Let me get to the bottom line, this game sucks. Same game as tony hawk underground 2 but with just 4 new levels. Controls suck and are hard. this game is a no-no...

For Kis or Not?

Ok, Ok, we get it. Tony hawk is fun and good. The problem is, it's the same game it was 10 years ago. Sure this time there are some destruction elements and some new players and new places, but blah blah blah. Same old, same old. This is a near perfect port of the ps2. It looks great, it plays great, and if you like completing tasks, you keep this game forever. Or, you'll figure out that you wasting insane amounts of time to complete stupid mundane tasks in order to unlock another fascinating new level and many more stupid tasks. We should call it Tony Hawk's puzzle skateboarding, since after the initial coolness of the new world wares off, you spend all of your time solving the puzzle of completing the task.

Bottom Line: Is it fun? As fun as every other Tony game they release yearly. Will I keep it? Not for long. Nothing new here. Buy the game now if you love all Tony Hawk games. Is it for kids? Not to bad if your kids want to just skate around.

good but not worth the price

You must be a diehard Tony Hawk fan to like this,like myself, since I never get tired of playing the Tony Hawk goals. It is essentially the same levels from the old games. The familiarity translated to a portable counterpart is nice but definitely not anything to write home about. It seems that there are very few newbies, although there was a Las Vegas level that I have never played before but not much else. This is the perfect translation from PS2 to PSP because the controls are exactly the same. One should just buy American Wastleland for Xbox or PS2 because then you can watch your skater on a much larger screen(your television or computer). One major complaint I have about this game is that the screen isn't large enough to accomodate the atmosphere of the levels and their grandour . The game is good on PSP but not one of those showcase games to the system that really emplify the PSPs greatness. The games that are truly great are included on the PSP sample disc with exception to ATV Offroad Fury(absolutly infuriating) It is the best Tony Hawk game for a portable game system because the graphics for it widely surpass that of the Gameboy consoles and Nokia phones. A friend of mine played American Wasteland on his Gameboy SP and I could hardly stand the basic, simple plainess of it after playing Underground 2 on PSP. Underground 2 is a fun game to keep for a couple weeks but you may get bored with it after playing it continually. American Wastleland for Xbox is much better than this particular game because there are no loading screens and it takes forever to load on the PSP. Again I would recommend American Wastleland for PS2 or Xbox. One would get much more satisfaction of playing these sort of games on a large high resolution flatscreen. Buy Underground 2 only under this circumstance: If you really like Tony Hawk and want to play it in the car, waiting room for the doctor, airport or any other situation where you are killing time this version will suffice.

The Hawk hits the PSP and it's better than expected.

Tony Hawk's Underground 2 for the home consoles were really good Tony Hawk games because they were just a whole lot different from the rest of the games in the series; really unique and strange. Here is my review for THUG2 Remix for the PSP.

This game is a lot like the console versions, but there are a few things different about this game. First, the character customization is a little bit better because there is more choices for items to put on your character. Not a lot, but there are a few. Second, the levels appear in different orders, and some of the older levels from past Tony Hawk games appear in this version instead of the console ones. For instance, on both versions you start off in the level Training; which is exactly the same for both versions. But the next level on the PS2 or any other console would have been Boston, but on the PSP it's Santa Monica, which is in Tony Hawk 2 I believe as well as Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

Graphics: 8.5/10. The graphics in this game during game play looks very similar to the earlier versions of this game. They look really good for a handheld. There is really just one thing that I don't like: the vides/cutscenes. Normally in a game the cutscenes have better graphics than the actual in-game graphics, but in THUG 2 Remix, the graphics are actually worse, and the graphics are really glitchy and blurry. The videos are definitely not pretty to watch, but the overall in game graphics look really, really good.

Sound: 9/10. The sound is pretty much the same as the earlier versions, there are even some songs from the older version's soundtrack in this one too, but there are also different songs; not just the same exact ones that are in the PS2 and Xbox versions. The voices are well done, and the rest of the skateboard sounds sound good, too.

