The new Tony hawk game has had a huge improvement from the last tony hawk game.For instence you can get off your board, you can drive cars create a deck even create a trick. But one of the most significant differences was the The new story mode. Unlike the other tony hawk games this one has a plot. You get to start out as a unknown skater into a pro by entering compititions and impressing the pros.In it you can create a skater or pick a pro for differn't 2 player modes like the new game where you shoot fireballs at your opponen't by doing certain tricks. Also for Playstation 2 you can acctually get your self in the game. But with all the features the there is some downsides to the game like stuff with the game's graphic like when you run or push on the skateboard the skater's movment is fake looking and skechy. Also you can't get your face in the game if you have it for gamecube.
With all that I give the Storyline a 5/5 the Gameplay a 4.5/5 the graphics a 4/5 and an overall of 4.5/5. It's a great game and one of the most andvance games so far.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is the BOMB! My mom found it at a Kohl's for 24.99. This game is good and really got me into skating. I skate everyday now.

Graphics-9 out of 10
The graphics are great, only pop- up happens sometimes.

Sound-10 out of 10
I found the Sound to be deatailed. You can hear Every ollie you do. A lot of tricks have different sounds.

Soundtrack-10 out of 10
There are a lot of good songs on here, including 3 by KISS. (=
You can disable the songs you don't like. I disabled most of the rap songs, except for the Busdriver and Deltron 3030 songs.

Gameplay: 10 out of 10.
I learned how to Acid Drop from this game. the controls for the game won't send you to the hospital like a lot of other button mashers.

BUY THIS GAME, HOMiES!

The game to end all games...

Tony Hawk's Underground (THUG) is the amazing 5th title in a series of skateboarding games that has yet to let us down. From the very beginning, the series has delivered a fun, challenging, and addictive skateboarding experience, but never could anyone have imagined how that experience would change with THUG. The biggest change with the new game is the incredibe Story Mode, the heart and soul of the entire game. Starting out as a skater punk in a run down neighborhood in New Jersey, you work your way up from punk, to amateur, to pro. In each chapter of the game, you pick from a list of goals which ones you want to complete to move on. You also meet some real pros such as Tony Hawk and Chad Muska in the game, who skate with or against you, and even teach you their special moves. You can also now get off your board to walk around, and even drive vehicles just for fun, or to complete missions. Perhaps the most fun part about Tony Hawk is how much you can customize your game. No longer are you forced to play with the real pros...now you get to create your own skater; make yourself, or whatever you want. One you become a pro, you can design your own board by choosing a background graphic, a pattern graphic, and then putting up to four other graphics on top of that, such as letters or pictures. THUG features the most advanced park-editor to date: create gaps, raise and lower terrain, create your own pools and pipes, and even make your own goals that you, or your friend, can play. Also on THUG is the new trick editor, which allows you to combine rotations and real tricks to make your own custom trick that can be used in the game.

Now that I've told you some of the features of the game, here's my critique: the game is amazing, no doubts there. The story mode is great, although it is way too short, and kind of easy. The other thing about it is that, unlike in the advertisements, you have to follow a specific storyline...it would have been a lot more fun if you could make choices in the game that would affect the outcome, and the "path" you take. If you put in 2 or 3 hours, you can easily beat the game before you know it. The other problem is the stat raising: buy doing certain requirements, you can improve the performance of your skater. Although this does allow you to create the perfect skater, it would have been more fun if, like a Sims sort of thing, they could have given you a certain amount of points, and you could choose which fields to make your skater good in; that would have made the game a lot more realistic. Besides these two things, everything else in the game is truly incredible. The trick, park, skater, and goal creators are all amazingly advanced and fun, and they never get old. The driving controls are pretty simple, but it is a nice break from the traditional all skating games. Lastly, the graphics...all I can say is WOW. Even if you're not a fan of the Tony Hawk series, buy or at least rent this game. I guarantee that you'll love it.

CRAZY Game

Tony Hawk games started to get REALLY boring after the 2nd one. They were all the same, with the exception of some new levels, a trick or two, or a new skater. Then along came Underground. This totally turns upside-down all that was boring. There's thousands of ways to make your custom skater, and the stat system is unbelievable. Instead of making you assign stats to different things, the game assigns points based on what tricks you do (eg., if you grind a lot, then your rail balance will get high). Another awesome thing is that you can GET OFF YOUR BOARD! This enables you to climb to otherwise un-reachable areas, and shimmy along power lines and other structures to reach that perfect spot. But by far the best addition is the create-a-trick mode. I was always frustrated with the specials and how dumb most of the tricks were in all the other skating games, but when I saw this, I was blown away. The tricks in this game are already uncompareable to all the others, but you can make your own, complete with sound effects, flag-holding, and guitar-playing. I highly recommend this game, but be warned, it's addicting!

greatgame!!!!!!!!!

This game is without doubt one of the best sport games ever. It is really fun, and you can create your own parks, decks, tricks etc. The story is great, and you get to play as your own created player. One of the coolest things on the game is the fact that you can get off your board and walk around as well as drive cars. The graphics are superb as well as gameplay. My only complaint: it's too easy. This game is really easy to beat although it is fun in the process. Don't get me wrong, the story and goals are great, they just really needed to lenghthen them to make it harder. My point: it's fun to beat the frist few times, but it gets repetetive.

looks pretty good

this game has a lotof potential. first it has the last 5 thps game backing it up (not 4 cuz thrers tony hawk 3x on xbox) plus its taking a different route. theres the create a trick thing. and its a littleless publisized. not a lot of commercials. i think they wanted real skaters to play this game. Not 7 year old who try to kickflip their first day and quit cuz they cant. cuz thats what the first few games did. But i like the series and this game should be really good.
