They do like to model one or two real maps per game. I think THAW ended up breaking the trend though.

THPS1 had Burnside, 2 had Skate Street and Marseilles, 3 had Skaters Island, 4 had Kona, UG1 had SPoT?

This isn't an exhaustive list, I'm doing g it from memory.

RIP SKaters Island

This gull/goal confusion might end up with you in a gaol.

Okay, I know it's not technically pronounced the same, after double checking, but still the visual similarity. And I swear I've heard it pronounced similarly to how it looks.

"Gaol" is literally the same word as "Jail". It's just the traditional spelling.

Looks like that's and end to Sparrow.

When do we learn head explosions?
It's a bit sad, considering how effective a character Sparrow was in THUG1.

I get that THUG 2 is one long humiliation conga line for Sparrow - and THUG1 is what makes that work - but it's a missed opportunity.

I will have to follow this. Mainly because the WR speedrun at AGDQ somehow made this interesting. I'll be honest, it seems like those "supposed to be stupid fun" games. Kinda like how American Wasteland was... I think.
By the way, will you consider showcasing the entire Pro Skater level after you beat the game?

Let me put it this way: You know when you play newer games and go back to an older game and everything feels off cause you are missing some features, it's a lot like that, but at break-neck speeds.

After all that trouble to find the arcade machine in the test run I was hoping you'd leave it to the end and ask if Zackcat had scene it. Because that, aside from trying to find the final Spatz was the most frustrating thing.

Actually, that's a good point. Does completing the full 1000 points in an area (as opposed to hitting the minimum to advance) actually affect anything? Or is it just giving the player some wiggle room?

It unlocks a few skaters and a movie. The unlocks are not worth the effort though, for some people, 100% is it's own reward.

He also spent some time fighting James Bond in 1973!

Also, this level is another one with lots of true-to-life details, such as the bawdy neon signs.

Also also, I'm pretty sure that if you added "is Spider-Man in real life" to Chad Muska's wiki, he'd have no desire to correct you.

I should probably note that I meant 100% in Story Mode/Classic Mode. Completing the gaps is bullshit.

Man, I totally mis-remembered. For some reason, I was thinking it was Shaun White in the game. When Vifs got there I was like, "Oh right. This kid. Who is he again?". I had no idea who he was when the game came out, so I guess that hasn't changed.

No FC because I don't have a 3DS. No 3DS. No Skype. I'm a bad goon.
