Before I get to the Tony Hawk's Underground review and tell you how awesome it really is, let me give you a little brief history on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - A revolutionary game that basically created the extreme sports genre. So if you play any extreme sports game today, thank Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - An all around better game that the first. Another addictive classic.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - They did it again. Not only that, but this was the first next gen Tony Hawk game so the big leap from PSOne to Xbox really made the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series advance to the next level, gameplay wise.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 - A brand new career mode, new tricks and even better gameplay made this a big leap foward that any other Tony Hawk game before it.

Tony Hawk's Underground - Its finally here... The one we have been waiting for, and the best yet! I love the Tony Hawk series. It is my favorite gaming series of all time. The games are just so addictive, and I love mastering them all. I love unlocking everything, beating them tons of times, and finding out all of the secrets in em. So you can tell why this didn't dissapoint me at all. The gameplay is just a big leap foward. Neversoft(the developers of this game) are very talented developers and they keep revolutionizing this series so much so it doesen't get stale and their hard work pays off by the awesome sales of the Tony Hawk series. Well, back to Tony Hawk's Underground information... This game is just incredible. The gameplay is super addictive and revolutionary... Its just all good. You can even get off your board this time and climb up buildings ant other things too! And getting off your board really helps you out in combos too. It makes them really big and you will just keep on racking up the big points! The career mode is just incredible. You don't play as a pro this time. Instead, you play as yourself! You create your self in this game and then you play as him. I created a guy that sorta looked like me. There is also a interesting story this time around. The other Tony Hawk games just had really great gameplay but no real good storyline. This time, you will want to see what happens next in the game during the storyline. And yes, there are many other gameplay imrpovements. The create a skatepark mode is better than before and this is one of the most customizable games around. There is also a very large soundtrack with punk, hip hop and rock songs. So, since you have heard how good this game is, go buy it. Really, its worth it! I wonder what the next Tony Hawk game will be like. If its better than this, it will too incredible...

coool

I thought this game was going to be like the other tony hawk games. Sure those are great but this one is unbelievable! There is really a story line being played throughout the game. you can also get off your board and run and climb on buildings.
Well the graphics arent amazing but once you start playing you wont care. you start off like a regular skate punk and keep playing to become the number one Skater. you really compete to get sponsered by real sponsers! I give this game 5 stars and i think you will too.

The best game this year

The day I had thoughts of buying T.H.U.G. I thought that I would read some reviews to see if this game was for real, I saw the reviews and I didn't see any good ones...I thought to myself, okay, so some people don't like it, but my friends sure thought it was a cool game...so i went to the store and decided to buy it,I came home and i'll tell yah, i played this game alot, it is awesome!the only bad thing is it is really really short, but if your an addicted gamer like me you can just ebat it over and over, and it's really cool how u can create your own deck, park and custom skater...and there is many things to unlock....

Graphics - 10/10
Gameplay - 10/10
Sound - 9/10

Wow! I rented this game and it is awesome! A favorite feature of mine is that you can create your own tricks(only speacial tricks though). I wish I could rate this game more than five stars, if I could I would rate it an 100. I highly reccomend this game to anyone who is an THPS fan. Trust me you WILL like it.

What ever anyone else says this game Rules. 10 hours gives it a fun way to complete your goals. Plus if you can't beat one just move on and work around it. Even if you don't beat all the missions before getting a new level you can still go back and do them."If you want" I can't say anything bad about this game. It is pure goodness. The two player mode rules, Me and my friends ALL have this game and when ever we see each other the first thing we do is talk about new seceret levels and such. So whatever the other person says THIS GAME RULES.

What a game!

Tony Hawk skateboarding games have always been fun to a certain degree, but there were always various things you wished the games had. Each game was released with more freedom, creativity and options which became broader making each Tony Hawk sequal better than its prequal. Tony Hawk's Underground is by far the best of the Tony Hawk series and makes a farther leap into fantastic gameplay than the other Hawk games accomplished.

In Tony Hawk's Underground, the control has been brought to a smooth, pleasing level which makes the interface extremely easy and fun to manage. The game gives much more liberty and run of levels as you can jump off of your board, run around and even climb and hang off roof edges. A broadening of tricks allows gamers to piece together brilliant, eye-popping, challenging combos which creates limitless choices to creativity. Every trick and combo is so smooth it just begs you to do it again with more jazz. Tony Hawk's Underground boasts excellent control.

The storyline and challenges are put together very well. Starting with casual "chillin'" with your "homies" you board around New Jersey accomplishing various objects which gradually increases your skill. Fighting to become a pro, you face many challenges standing in your path which take time and skill to complete. The storyline keeps you calm and relaxed in the beginning and then furious and tense in the end as you battle against a skater who betrays you.

Tony Hawk's Underground has excellent control, difficulty challenges and a well developed story. To put it plainly, this game is a combination of the previous Hawk games put together into a brilliant, single game. This game is extremely fun. I highly recommend it.

I think it's better.

Some may say they ruined the Tony series. They didn't. Hardcore fans may be outraged, but this is funner.

One thing: NO MORE TAPES!!!! Yay. There are the secret tapes, but you don't have to complete goals like collecting the letters S-K-A-T-E in a 2 minute run. Instead, you may find yourself catching some cardboard boxes for a bum so he'll give you his train ticket. Or attatching a magnet to your board and doing 360s to disrupt a satelite. See? It's not all that bad! And, you can get off your board. Getting off your board can also string combos togeter, so there will be some 300,000+ point combos achieved. You can do flatland tricks from a manual, which gives huge points. In some missions you'll have to drive a car.

There's actually a plot to this game too. It's basically you and your best friend Eric trying to become pros.

It's a good game. Really.
