    An irresistible package born of the classic mold but with an invigorating twist. [Nov 2004, p.140]

    Players who didn't voluntarily step off the train with "Hawk 4" or last year's "Underground" will find more to love here -- more new tricks, an even more streamlined system of goal selection, a ridiculous selection of goals to select, and levels that hurt to try and comprehend.

    The days when the new Tony Hawk games were one of the highlights of the year are gone, but THUG 2 still offers plenty of joy for gamers that haven't left the genre behind.

    While Underground tried to seamlessly mix its diversity, humour and gameplay, it was always obvious when you were being dragged away from the combo system at the heart of the series. Thankfully, THUG2 makes a much better fist of keeping classic Tony Hawk's gameplay at the heart of the tasks. Even when skating as Benjamin Franklin or a shrimp vendor, the focus remains on skateboarding. [Dec 2004, p.102]

    Tony hawk games have been getting a bit stale and this game does little to push the series forward, but it keeps the solid gameplay that was seen in every other tony hawk game. its a solid game in a solid franchise. theres unique characters that are added that mix the game up a bit, but nothing to make this a revolutonary game. the next tony hawk installment will hopefully change the formula for the better, but for now we have decent fun of THUG 2.… Expand
