Hawk fans must buy this 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.

Perty good launch game for the psp

Okay, for a launch game on the psp i thought this game was really really good. this game was offered to previous consoles but this version for the psp has more features like new levels. i also have never played THUG 2 on the consoles so this game was fresh for me.if u have played THUG 1 0r 2 then it might take a little take getting used to the handling and buttons of this game. ok now im gonna seperate eac aspects of any game into categories and rate each one, the categories are, control, sound, graphics and picture and finally how fun it is.\
Control-8/10: nice controls, kinda took me time to get used to it and i even had to look in the manual cuz ive played Thug 1 and some things were different. kinda feels weird when u make ur own spray becuz the analog stick is a little touchy. but it is easy to get used to. also kind of confusing without l2 and r2 buttons but is still easy to overcome. but the game controls r easy and make busting combos an easy task which is great
Sound-10/10: one of the best soundtracks ive ever heard in a videogame ever! plus u can edit the playlist to your preference which makes things better. voices sound perty good. i recommend using earphones for this becuz to get the most out of this game the earphones work great. the built-in speakers do the job but earphones maxmize the fun.
Graphics and Picture-10/10:ok, im very very picky when it come to the look of the game but this game blew me away. possibly one of the best graphics so far in a game put onto a handheld. i mean handhelds r known to lack in the graphics department, but this game look almost the same as ps2 graphics, who knows, maybe furture games for the psp might even match up to ps2 graphics! i liked the detail put into this game. goodjob activision!
FunFactor-9.5/10: this game overall was one of the best psp launch games so far(cuz i havent tried any other ones yet). perty funny stunts and cutscenes. and having Bam as a main dude in the game just makes things better. he actually made me laugh in one of the cutscenes. just beware kids cuz of the rude behavior presented by some of the skaters. might be a little hard for little kids and some ppl might be offended by the rude language and behavior but i really dont care... really fun multiplayer action. great to play with your buddies. you can even play a game of horse with just one psp, so even if your friends dont have one yet you guys can still play 2gether on one psp, u just pass the psp around when its their turn. how awesome is that!

love the underground series!!

this game is the best game i got for the psp then graphics are the best even on this small system the sound is good the gameplay is soo fun and even longer than the other underground 2's cuz theres more levels and in those levels you get to do missions fun game but the camera gets in the way though i think that was the only downfall of this game for the psp so if you have a psp i recomend you to put it on your psp game list cuz its out of this world!

gameplay 10/10
sound 9.5/10
graphics 10/10
loading 8/10

overall 9.3 the best tony hawk game ever!

in this game there are 4 new levels and more charecters. the graphics ar not as good as the ps2 version butt they are pretty sweet. you have all the create a modes except create a park which is a bummer. i had a glich on mine and my whole body disapeared. i put all the stuff back on my guy but no board because you cant put it back on. the 4 new levels tie in with the story mode. in story mode you get to choose which level you want to go to. you still have the levels you do not choose you just have to go back there unless you dont wanna.buy this game!! the game play is the same as the ps2 version except in here, you run all weird. HERE ARE THE CHEATCODES: (DONT CAPITILIZE IN GAME) PERFECT RAIL-TIGHTROPE. SOME SECRET CHARECTERS: BIRDMAN. type these in correctly and they wiil work. only for the psp though.

This game is an incredibly fun game to play. This was one of my first games for the PSP and I couldnt get enough of it. If you liked all the other Tony Hawk's you'll love this game. When playing it I just couldnt put it down.

Despite the GBA ports, the series never got a true handheld port, but with the release of PSP, the game series finally got it's first good port of Tony Hawk. A remix version of the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox hit, the game added four more levels, deleted some of the mindless cut scenes, and gave us everything else good about the same old game. A couple faults were seen, but that really dosen't hurt the game, because the game is still solid, and this port is a great port indeed.

The classic gameplay is still here, with no real changes. Since the PSP does not have two analog sticks, you have to use the control pad to do trucks. I am used to the stick, so it took a little whlie to get used to it, but after a whlie, I got the hang of it, and it works like a charm. The graphcis had a little downgrade in terms of visuals, but that's not really suprising. The game still looks mighty fine though, it sure beats the blocks DS version or the anarchic 2-D visuals. Thanks to the PSP, people can play Ton Hawk on the go, and they still get everything the console version had to offer, plus new levels and a face map editor, which means you can put your face in the game. Pretty cool stuff. Let's see the DS offer a rich gaming expirence like that. It can't touch that.

You know the gameplay itself is rugged and solid at the same time, but the presentation is not bad either. The graphics are great, as the framerate did not take a dip of any kind. you can see the scenery of the other levels far as the eye can see. The snazzy water effects and other small things are intact as well. The soundtrack stayed the same, as the did not add or delete any songs, it was untouched. There is not much to say, because any Hawk fan knows why the like the game, adn this game will please anybody who likes the series. This is a no-brainer, and it survived the port process, so there is no reason not to buy this if you already have it. And for the price, it's a nobrainer, like I said before.

2nd best PSP game to Wipeout Pure

Wow! This game has almost identical grahics to the PS2 games and has 4 more levels than THUG 2 for PS2! There are also new characters. The only dropoff of this game from the console is the fact that there are only 2 shoulder buttons instead of 4. If you have play Tony Hawk on a console before and have enjoyed it, then this is a must buy.
