Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix
Review by RyanHartig
"Smile that its not a port"
Visuals (10/10) Remix has close to if not the exact visuals that the original version on the console gives you. Not only is everyone and everything smooth in the game but the frame rate is great and very solid even in WIFI.
Controls (8/10) If your like me and haven't played a Tony hawk game since 2001 you won't be that pissed off with the controls. Its very simple to handle the controls as long as you were able to handle the very first Tony hawk pro skater. In some cases though my fingers felt like I have been playing a fighting game and also when you really want someone to do something they won't always do it the way you want them to.
Gameplay (9/10) Story mode is cool but leaves you wanting more cut-scenes and a way to view the cut-scenes after beating the level. They didn't though so if you want to see these cut-scenes you'll have to play and beat the game again and again. Other than story mode it has a classic mode which is like the THPS1, Horse witch is like a muti-player game only you and whoever else are using the same PSP. and WIFI play. WIFI play is more like a way for friends to show off to each other.
Sound (10/10) This game has a huge sound track. Its almost worth buying this game for the sound track alone. I mean it, if you get sick of your MP3's you can just pop this game in go to sound options and just listen to punk, rock, or hip hop music.
Replay (7/10) As fun and great as this game is its really just a good way to waste time. Unlike games like FPS's its effect doesn't stay with you after you've done everything there is to do in the game. However you will use the soundtrack all the time and even the effect of the game itself is gone it still is a game that you'll want to master just for the hell of it.
Other Crap (really up to you) the new levels are pretty cool but the cutscenes in them kinda suck. The Vegas level is very creative but will piss you off.
Anyway that's it for now so until next time get out of my face
