-E. You get what I'm saying. GREAT idea, and it works perfectly. However, there is one tiny little setback. There are only 6 levels. That's right. SIX FREAKIN LEVELS!!! It's an ABOMINATION I tell ya!! =(

DIFFICULTY: Classic mode was pretty challenging for me, but I did beat it eventually on normal difficulty. Story Mode on normal difficulty is NOT hard AT ALL. I beat in the day after I started playing. I didn't try it on 'hard' or 'sick' difficulty, but I really didn't want to play the story mode anymore.

Overall this game is pretty mediocre. I would recomend renting it, and seeing how it fits you. You like it? Great. Go ahead and buy it. But honestly, if you're a true honest-to-god die-hard Tony Hawk fan, I think you'll be dissapointed.

It's Awful!

I have played the tony hawk underground games and they're great, but if you like those then you'll agree with me when I say this thing is a piece of garbage. The graphics suck, that no loading thing is not true, instead of a loading screen your character just sits there not being able to do anything at all! This is a new low for tony hawk games.

Awesome! But They Lie

This is a great game. But there are lots of lies in this game like no loading it loads more than any tony hawk game. But when you ride the bike it does lots of Stupid manuals.
