    This series is getting really old now in its 5th year. It's time to let go. Nothing has changed since TH2 except they keep trying to make it like the GTA games. Graphics look like first gen PS2 which isn't acceptable on Xbox. Time for this developer to find a new style of game to run into the ground.

    This looks like a new Hawk as it's visuals hit a brand new level but does it ever take another step back in gameplay. There was a time when TH2 was the mainstay in any skaters homes but man would someone please let them know we are bored of the same thing. Re-invent it or let it die.

    It's a mild improvement on THUG 1, but I still see THPS3 & 4 as being the best in the series.

    The graphics Sick and It is not on system link. The levels are big and there is a lot of replay value with all of the customization.

    I was OBSESSED with thug 1, i played it at least two hours a day(thanks to all the customization and a friend for multiplayer) until i got thug 2. i was shakey thinking thug 2 would be really gay, and...IT IS. but it's fun messing around. the levels are really cool and theres some cool new creat-a-things. i suggest people at least try it out if they aren't sure they will love itI was OBSESSED with thug 1, i played it at least two hours a day(thanks to all the customization and a friend for multiplayer) until i got thug 2. i was shakey thinking thug 2 would be really gay, and...IT IS. but it's fun messing around. the levels are really cool and theres some cool new creat-a-things. i suggest people at least try it out if they aren't sure they will love it as much as i do.… Expand

    PS2 port with bad graphics, many of you who played THUG 1st will remember great graphics on xbox but the 2nd is just ported over. If you havent played THUG 1 get that instead and skip THUG 2.

    Tony Hawk`s Underground 2 pairs the classic Tony Hawk feeling with a crazy new story-mode. And the do it great. Graphics are stunning, controls divine and the levels are pure fun. And the multiplayer is a party, even without online support! Big fun!

    This is maybe the last good Tony Hawk game, before the franchise went to hell. Tony Hawk and Jackass together works just fine. Overall rating: 8.6.

    Yes, it's similar to previous Hawk games at heart - certainly cause for concern for players burned out on the series - but what a monster game it is. [Dec 2004, p.87]

    THUG2 may not match THUG's charm and novelty, but it's still one of the most addictive and satisfying experiences out there.

    It's everything you ever wanted from the last couple of Hawk incarnations but these are things that were never included; a unique bobby dazzler of a story and loads of depth that promises to wow us all.
