Tony Hawk's Underground 2, THUG 2, is the 6th game in the Tony Hawk's series. While if you have played THUG 1 you might be expecting an awesome game but honestly, this game blows. While the controls feel kinda tighter, and they add a few nice gameplay elements, everything else sucks... the Voice Acting and the Story being the bigest flaws, and honestly the graphics look almost the same if not worse then THUG 1.

But with that said, let me introduce you to Steve, the Main Character. Steve gets brought in to the World Destruction Tour and has to do all kind of wacky/jackass type things to win big points, and I guess skate along the way. And because Steve is such a good skateboarder, I will be playing on sick, along with my co-commentator: ZackCat.

This will be a semi-informative LP, I will be getting every goal on sick and I will try to get all the goodies that are to be gotten. Please note that ZackCat and I will be talking over the cut scenes because I do not want to force you to bare them alone, but :siren:no spoilers:siren:, this game is stupid and dumb, and I hate the story, but don't spoiler it for anyone, spoiler tags are fine though.

Updates will be about 15-30 minuites long, normaly on the lower end of that scale, and updates will come out once a week. I have started recording ahead of the LP so something doesn't happen like in the THUG 1 LP.

One of the things stated early on was earning points which will basically be the new goals. Will you be doing all of them per chapter?

Yah I plan on doing all the goals per chapter, and I'm going to want to kill myself for it. Also I will be going through classic mode too.

I dunno. It felt like a stupid gimick. I didn't feel like it actually added anything to the game. And wasn't this the only game to use it? I can't remember if it was in THAW or P8...

It shows up in THAW almost in the same exact way, and it's kinda in P8 but it's slightly different, at least if my memory is correct.

But of all the things in THUG2, focus mode is what bothers you?

So I used my voting program from the last thread to count the votes, but it kinda messed up a bit due to formatting issues. So for the next vote if you could do the first and last name surrounded by a bold tag. Not that it really matters for this vote because it was pretty clear that Bob won this time, and I'm to lazy to edit the text to make it formated correctly, or count things manually.

Bob Burnquist got 11 many votes
Mike Valley got 3 many votes
Rodney Mullen got 1 many votes
Chad Muska got 1 many votes

Honestly when THUG2 came out, I didn't really mind the story that much cause I liked jackass back then, but now that I'm older I'm just kinda uhhhh about it. I guess as someone who tried to learn how to skateboard as a kid, THUG 1 just seemed like a more awesome story to me. Plus I played THUG 1 way more back when I was younger so I have a lot more nostalgia for it to overlook some of its crap.

That video was strung together really well all in the one (presumably) go you went at it. Voting Rodney Mullen because.

I think in most levels you need to actually do it as a goal or as a means to a goal, so it won't be that big of a deal.

Also I can't believe neither of you picked up on Star Wars Kid. This game is a stockpile of dated material.

Yah the cannons are more of an easter egg than a goal. Also we picked up on Star Wars Kid, but it was funnier, to me, to make fun of Zackcat.

So are there any special characters that control well? Or are at least fun to play? Or are funny, or interesting, or not offensively terrible in every way?

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.

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?

On topic, this was about where I stopped playing as a kid, because it got to the point where I wasn't good enough to get the 750 points to continue, because I was am bad at video games.
