About the Game
The fifth game in the series, Tony Hawk's Underground is the first game to have a true career mode. You begin the game as a local skater whom nobody knows.
Story & Setting
Most cities are split into different chapters, with each chapter opening new goals.
Gameplay & Core Systems
As your out skating, you see a flyer for a pro who's coming to your city to demo. You begin in New Jersey, which acts as a sort of training stage, where goals are simple. THUG introduces a new system; walking. You can get off your skateboard to run or walk around the level. If there's a high tower you want to jump off of, get off your board, climb to the tower (by climbing a ladder or shuffling across a wire), get back on your board, and jump down.
Standout Features
- Acid Drop: One of the new tricks associated with this is the Acid Drop, which can launch you off an opposing pipe, allowing you to pull off 1080's and up.
- These are used for goals, but can be unlocked to drive whenever and wherever.
- Next to the standard Create-a-Park and Create-a-Skater, you can now create your own decks and your own tricks.
Modes & Ways to Play
The PlayStation 2 version supports online play.
