TONY HAWK'S UNDERGROUND 2
Skateboard icon Tony Hawk and Jackasshole Bam Margera (plus his tortured dad Phil) head up this skating action game that transcends the board with a multitude of crazy antics in the bag. Fellow Jackass alumni Wee Man is also there, as is Bob Bournquist, Eric Koston, Chad Musha, Nigel Beaverhausen and Mike Vallely. Story Mode sees these top skaters "kidnapped" by Bam and Tony, and taken on a world tour of skating mayhem, aptly named the World Destruction Tour. You get tips from Rodney Mullen as you start with training. When you fall, blood can splatter and you can add freaked out aggression when pissed off, even breaking your board. The metal, rock and punk soundtrack flows nicely with the onscreen psychosis, with mini-games and extra crap to be found all over the place, not limited to skateboards. Extra movie clips include Skatopia, a teaser for movies like Metallica's Some Kind Of Monster documentary and products like Hawk Clothing, Quicksilver, Element, Etnies, eS, Shorty's and Adio. Select between Easy, Normal, and Sick Modes depending on your skill level. Amusing for a short stretch if you're not a skate or Hawk & Bam fan.
