A LONG step backwards in the Tony Hawk series
This game is absolutely awful, I would actually rather study than play it. It's one of the worst pieces of trash I've played in a long time & I'm an AVID Tony Hawk supporter (until now that is).
First of all, 2/3 of the skaters that have been with the game from the beginning are gone, only the most mainstream skaters made the cut. OG skaters like Rowley, Reynolds, and JT have been replaced by the likes of Steve-O, Jesse James, & even Bigfoot.
Second, the storyline has essentially turned the game into an episode of "Viva La Bam". Half of the goals don't involve skating of any type and simply play on the "skateboarding-is-punk-so-we-destroy-things-'cuz-that's-the-cool-skater-thing-to-do" mantra that seems to be pervading the youth skate culture. If you've skated for any length of time this comes off as a desperate & pathetic attempt to make some money off a crappy game that caters to all the 13 year olds who think Bam Margera is the greatest.
Lastly, as if the pop culture influence that permeates the gameplay isn't insulting enough, there is A video at the end. No, not 1 video per pro, A video featuring all of them. They each throw 3 moves & it's over.
When the Tony Hawk series began the games actually influenced pop culture; now they're doing just the opposite & letting what's trendy dictate the direction of the games. I used to buy all the sequels without question, but after seeing the previews for this game I decided to rent it first (thank goodness I did). You could do a lot better with $50 than buy this game; like buy some real skateboard gear.
Go back to the old formula
I have always been a huge fan of the Tony Hawk series of video games, ever since the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (THPS). I have seen many improvements to the original formula over the past five years, but the last couple of games in the series have been disappointing. For me, the high point of the series was THPS 4. It had a ton of challenging goals, awesome levels, and is the one game in the series that I will pull out if I just want to goof around.
THUG 2, on the other hand, is a shorter game (I beat story mode on normal difficulty in one weekend in between midterm study sessions), has relatively forgettable levels, and shamelessly promotes antisocial behavior. To add to the depth of the game, a classic career mode was added, with the two minute timer and classic goals such as collect S-K-A-T-E, pro scores, and hidden video tapes, all within the same levels as story mode. Nice idea, but I always hated that stupid two minute timer.
I still feel that I can give THUG 2 a pretty good rating because it still had the same addicting gameplay as other games in the series and they added a new "focus mode," which allows you to switch to bullet-time in special mode, giving you better control. It was also kind of a cool addition to give you a pro teammate and two special guest skaters for each level, each with their own unique goals. One of the special guests in each level had a different type of ride, like a go-kart or a motorized wheelchair. Nice idea, but I hated the control on some of these rides, especially Steve-O's mechanical bull.
Bottom line: This game is too short and not as fun as some of the other games in the series. There were only 6 new levels (I believe) with a few classic levels added in. Trying to play through on "sick" difficulty mode may add to the replay value, but you're still playing the same goals, just more frustrating.
Another in a Series of Great Skateborading Games
THUG 2, another in a series of mindless, yet entertaining skateboarding games, brings to life a new breed of Tony Hawk magic, total and complete mayhem.
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 is the sixth edition of the world's most famous and best selling skateboarding games, and like it's predecessers, along with some new editions to the gameplay and graphics, creates a totally new story, one involing Bam Magera, a master of destruction and confusion. Even the gamers of little knowledge about the world of skateboarding could enjoy this game, a game in which, despite abandoning the old goal of becoming a legendary skateboarder, holds true to the Tony Hawk spirit, and despite some minor flaws, could easily entertain fans of most ages for many hours on end.
The story begins with you, a skater, being chosen to participate in what is known as a World Destruction Tour, involving two teams, headed by two men, Hawk and Magera. You must travel around with your team across the globe, from Germany to Spain to Australia, to create as much destruction and mayhem as you can, while also, along the way, riding crazy vehicles with a variety of guests, doing outrageous stunts, and of course, putting up your mark in graffitti anywhere you want.
Maybe you enjoy the classic Hawk games, the games like Tony Hawk 1, 2, and 3, where you simply skate around freely and at your own will, doing simple, yet challenging goals, unlocking levels, and building up your skater to become the best of the best. This partof the game, known as "Classic Mode," is just as fun as the story mode, allowing you to play in both new and old school levels, and even a secret level at the end, in which, if completed successfully, unlocks a variety of new skaters and videos for you to enjoy.
The game barely misses a perfect score from this avid PS2er, simply because of a few minor flaws. The first of which is the varying degrees of difficulty in the modes. Before starting a game you are asked what difficulty you want, and even though you may of chose easy or normal, you still get very complex and difficult goals, and ones in which may seem close to impossible to complete. Other times, though, you recieve goals that are so easy that they are completed in a matter of seconds and without much thought or strategy, though for some of you this may not necessarily be a bad thing.
This game, even if you don't enjoy skateboarding, should at least be rented, and played, for you may soon find yourselves outside on your own, trying to perfect your own version of the Hawk kickflip.
Note: This game is not for younger children as it does involve some very crude and sexual humor, including the throwing of beads at women in the streets during Mardi Gras, thus resulting in...well...take a lucky guess. For parents monitor your child's use of the game, and maybe, despite the rating of Teen (ages 13+), wait a little while before allowing your son or daughter to partake in the playing of this somewhat suggestive game.
