    Great game. It has the same magic as the other games, yet the new features make it seem new. There isn't much use for the car though after you use it in the mission cause when you get out it drops you off where you got the car not where you are. More and better music too. BUT WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE A DECENT HAIR STYLE!!!

    I really don't see what is so great about this game. The adventure is short, and easy. I do find the create a character good, but this game lacks...fun. It just doesn't have the spark that I got from other games, and though i bet everyone in the world is disagreeing with me, i believe this game is below average, and lacks the multiplayer I so desperately relied on.

    Probably one of the best games ever made. If you have online it's even better! It's easily a 10 and online play makes it a ton better. My highest combo is 41 mill at this time but I'm getting better.

    If you haven't played the first 4 Tony Hawks, don't! Tony Hawk 4 was complete c r a p. The hilarious story mode and kickass moves make THUG great.

    Such a simple game and yet it was my first Tony Hawk game, there really isn't much about this game that makes it "great". I just remember playing it all of the time with my brother and we cheated the entire game with codes like moon jump and such because we were so bad yet we still thought the game was amazing. This story is so simple yet for some reason as I kid I actually felt myselfSuch a simple game and yet it was my first Tony Hawk game, there really isn't much about this game that makes it "great".

This story is so simple yet for some reason as I kid I actually felt myself feeling negative emotions towards certain characters (You know who I am talking about) that would cause the character trouble. It was so simple yet one of the first story games I ever played… Expand

    Year on year, the main modes in the THPS games have moved further away from traditional over-the-top skating to encompass more and more 'crazy' goals, something we're not entirely sure we approve of. One thing we are sure of, though, is that the core skating engine makes for by far the best extreme sports game of this generation. [Christmas 2003, p.98]

    With its great innovations, high level of polish, and great level design and objectives - not to mention the load of customization options - I simply couldn't put it down.

    With an enormous amount of customizable options, absorbing story mode and large mod community, T.H.U.G. provides just about anything a gamer could want in a skateboarding title without grabbing a board and hitting the streets. Combine that with the ability to "place" yourself into the game with the face mapping feature, and you have a product that could easily be considered one of the best games of the year.