Control: 7/10. Yeah. Controls... I never really had a problem with a single games controls until I played this game. These controls are just confusing, stupid, and makes you wonder more than once "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T SONY HAVE TWO ANALOG STICKS PUT ON THE PSP!?!?" Since you can't change the controls, yes, SINCE YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE CONTROLS, this is how you play. You have to skate around with the D-Pad; which sounds okay, but since the PSP is known for it's somewhat unresponsive D-Pad, it really isn't easy to do. If you try to press two buttons on the D-Pad at once ( Like turning while on your board without moving ) it's actually very hard to do unless you are off your board because you have to press down extremely hard for this to work; and it isn't even worth it. You will find yourself in some kind of a race to get points in story mode, and you won't be able to do it because the controls are so out of whack. When you press L to get off your board, you can use the D-Pad to walk, or analog stick to run. The rest of the buttons pretty much are just like the PS2 version; X to ollie, Triangle to grind, Square for flip tricks, and O for grabs. The controls are just terrible for me because of the fact you HAVE TO USE the D-Pad to move; I would have much rather been able to use the analog stick.

Fun: 7.5/10. All-in-all, this is a decent game worth checking out even if you have played the console versions. Sure this game's controls are mediocre, the nice graphics, the good soundtrack, the somewhat long gameplay makes this a buy to hardcore fans. There is even Ad-Hoc multiplayer ( short distance multiplayer ) for up to ( It's either 4 or 8 players ). That adds to the experience. It would have been nice to have Infrastructure, though. ( Online ). So whether you've already beaten Tony Hawks Underground 2, THUG 2 Remix has some new levels, some older levels Underground 2 didn't have, and it's portable. If you are a die-hard Hawk fan, you should buy this game; even though the controls really are pretty damn bad.

8.1/10

Playful Game

It's not what I expected, but I'm not a skateboarder. So, I just play this game to feel like one. Although, it's a game that I am getting used to. I have the one in PS2, and it's fun to skate on rails, rooftops, powerlines, etc. Too bad can't do that in the real world. The first Tony Hawk: Underground was okay and I got that one too. I'm not far from the level that I'm on either one of them. But it's fun to play as a skateboarder, which makes you feel like one although not.

awesome game

THUG 2 Remix for PSP may not be the perfect game for anyone, but if you are a big fan of the Tony Hawk series, then this game is your dream come true. When I made the decision to buy the PSP, I actually didn't even consider buying this game because I already had the PS2 version. Then I read that the PSP version contains four brand-new levels, and realized that I must buy it because I could never stand to miss any Tony Hawk levels. But after thinking about it, I realized that I would have ended up buying this game even without the new levels. Why? Because I love playing Tony Hawk games. It is the type of game that I can pick up any time and start playing, even if I'm not working on any particular goals. Having a Tony Hawk game at my fingertips 24/7 is why I bought this game.

There is plenty of gameplay here. There are more levels than I've bothered to count and you can play through them in both story mode (where the goals are kind of stupid) and classic mode (where the goals are like the older games and you have a 2:00 time limit). Plus, there is easy, normal, and sick difficulty levels, so the truly hardcore have a whole extra level of challenge to keep them playing longer.

I bought this game two weeks ago and I still cannot stop playing it, even though I already played through it on my PS2! If the Tony Hawk series even remotely grabs your interest, you should get this game.

best hawk yet!

ive been playing this game for a few days and have to say it the best hawk of the series. i was hesitant about buying it after owning the ps2 version but the psp has new cities + the ps2 levels that are bigger and deeper. i dont know how this was accomplished on a handheld without cutting anything but its very cool.

One of the launch titles for the new PSP is Tony Hawks Underground 2 Remix. While this was basically released a while ago on all the consoles as well as the pc, this version incorporates 4 new cities as well as a few other features that were left out of the console versions. I never played THUG 2 on the consoles so this is an entirely new experience for me. For a handheld, I was amazed at how detailed the cities and characers were. This is easily one of the best PSP launch games and it will have you hooked for a long time. The load times aren't bad at all and the controls are great too. My only complaint is that there is no sound during the cutscenes which is kind of a bummer but I guess its not that big of a deal. You can even map your own face onto a custom character by loading a photo from a digital camera! Anyways, this is one game that will you will definitely want to own if you bought a brand new PSP.
