Tony Hawk's Underground

"This game is sick!"

Where should I start?

New stuff
Okay first of all you can make your own board? Whoa. Make the raddest board and skate it around. You really are pro if you get your own board. There are missions, but there are story missions in this one. Yes STORY missions, you don't skate around looking for some guy to give you a tour of a boat yard. If you look how you start and then when you finish, you know you have to have a story mode between all of that. You get to skate in REAL places in this. You skate in New Jersey, Manhattan, Tampa, and some others, and yet some are still not real like Hotter then Hell, but that's beside the point.

Storyline9/10
Not exactly perfect, but still a thumbs off. They pretty much don't leave one detail off, sometimes you wonder a little though. The story keeps on getting flip floped. And by that I mean like your guy is all happy and victorious and sometimes all angry and a loser. There was on flaw, about how they make you get on a team, but I am not going to go into much of that.

Graphics10/10
Good going Neversoft, there are awesome details in this game. I've been in Moscow before and it's pretty much the same thing. Not really, but still. And they guys/gals are very detailed as well. The houses are good. Now they even put air conditioners that look like the real thing. I give the graphics 2 thumbs up d(^_^d)

Free skating1/10
Neversoft, Neversoft, Neversoft. Way too many glitches. I've found what 20 in like one level. You worked on some glitches, but there are about a million left for you guys to complete. 60% chance when you're just skating for fun you will find a glitch in 1 minute. Ugh.

Tools8/10
By tools I mean like Create-a-board, Create-a-skater and stuff like that. I'll start with the board. You got nice tiles to select from. Some cool, some just decent, and it's your choice. You even can put letters on the board. Here's the catch, only 4 letters on a board. Now creating a skater.... Pretty descriptive, a little more faces, and some more pants/shorts there are too little of them. I love creating a park. Now if you have THPS2 you know that you have a limit to how much things you can have in your park. Yet in THPS4 you have NO limit. And for some ****in' reason the limit is back. I hate that. I love all the things you can make, especially that custom rail. I tried to make a BIG maze and then found there was a limit, I got SOOOOOOO frustrated.

Sidequests10/10
Getting the secret levels. Pretty hard to find yet easy to get once you DO find them. Now the skaters.. OUCH! It's pretty hard to get T.H.U.D. beating the game on sick. Speaking of players. You can get 26 pedestrians! Don't get to excited, because the only way to do this is to do EVERY SINGLE GAP INCLUDING THE SECRET LEVELS. Yes you heard me right. Every gap for 26 players. But hey it's... sorta worth it.

Overall I give this game a 8/10. Good job Neversoft..... except for the glitches.
