    A change of breed doesn't do anything to this game but make it awesome! An extremely revamped Create-A mode setup is shown here, with the Create-A-Park mode in this game probably the best part about it. The story is no good, but the Career Mode itself is pretty magnificent. An extremely addictive game in the series, and an instant recommendation to anybody anywhere!!

    While not my favorite game of the series, Tony Hawk's Underground is one of my favorite games of all time, and one I will be playing again and again. I love the game so much I don't even pay attention to the flaws.

    9.5/10 = Incredible = The last great Tony Hawk game ever made. This game is addictive and a blast to play. It's new features allow for unlimited amounts of replay value. I loved creating new missions and levels!!

    Very weak in my oppinion. The story was ok byt at this point Tony Hawk's just had lost "IT." I'd rather but THPS2 again and again.

    Come on. It didn't have the THPS magic. I finished this once and had no feeling of wanting to play it ever again. I picked up THPS4 again instead, it doesn't have the uber gay "edgy, urban" storyline, the detestable "Eric" character, or the challenges which, well, DON'T challenge me at all.

    This game is cool! Go thourgh levels like Hawaii, Moscow, New Jersey, Tampa,Vancouver and more! You can also unlock secret charters and levels, and you can make a trick, park, skater, and deck. It's fun! I give it a 9.7!

    Good music,good tricks, GREAT SKATERS! but not quite the "Thrasher" i was looking for. Rockstar get out there and Make a "THRASHER 2" and give the kids a game which is all skateboarding with the THUG spirit.

    By far, this is greatest skateboarding title ever. All of these ideas put together into one game will impress just about everyone. Get off your board, drive cars, a storyline, create your tricks, and put your face into the game. It's still almost impossible to imagin what Neversoft will do next. This game is also the most detailed game I have seen so far. Every where you look you can By far, this is greatest skateboarding title ever.

It's still almost impossible to imagin what Neversoft will do next. This game is also the most detailed game I have seen so far. Every where you look you can find some some details you have noticed before. This game also has the best level design in the series. Never before have I been able to pull off so many huge combos in the series, mainly because of the layout of the level. Trust me, pick up this game.… Expand

    An extremley hilarious story mode, and fun online play make this the best Tony Hawk Game ever to be released. Also creating your own tricks and parks is where it's at.

    I thought it was a pretty cool feature being able to get off and on your board, but you should be able to wear pantyhose and hump poles and eat cocaine and smoke some crack and swallow weed.

    Greatest game ever made period!!!!!! The gameplay is flawless and if you like Tony Hawk Pro Skater games and you should, this one will blow you away to a whole new level of gameplay never before experienced in the series. The game is worth every minute and should be at least considered by everybody as an essential title to every video game library.

    The Fifth game in the Tony Hawk series is better than ever with thrilling levels, graphics, and a bit of humor too. This time, you don't just go around and do stupid goals that mean nothing. This time, your the star- going from an unknown local skater in Jersey to becoming a very-known Pro. The fact that you can make the skater look like you is sick too.

    While the classic Tony Hawk gameplay is present, and still fantastic after all this time, the new story mode doesn't make as dramatic of a change as it probably could have.

    As utterly addictive as any of the earlier titles, you'll gladly pay for the privilege of being left with red-raw thumbs and rigid, claw-like hands.

    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]
