Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Expecting your standard Tony Hawk's sequel? Think again. This time the developers have come up with a different slant and have achieved something really significant. The idea this time round is that you start off on the streets with nothing but your board to keep you company. Start skating around, pulling off tricks and sooner or later you'll be spotted; then you start to make your way up the boarding world. That's easier said than done, of course, with a bigger selection of tricks to learn and pull off. The upshot though is that the game presents a high quality, long-term challenge as you slowly make your way to the top. Something that doesn't work quite as well is the ability to pick up your board and explore on foot. It's theoretically supposed to make things more flexible, but ultimately accounts for the game's few slower moments. However, ultimately Tony Hawk's Underground works spectacularly well. Its gameplay is sublime, the multi-player modes are dangerously addictive and it scores immensely in the value for money stakes too. Easily one of the most playable games on any console out there, it holds appeal for gamers at all levels of experience. --Simon Brew Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A good game but..If you own, have owned or know someone who owns a console the odds are you'll have played a version of Tony Hawks. This ubiquity is both this games strength and weakness. If you like the series then you probably own a couple of versions and know just how "just one more go" catchy the games can get. The new story based progression adds to the feel of the game nicely. However if you do own a version that you haven't finished yet then this isn't worth the money until you polish that one off. If you don't like the series then frankly this doesn't change it enough to have any chance of altering your opinion. Buy it if you've finished the others but don't bother if you haven't. Rating: - Good game - not great thoughTony Hawk's Underground (THUG) is an excellent game: The control system is as sleek and fluid as with other titles in the Tony Hawk's series, and the graphics, while not on a par with other extreme sports titles like 'Amped 2' are still very good. The game is a new take on the well trodden Pro-Skater path where you don't just go around doing comps, but instead work your way up the world rankings. However, in the game there are some very annoying bits, like the driving and walking: This ability to get off your board and explore holds the danger of turning THUG into a GTA type game, and is rather pointless. The game doesn't have much replay value either, since the career mode is very linear, and the ...

You get total freedom in adventure, amazing levles, amazing goals plus great tricks. longer version This games great because Neversoft did a brave attemped on making this game different to the other predesecors. As you first go into story mode you then create your own character. The best new feature is undoutably that you can get of your board. You get a realistick storyline and a great sence of freedem. The missions are fun in this game, for example you have to jump over this big bridge. The cops are guarding the bridge. You have to hold onto the back of your ...

Read More: Rating: - Amazing, but only 4 a weekI bought this from amazon and wen it came i was realy exited i ripped open the box and began to create my sk8r 4 story mode. Now i had heard that the creat skater was really good and detailed but it was no better than THPS 4 but thats a minor fualt. I got on and immediatly i loved it, by far and away the best game iv ever played, the graphics were smooth, the tricks innovative and i havnt even got on to the gettin off ur board! This is the best thing about the game and 2 b honest the only thing that sets its appart from its predessor (which im still tryin 2 complete.) I got into the game and the vast expansive, detailed levels and deep levels of interactive gameplay. The story was just setting itself up and the plot started to thicken as ... Read More: |
