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!

Great game; don't pass it by.

In 2003, Neversoft released a game a bit different from the others. You could be yourself. Well, this is still Tony Hawk so it's about skateboarding. Although they did get a bit "off-topic", it's forgivingly fun sometimes, and not like Underground 2 (still another good Tony Hawk game though). I found it to be quite fun, yes.

Graphics. Nearly perfect. The guy below me may have a faulty disc or something. When they talk, it REALLY looks like their talking. Everything is animated very well, and I am happy with it.

Sound. This has great sound, sound quality, music, and voiceovers. Not much I can say here.

Gameplay. Controls aren't hard to learn. For most tricks, a simple button combination. The same familiar meters for grinds and manuals are back. This isn't a very short game, nor very long game. In Story Mode, you do goals to progress. Often helping or impressing someone, the final level goal always has something to do with the story itself. And you'll enjoy the game. I'm sure.

Tony Hawk's Underground for GameCube: Buy or Not? Of course! This is highly recommended for any GameCube owner.

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.

Well, before I started up THUG, the only Tony Hawk game I'd ever had before was Tony Hawk 2. It was quite a thrill just being able to do a spine transfer and being able to customize my playlist which had more than 6 songs this time. But with that being said, I really hope they make THUG2 longer and harder to beat, seeing as Sick Mode, "for the hardcore Tony Hawk veterans", was beaten by me in about four days with absolutely no cheats at any time. And the last thing I am is a harcore Tony Hawk veteran. I do hope they find a different approach to making levels though, the only fun levels are San Diego and Hawaii, and that burns them out after awhile, although I suppose if you don't completely suck at making parks like I do, you could always make your own. One last thing that I find very annoying in this game is when you reach different parts in the game they automatically change your shirt and then you have to go back to the customize character thing and get the settings back all over again (it happens a few times throughout the game). If I wanted a dumb team shirt, I'd put it on myself.

Although I must say I'm quite happy with the whole 'make your own character to use for the story' deal. There could be much better clothes and stuff, but it's quite good as it is. I like the idea of earning stats rather than having to buy them, like you used to have to.

Great if you like to skate

Being a skate boarder myself, i thought this game was awsome.
it had some good levels and some great tricks. more with more levels then T.H.U.G.2 it takes a litle longer then the 2nd game. but beat it once and it takes an after noon to do it again. so go for this before you thing bout T.H.U.G.2 and you'll have a great time.......

Very fun, but loaded with flaws

This is a good game overall, but it still needs a few improvements that weren't made in Tony Hawk's Underground 2. Let me name a few:

- when you ditch your vehicle, it should stay in the exact place you parked it, instead of going back to the place you found it.

- there should be a wider choice of vehicles

- you should also to be able to enter more buidlings

- there should be a couple of pro skaters tearing up each level with you so you're not completely alone

- the levels should be bigger and more detailed, although Hotter than Hell can't really get more detailed

Although I've named many flaws, this game still deserves a 4.5/5, which is equal to 8.75/10. If these improvements are made in the next Activision skateboarding game, (whether it's Tony Hawk's Underground 3 or Bam Margera's underground, which I think would be a 10 out of 10 game) I will definately buy it.

Rock on!!!!!!

Truely awsome

I don't skate board in real life,but in video games I am the queen of the kickflip!lol!This game,unlike the other Tony Hawk games,has more of a story.At the beginning,you live in a dumpy part of New Jersey were there is this street called "Elm Street" were drug dealers hang out.You try to get sponsered by Paralta's skateboarding shop and must go threw tasks and goals.Its very fun especaily when the Elm Street drug dealers try to kidnap Eric(your friend who becomes your enemy later on) because he set their car on fire so you have to go chasing after them in a awsime car!
Since the drug dealers are after Eric,you escape with him to Manhaten.There you have to overcome more challenges and deal with lots of people calling you "A stupid kid from Jersey".While your in Manhaten you make a sponser-me video for Paralta.You must do tricks over a flaming taxi while Eric films you!Its really fun.
You send the tape to Paralta and the next thing you know,your in Tampa to atend a skating comptetitoin!

I'm gunna shut up now before I spoil it to much.lol

Excellent, but with some minor flaws

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.

good game
