The character models in the cutscenes are so deeply cursed, that I don't know what to do with my life.
I'm 21, and decided to try the old first two Tony Hawk games on the PS1, and these were amazing. But my skateboard addiction was not fulfilled. I tried this PSP port of Tony Hawk Underground 2, and I'm AMAZED. A shit ton of amazing levels, with old levels as bonuses, a trick editor, a big solo campaign with semi open-world objectives, alongside a classic old school campaign, an amazing soundtrack, funny animations, and a great customization value (my character is a suited gentleman skeleton with the gold chain of Flavor Flav). And you have to think about it : it was released in 2005, when the DS only appears, and you have AN OPEN WORLD SKATEBOARDING GAME with a SHIT TON OF CONTENT, that you can play in your toilets or during a road trip ? Yeah, this is easily one of the best skate game ever made.
But it have some issues :
- The maps are often composed of tiny corridors, with the shitty camera and the sometimes clunky physics, this can be really tedious at times.
- No more skatepark creator, I'm sad.
- A few glitches here and there.
But nothing to stop the fun !

It;s THUG 2, but on the go. This game includes some more levels, missions and skaters than the original one. It plays pretty comfortable on the PSP, and includes everything the original one had. Good times

Best official Tony Hawk game due to variety of levels, movesets and overall feel. I play it on the Vita with 60fps hack
im amazed that it works on psp but besides that im not a huge fan of lvl designs
If it wasn’t for weird camera controls, this would be better than the home console versions. It’s a very 1:1 “demake” while even adding more levels.
THUG 2 remix is essentially THUG 2 but more, the new levels are pretty fun, the new cutscenes are alright (Eric's VA is different in the new scenes which is entertaining), and the new characters are nice. If you liked THUG 2, there's really no reason not to play this. The controls are a bit stiff and the lack of camera controls can be a bit rough, but not enough to be a significant issue.
Suprisingly faithful adaptation of the PS2 version that runs super well. As someone who plays THUGPro a lot I was able to jump in and go nuts without any issue.
