 THUG vs THUG 2.... A Tough Match! October 9, 2004

Well, this game was great, my 2nd favorite in the THUG/THPS series. Of course, my favorite is THUG. They're some great improvements, such as new levels (including Australia and Berlin), new characters (including Ryan Sheckler, Shrek, and Phil Margera), and a brand new storyline. You, Eric Sparrow, and some other great pros are kidnapped and thrown in a van. The van unloads, and the story begins. Team Bam and Team Hawk are on an adventure called The World Destruction Tour. Six continents filled with tons of way you can, well, cause destruction! In every level, there's a guest skater and a secret skater. The guest skater, once you find them, are now yours to skate as whenever you want. The secret skater has a vehicle which you can ride in to cause even more destruction and maddness, but stays in the level you found them in. Overall, the Story Mode is short. It took me less than 24 hours to beat it on Easy. But there is also, new to THUG2, a classic mode. Play like THPS games, with a 2-minute time limit, and try to get a High Score, Pro Score, Sick Score, collect Skate, Combo, and more! Plus, you can unlock more than 5 new levels in Classic Mode that you can't unlock anywhere else, like Old Skool levels including THPS3 Airport, THPS School, and more! Oh yeah, and if you like Old Skool levels, you'll be pleased to hear the first level in Story Mode is an expanded version of the THPS Warehouse! Basically, buy this game even though the Story Mode is short, there's plenty more to do!

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.

Best Game I've Got January 5, 2005

Best game i've got and i've got a lot. Be a bunch of pro skaters (i like WEEMAN and Ryan Sheckler) or make your own skater. make cool parks and design your spray paint. Make your skater a girl or boy.
Pros. Lots of action and it never gets boring.
Cons. You can use one created skater at a time.
Buy this game you won't regret it.
Beat the game and get Shrek.
THUG 2 Rocks October 27, 2004

FIrst off, anyone who thinks this game is bad does not like skateboarding. The game is like the first, only that the goals are way cooler and a lot more fun. The focus is a cool effect, except for the fact that if you are bad at combos it will run out and your trick will be really messed up. The story is great and it is really funny(The Wheel of Lugees starts to give off that idea from the start). It is awesome to play as some of the extra characters like Jesse James, Steve-O, and the legendary Ben Franklin. For anyone who liked THUG but missed the old THPS gameplay there is also a classic mode. All in all, this is one of the best games on any system.
