    Absolutely fantastic, it's punk atmosphere was fascinating and exciting back then. It has so much personality it compensates for everything else. Me and my brother played this game over, and over, and over... for years.

    You could play this game for hours on long because there are so many areas to skate, dozens of Career Mode options, and a brand-new Classic Mode. The narrative, which centers on the World Destruction Tour, is really bizarre. Other than that, the Tony Hawk series gets yet another 10! An immediate recommendation!

    As many games of another genres like shooting (Call of Duty), racing (Need For Speed, Midnight Club) and sports (FIFA, PES and UFC), THUG 2 has no focus on involvement or story, just in bringing fun to player (or players, the game is perfect to play between friends) and in this point the game doesn't fail in nothing and even fill experience with a lot of customization options, lettingAs many games of another genres like shooting (Call of Duty), racing (Need For Speed, Midnight Club) and sports (FIFA, PES and UFC), THUG 2 has no focus on involvement or story, just in bringing fun to player (or players, the game is perfect to play between friends) and in this point the game doesn't fail in nothing and even fill experience with a lot of customization options, letting gamer not only edit its character and skateboarding, but the lane too.… Expand

    The gameplay seems to be just right, every place you go to has something unique about it and I always get lost for hours playing in that one spot.....

    This game is truly amazing. I love all the customization you can put into it and the oddball atmosphere in create-a-skater. Another amazing game, folks.

    Fun as hell. I've always loved Tony Hawk games and this just cemented my love for skating games. Probably the last really good Tony Hawk game. Fo sho.

    Tons of places to skate and lots of Career Mode as well as the new Classic Mode make the hours you spend playing this game endless. The story revolves around the World Destruction Tour, and is very twisted. Other than that, yet another 10 for the Tony Hawk series! An instant recommendation!

    THUG2 doesn't quite live up to pre-THUG standards, but it has one thing that THUG sorely lacks: replay value.

    A very well drawn up game, but will never bet Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Will any Tony Hawk or other skateboarding game bet it.

    An irresistible package born of the classic mold but with an invigorating twist. [Nov 2004, p.140]

    A much more detailed game that improves upon last year's graphical system with much better character models.

    If you’ve ever been a fan of the franchise you owe it to yourself to at least rent it. What starts out as a weekend rental just might turn into your next yearlong obsession.
