More unique levels for this mode would have been a big help.
#THUG 2 PC XBOX CONTROLLER BINDINGS SERIES#
While it's nice to have a separate mode like this, the concept of working to unlock levels that you've either already played in the story mode or remember from earlier games in the series makes the mode a little underwhelming. Many of the game's levels are the same levels you see in the story mode, but a number of levels from previous entries in the series-all the way back to the school and downhill jam levels from the very first game-appear here.

Underground 2 also contains "classic mode," which brings back the two-minute run timer and goal structure of the first three Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games. Fortunately, that's not all that THUG2 has to offer. Despite having three difficulty levels, players should be able to burn through the story mode in around five to seven hours. All in all, the story mode is satisfying in its structure, but it's also short. This also triggers a cutscene, which puts some more backstory to the Bam versus Tony adventure.

Once you've earned a specific number of goal points, you'll be able to move forward.

Each goal is worth a different amount of points. While this approach frees the game of clutter and on-screen icons, it also means you're going to be spending a lot more time reading text in the pause menu. If you want the skinny on what, exactly, you're supposed to be doing, you have to pause the game and go into your view goals screen, which will give you more details on what you need to do. There aren't any on-screen indicators to point you in the direction of a goal, though if you happen to do a trick off of a piece that is part of a combo goal, the rest of the pieces will light up. Rather than having people on the street that you can speak with to get your goals, you're given a list and set off into the world. Goals are handled a little differently this time around. You'll run into Steve-O, who rides around on a wheeled mechanical bull, and you'll meet an Australian in a small go-kart. Some of these new characters don't even ride boards. You'll also find two other skaters-or at least, people who ride skateboards, since it seems weird to call Ben Franklin or a shrimp vendor "skaters"-hidden in various spots on each level, and each time you encounter a new skater, you'll unlock another set of goals for that level. You start out each level as your created skater, though you'll also pick a pro skater as a partner. THUG2's story mode is a whirlwind tour that gives you four skaters and a mess of goals to accomplish in each level. So your goals don't focus so much on becoming a star of the skateboarding world here, you're just trying to fly around the world and break stuff. The game's story mode essentially plays out like a Viva La Bam scavenger hunt, with two teams-one led by Tony Hawk and the other by Bam Margera-setting out on the World Destruction Tour.

Yes, professional shopping cart destroyer Bam Margera, and his brand of destructive fun, figure much more heavily into the latest Tony Hawk game. Now Playing: Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Video Review By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
