What Happened to the Graphics???

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.
