Tony Hawk Underground 2

The tone of this game is so gross and this sequel wallows in the worst aspects of skate culture, but the gameplay is great

I don't get the hate for this title. The story mode of this game doesn't string you into so many lame mini-games as the first THUG did and the freedom is better implemented. While I admit some of the levels this game adds are lame, they also bring back a plethora of old levels and the old classic mode which gives you an insane amount of content. They don't add any meaningful mechanic to the game but THUG 2 is Far better than THUG 1 just by cutting the garbage and on sheer content alone.

At this point Tony Hawk was just kind of unnecessary. THUG's open world and refined story helped sell a game that in and of itself had problems with diminishing returns. This just falls victim to another studio demanding a series go on longer than it should. That's not to say it isn't well made, it is quite refined as most Tony Hawk games were.

First one is better
