Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (XBox) Reviews
After watching the first offficial trailer at E3 2004. There was no doubt in my mind that THUG2 is going to be one of the best games in the series. I've played all THPS, THPS2, THPS3 (my favorite), THPS4, and THUG. Then come october, Tony Hawk's Underground 2: World Destruction Tour. This is probably gonna be one of the best games of 2004. The plot:
Your're teaming up against team hawk and team margera on a world destruction tour.
This game combines into two parts Story Mode & Classic Mode. You're gonna create your own tag, graffiti, throw obstacles at people, ride cars up ramps and quater pipes. The levels are more interactive than ever. Break glass, go inside buildings. It's gonna be great. Though I noticed that the skaters in this game are more cartoonish like. Anyway, few levels i've noticed were Boston, Barcalona, Spain. New Orleans Louisiana, and Berlin, Germany. This is skater list.

Pedestrian Skaters include:
Security Guard, Zombie 1,2,3,4, Fat Teenager, Drum Player (From Boston Level) Disabled Man, Jesse James, Lifeguard, Artist Type Guy, Busker (Trombone Player Maybe), Mime, Darlek 1 (Blue), Darlek 2 (Pink), Darlek 3 (Green), Policeman, A French Man, Austrian Man, Matador, Aborignie, Cool Dude (Fred Durst Look-A-Like!), Hot Dog Seller, Punk Guy, Fat Slob, Little Kid, Sailer, Nut Seller, Army Man, Motocross Helmet Guy, Surgeon, Benjimin Franklen, Site Worker, Skinny Policeman/Security Guard, Rollerskater, and Jester.
Though, what really interested me was the 'CLASSIC MODE. Unlike the previous 'Tony Hawk Games that give you a few past levels, usually only secret levels in the game; THUG2 is giving you "fifteen" classic levels from the previous 'Tony Hawk games with over "one hundred" classic goals.
Well, the date is October 6th, 2004. I've already pre-ordered. This is going to be one of the best games of this year, right up there next to Halo 2.

everybody is saying that the first thug was so much better. that's not true. it has two games in one, the graphics are just as good, it's not short (like i heard someone say). it's just like the first except for a different plot and maybe a little better overall

I loved "Underground"! It is one of the best games I have ever played and I still enjoy playing it. "Thug 2" is disappointing! The graphics don't seem as good as the original "Underground", and the plot which made "Underground" so different from the previous games, in the series is weak. I have owned all the games in the series and this game is the first one I feel did not meet expectations.
Pros: It has the moves of "Underground" along with a few new additions. When you get "special" you can increase your adreline and slow time down to make moves seem more intense (and even a little easier). When you are not on your board you can graffiti, you can put stickers on walls.
Cons: The graphics do not seem as good. The plot is weak. It is not as easy to figure out where to go for the "goals". The game feels more like work then play and because of that is not as much fun as the original.
It seems like the game was thrown together, so it could be ready for Christmas and try to exploit the original "Underground". Save your money and rent it before you consider buying it.
