Summary

Much like THUG, but with a cool new twist to it.

The Good

What I liked about this game: New customizable things, such as voice, many new types for arms, height, muscles, face mask, etc. and the fact that you can upload a picture of your face ONTO the character (from USB through digital camera, or upload from internet)! But now enough of that, its time to move onto the levels. Most of the levels were pretty expansive, with the opportunity to switch your character to a Pro skater, or the "Guest" skater, such as a clown, and a "Secret" skater, which really isn't a skater at all, since they use motorized karts. There are many unlock-able things in the levels if you either randomly do something, or you put 2 and 2 together and figure out something.

The Bad

What I didn't like about this game was that it seemed too much like THUG and the THPS games, although there were some new tricks, and characters (which there HAVE to be with a game like this). It seemed that the game was over too early, and that's just about all I can find wrong...

The Bottom Line

This is generally a pretty good game - 8/10 - which delivers almost the same gameplay of THUG (Tony Hawk's Underground), but due to some minor things which degrade overall gameplay, it doesn't get the 9/10 it could have.
