You've been chosen by Tony Hawk to take on Bam Margera as your teams go on a World Destruction Tour. It's time to go globetrotting on an insane road trip. THUG 2 grinds in with a hilarious story mode, an unprecedented level of customization, and more moves than the Skate Gods could dream of. Grab your board, an arsenal of spray-paint... jump into the tour van and wreak havoc across the globe. World Destruction Tour: Hawk recruits YOU onto his team for a no rules, no limits world tour versus Bam Margera. You invade international cities and wreak havoc, proving yourself to the pros as you live the ultimate skateboard adventure. [Activision]

Offers enough new gameplay to please fans of the series. The GBA version of the game is very similar to the console versions and the major changes are certainly represented in this iteration.

The game's classic THPS-style arcade mode and three unlockable minigames add depth to the seven-stage story mode. [Dec 2004, p.156]

Overall this isn't bad, it just takes a lot of getting used to, particularly the isometric view. It's worth persevering, because, apart from actual skating, this is the most board-based fun you'll have on the move.

The GBA is the only system with five versions of the Tony Hawk franchise, and it's clear that, with THUG2, Vicarious Visions' Tony Hawk team is creatively tapped. Put to the task of bringing a fourth sequel to the handheld, the team just couldn't figure out a fresh new direction to take Tony Hawk.
