Tony Hawk's Underground 2

"This is called a Tony Hawk game?"

I love the Tony Hawk games. I thought they were the best sporting series to come out. But this came along. I think because this game came along, it may screw up the Tony Hawk series!

7/10 Graphics
The graphics are about as good as the first THUG. I, by first sight, thought they may have gotten worse. The graphics, at times, look pretty bad. The environment is not too bad. The look of people has not changed a lot since the first THUG. Overall the graphic are a little above average

3/10 Story
Here is the HUGE downfall. The story is that you are a teen that is part of the thing called the world destruction tour, and you go around destroying things. The story is not deep, or is it very good. If you like games with good stories, then this game is not for you.

8/10 Game play
The game play is the very strong point of this game, but it is not as fun as the other Tony Hawk games are. Like what I said in Story section, go around destroying things. At first it is fun. But near the end of the game it gets pretty boring. Another mode which saves the game play section is called classic mode. This is a mode where you play collect S K A T E, get the high score, and other thing similar to that. Classic mode is like Tony Hawk's 1, 2, and 3.

8/10 Music
The sound is a strong point in this game. The music is very well done. There are many tracks to listen to. The music, most of the time, fits in what you are doing.

5/10 Playtime
I beat story mode in one day on normal. Classic Mode is a little longer, but not much. It is a quick play. There are many things to unlock, but they are not worth your time.

Rent or Buy?
Rent at all costs. This is a game to pass up on. You can beat the story mode in three hours at the most. There are other games out there. If you are a Tony Hawk die hard fan then get it.

In conclusion this is a fun game to begin with, but it becomes less and less fun as you go though the game. This game is a little above average, but is not worth of being called a Tony Hawk game.
