Tony Hawk's Underground

"Indy, Varial, Manual, Wall Ride, (you like your combo now, it's getting long) Fakey Ollie Ugh!"

I know I have been late on all these games, but I love to write reviews, old game or not. I got this a year ago, so you probably can tell I am late with video games. But I love to be nice, and help, because I am a Christian, and I like to help other people. The way this helps is that it makes people decide on the game, if you want it or not. I am not saying that video games have to do with Christianity, but anyways, on to my ratings.

Graphics. 7/10
The graphics are okay, but not exactly the type that would make you say "I want this game." But I still think the graphics are decent. Good enough graphics to keep you from saying "These graphics stink. This looks like the worse game ever." By the way, this was my first Tony Hawk game, so I don't know if this game was a good improvement in the graphics or not. Lets say a lot better than the second one, Underground 2. I got that about half a year ago. The graphics stink on that one.

Difficulty. 7/10
This game has pretty nice difficulty, although, I have to admit, a couple of levels were really hard. Some took me about ten times to finally win one. At first, I had no idea how to do a manual, since it doesn't give much detail about it. I took a long time to learn to link moves together in a combo. And the last level is insanely hard, but hey, its the last level.

Storyline. 8/10
I don't know if this storyline is repeated often, but it is a good one. I like how you get better and better and one day meet Tony himself. I also like how he gets more known and more known until... he gets to be in the Tony Hawk team. I also like how missions sometimes are supposed to help people, except the one that you keep someone out of jail. But some are just for fun.

Fun with playing after you beat it. 3/10
Once you win, its like... over. This wasn't too great at this new rating. Not much to say here.

Buy, rent, or throw away?
Buy. Just do it.

Well, that is it. I think this is my fourth or fifth review for Gamefaqs. Jeez. I just made this a week ago.-knil
