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

    Many new features really add to the game, including the moves and vehicles. Having two game modes included add to much more playtime, especially if you are a casual THPS player.

    Most of the new stuff seemed tacked on for the sake of having something new, and for a skateboarding game I found myself doing a whole lot of stuff "off the board". It kind of reminded me of all the on-foot missions in "Driver 3."

    The refinement of an excellent skateboarding engine with a surprisingly boring game built atop it, coupled with some fairly lame humor.

    I was OBSESSED with thug 1, i played it at least two hours a day(thanks to all the customization and a friend for multiplayer) until i got thug 2. i was shakey thinking thug 2 would be really gay, and...IT IS. but it's fun messing around. the levels are really cool and theres some cool new creat-a-things. i suggest people at least try it out if they aren't sure they will love it as much as i do.… Expand

    It's a mild improvement on THUG 1, but I still see THPS3 & 4 as being the best in the series.

    The graphics Sick and It is not on system link. The levels are big and there is a lot of replay value with all of the customization.

    This looks like a new Hawk as it's visuals hit a brand new level but does it ever take another step back in gameplay. There was a time when TH2 was the mainstay in any skaters homes but man would someone please let them know we are bored of the same thing. Re-invent it or let it die.… Expand
