Skating around is still just as enjoyable as it's ever been. The Story mode remains - it's no longer about climbing the ranks, but we'll get to that in a minute - but for THUG 2 Neversoft has decided to reinstate the two-minute timed runs of the originals in a separate Classic mode, which is more challenging and arguably more satisfying than the free-roaming, purely task-oriented Story alternative. Over the years it's lost the big brash pictures of skateboards and the 'Pro Skater' title, and for this, the second Neversoft boarder to bear the Tony Hawk's Underground name, you actually have to pay attention to spot the lone skateboard in a montage of vans, cannons, bulls, modified lawnmowers and Jackass presenters.Īnd yet, for many, Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (or THUG 2) is probably the closest the series has been to its tight, twisty, tricked-out best since Pro Skater 3. Even a cursory evaluation of the box artwork ought to tell you that. You don't have to be a connoisseur of the Tony Hawk series to realise that it's not just about skateboarding any more.
