    This seems one of the best games although i think they should make a new game called the next generation of tony hawk underground.

    This is the best skateboard game ever made. The Tony Hawk series has evolved into greatness, and the who knows what the future holds.

    This game is not even half as good as it could be. Even though the skateboarding part is good, the part of the driving and running is extremely boring and annoying. This game is also a little bit easier.

    It's a great game, but probably not as good, quality wise, as thps3 or thps4. The story, although an awesome idea, feels a bit uninspired.

    This game is awesome, its not just about skateboarding, you also have to get off your board and do something, save a friend from druggies, or get a student's purse back... its awesome, and there are soooo many places to play in.... this is a must have for all TONY HAWK fans!

    This game is cool. Especially since you can import your own face onto it.

    This is the greatest Tony Hawk game yet, and the options open to you give hours of replay, but the story mode could have connected better. The creat-a-park is more immense and the fact that you can download your face on the PS2 version really sets the line for future game abilities. Overall, it is really fun and PS2's ability to go online will have you playing for hours and hours. Go buy it!

    I've been a fan of the Tony Hawk Games for a wile and this is the best one yet. By Pro Skater 3 I was bord of the same old Skateboarding games. THPS4 gave use some new stuff. But Underground Actualy had a FUN that's right FUN single player mode. Usally I just punch in a corce unlock cheat and play them on Free Skate but I was not only able to beat this one's single player I've been a fan of the Tony Hawk Games for a wile and this is the best one yet.

The THPS games had no story, you just did random tasks to unlock leavles untill you won a compitition and went to the creadits. But this one had a story about a Skater Punk that gose Pro. It's kinda cheassy but it's better than not knowing what the hell your doing for no reason. It's a change for the better.… Expand

    This is one of the best games ever made for the Xbox. I'll never forget it, it's great in many ways; soundtracks, story, style. This game is filled with good music and fun.

    Tony Hawk's Underground was a game I never got much time with as a teenager I was more familiar with the sequel but I've always loved the older Tony Hawk games and decided to finally finish this one. Super solid tracklist which I feel even the less liked newer games have down really well and it controls great. I had a **** blast playing the multiplayer modes with a friend and giggling likeTony Hawk's Underground was a game I never got much time with as a teenager I was more familiar with the sequel but I've always loved the older Tony Hawk games and decided to finally finish this one.

    Literally no reason to play this game nowadays, just play any of the EA skate games.

    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]

    The on-foot play mechanic and the expanded story mode stand as the game's weakest elements. [Mar 2004, p.85]
