This game is DA BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nov 23, 2006
This game is awesome. SERIOUSLY! Its got a bit of blood in it when you crash. Some of the songs have a few bad words in it. But oh well. :P
I got hooked on this game for 4 months. Then I beat the game. It has awesome graphics. You can even get off your board and spray your own tag xD
Its got killer songs. If your a Rock fan you should seriously buy this game. It has songs by Jimmy Eat World, The Explosions, and a few others.
I've blocked out the rap songs just because I don't like rap. :P Then they've got a few oldies. Like Frank Sanatra and Johnny Cash.
You can even make your own tricks! The more flips and ollies you put in there, the higher the points! But they're really hard to land. You'd have to get some major air to pull it off.
The story line is the best. You get "abducted" by 2 "masked" men while your showing off in your neighborhood. You wake up and sitting next to you are the biggest skater stars in the world! Then one of the masked men pulls out a chainsaw and almost stabs you. ROFL. But it turns out to be Bam Margera (aka The Idiot lol) Then Tony Hawk pops up and explains this whole "World Destruction Tour" You have to complete all these goals to get major points. You pass through like 6 major cities: (in Order of game)
Boston, Barcelona, Berlin, Australia, New Orleans, and Skatetopia (I don't know if Skatetopia is real or not :P)
But while your pulling off some major air in the Story Mode, you gotta destroy stuff. DUH!
Overall this is a seriously awesome game. GO BUY IT!

Short but sweetMay 07, 2005
By 25 I borrowed this game from a friend because i knew if this game was anything like the first, it wouldn't take me more then three days to beat it. I was right about that, but just because this game is short doesn't mean it is bad. It still is fun to play even after you beat it.
the goal system is very different from the first because, 1. You don't talk to people to do goals you just do them and 2. The point isn't to complete all the goals you just have to get points. Another thing that is different is the characters. You only play as yourself 1/2 of the time. The other time you play as a pro skater, some werid dude on a skateboard (a different onne every level) and a guy on in a vechile.
Pros
1. Game is very addictive.
2. You can make your own apperances, parks, goals, tricks and graffti tags.
3. Great destrution scenes and hilaroius moves (you can throw tomatoes at people and you can fart during a trick but you have to beat the australia level to do that.)
4. Levels are all across the globe.
5. Vecile charcters are very fun to play as.
Cons
1. Short
2. Classic mode ( a tonk hawk pro skater typr of thing) was very boring.
3. creating your own graftii tag can be hard.
4. since you don't talk to people for the goals, some of them are really hard because no one explains them ( there is only the bare explanation but don't worry most of the time that is enough)
Ther is just one more thing that i want to tell you because it is neither a pro or con. The sound track is very strange. There are some great songs like high anxiety and thats why they call it a union, but the types of music vary from rap to frank sinatra.

tony's backOct 27, 2004
Tony hawk has a new game and it rocks! But the story is a little phony because bam is tony's friend and they just have a round the world contest. You also cant ride in a car even for missions.
I also reccomend this game to kids who did not like tony hawk pro skater because the new story mode is worth playing.

Cool GameNov 26, 2004
By Anne This is a cool game. You can play as weird characters. Also you get to do weird goals. A few of the characters you can play as are a bull fighter and an austrailian in a go-kart. The goals usually end up with something destructive happening. There is also classic mode. The graphics are good too.

Capitalizing on Bam was a bad idea.Jul 01, 2006
By Drew Jenkins
"Hison"
I have owned every single Tony Hawk game, and played each one a ton. I thought the THPS's were great, but after beating THUG on easy and normal, my opinion was that it was the best so far. I loved the level of customization. So when THUG2 rolled around I was excited. After playing through easy modes on classic and story, I was dissapointed. "World Destruction Tour"? Destruction of the series, that is.
In story mode, Bam is the main focal point. Goals consist of exploding/vandalizing/breaking buildings/cars/people, a la Viva la Bam. Tony seems like a supporting character in a role he doesn't belong in. Also, advancing yourself up to a pro level and your friend stealing your glory in THUG made a true enemy in Eric. But there's no drive to complete your goals besides destruction in 2.
Also, there's no vehicle option, as in THUG. Instead, there are 3 extra characters for each level, and one has some sort of mobile device besides a skateboard. These characters are difficult to control, and the goals are annoying. The option of a car was way better.
One of the few good points in THUG2 was the level of customation. It had all THUG had and more. I actually had fun creating a graphic, and the create a trick is just as good as THUGs.
This game was the worst in the series HANDS-DOWN. I would take THPS1 over this any day. I have not yet played THAW, but I've heard it was bad. I can only hope Project 8 will redeem the series.
