The green woman is like basically a green screen you made it so easy for Eric to edit himself into the footage!
I like this
☠️☠️☠️☠️
you are aware that this is a video game and it is a work of fiction therefore eric does not exist right ?
Bryan Shuping Do you really believe you needed to state this?
Bryan Shuping ur the epitome of thinkin ur smart but ur actually stupid n out of the loop
14:08
- You could collect the KISS letters and watch a concert
-Ride the vehicle in that level and go off the ramp.
-Find all the gaps.
Plasma that’s cool
yeah i liked that level
I'd say only the first one is worth doing. The vehicles suck and doing that high jump isn't as fun as it sounds and finding all the gaps is more of a completion thing than a fun thing to do.
I never liked Kiss.
i came here to say that, too! But i agree with others, that only the first thing is really worth it
Tony Hawk's Underground was one of two Tony hawk games which I completed 100% That means all those stupid gaps too
sonyerikson same
same here, just did it a few weeks ago again for the nostalgia lol
sonyerikson i 100% pro skater 2, underground, underground 2, and American wasteland.
currently doing thps2 and thug 2 :) so fun
Love speedrunning THUG2 so much fun
The soundtrack was killer!
hell yeah, this game got me into the band Kiss and Punk rock
Yes
Once or twice a year I make time to do a play through of underground. First played it when I was 11 in 2003, to this day still one of my favourite PS2 games over all.
Favourite flavour
"Tony Hawk 2 was only 3 years old at the time" that blew my mind. Felt like 10 years back then
I actually love the off board missions cuz when i was a kid they scared the shit out of me, and the nostalgia of that fear is kinda hilarious when i go back and play this game
I feel you here
you forgot to mention the alternate ending where you elbow erics face
megapanka shows the fucker right to take my damn tape
Do you know why that happened? I finished the game 3 times, eric got elbowed once. I had to do the final challenge twice
John Jacob i think you have to beat it on sick
John Jacob I spammed both Bumpers and Triggers on PlayStation during the whole cutscene and I always got the Eric knockout ending. Not sure about Xbox though.
ThatOneDumbGuy On the GameCube you have to beat the story multiple times.
Best Tony Hawk game EVER! Period. I played Every single Tony Hawk game growing up (I’m old now smh) but out of all of them which were great , but Underground is the best and I completed all of them over and over.
Tony Hawk underground was my first skateboarding game... and one of my first ps2 games overall. I remember not having a memory card and trying to pass the whole story mode in one afternoon... furthest I got was Hawaii xD
megapanka it got me skating :)
Same here bro I could finnish it because I sweat the game but I didn’t even mind starting the game again the nxt day 😂
I think THUG without question had the best story
Feral the Earthworm it was the only good story in the whole series. Besides underground 2. Which was eh
Definitely the best story !
Better than American Wasteland?
@@JmanRising yes
American wastelands story was good too
no one mentions the fact you can darkslide in game and it resets your balance meter... awesome glitch made graffiti the best game mode ever
Gimpzilla you only had to double tap grind to reset your balance meter
@@MmmmGoodBoy the Smash Bros Melee of Tony Hawk games
Evan Rand I’m not sure what you mean?
@@MmmmGoodBoy late reply but: Smash Bros. Melee is notorious for it’s advanced techniques that developers had no idea were in the game or would impact how the game is played at a high level, while still being loved by hardcore and casual players alike. THUG1 and 2 have a bunch of exploits that let you push the boundaries of the game, but the game can be played just fine without them; similar to Smash Bros Melee in a lot of ways.
I used to play this on GameCube all the time and 100% it I think five times.
Quon Snooder ya i played on the GameCube version too
No one ever talks about the game cube version:(
It didn't have all these timers for some reason
This game means a lot to me. It was the first game I ever finished. I was 10/11 years old and had never listened to some of the music or seen some of the skateboard stuff in it. I played it for years and it brought me into a whole new sub-genre I'd never heard of and probably put my life on the road I am on today, listening to the music I listen too now.
I just realized, at 14:20 you mentioned that it was the first time nostalgia for the older games came in, when in THPS3 you could unlock THPS1 levels
Was looking for this
Underground is hands down the best tony hawk game
If You combined the story of Underground with the gameplay of Skate 2, it would be the best game ever.
How you gonna mctwist in Hawaii though?
@@survive678 improvise, adapt, overcome
The soundtrack was great especially Quasimoto
NATAZ Fuck yes. THUG introduced me to two of my favorite albums of all time (The Unseen and The Cold Vein.)
i dont think people are mistaking you for Eric. i think eric edited the footage so that you were not in it and eric was that one who did the mctwist
zeoalexo I thought that too but lol how?
@@napalmkitty6686 he probably swapped the PC for him in the footage
Unless Eric has professional equipment, I do t think he could do this (Keep in mind, this is in 2003/2004)
@@baarks this is Eric Sparrow we're talking about. His skeezy ass found a way
@xs3bx I highly doubt Eric is good enough to successfully make that gap
I remember when I played this game I edited all the basic tricks on trick editor to look slower and smoother.
You forgot to mention the alternate ending
If you complete the game two times on ANY difficulty you will get an alternate end to this amazing game
This is the only channel I'm happy to see an ad on. Love this channel! Glad you're getting some revenue!
Replaying this game right now for PS2 and it still holds up! The first game I had was THPS4 and my best friend had 3. I also had THUG2. Over the years I dwindled my PS2 games (BIG MISTAKE) as I got a 360 and now a PS4. I'm waiting from THPS4, THUG2, American Wasteland and Project 8 to come in the mail as we speak! So excited to relive some old memories and make new ones with the last two games I mentioned which I never owned! I honestly wish they would remake THUG with a different story with the same premise and theme with different levels.
"Chad, chillin chillin"
to me american wasteland was way more fun to play, there were more colors, building the skate ranch was fun and the story wasn't even terrible. i guess. haven't played it in a while. i enjoyed this video though!
ThomWWE and in American wasteland they finally get the 360 hardflip right, which I'm sure radrat will appreciate haha.
American wasteland perfected what THUG started. The BMX controls were great too. The story wasn't that bad either. Better than thug2's story
marktwist the bmx control was terrible. Compared to an actual bmx game at the time.
American Wasteland was one of my least favorite THPS games but everyone is different. I liked that THUG was still a skate game that slightly strayed away from skating but American Wasteland was just way too all over the place for me. The first Undeground and THPS 3 will forever hold a special place in my heart.
marktwist Thug 2's story focused more on fun and didn't take itself too seriously. We all could learn something from Thug 2.
the reason why that one of my absolute favorite is the physics
theyre absolutely perfect
even now, i love to just jump in a skate around
This was my all time favorite. When I went to college, I brought my PS2 with me JUST for THUG, THUG2, and Need For Speed Carbon. This will always be my favorite game of all time, not even just my favorite Tony Hawk game.
The Game Cube version was pretty cool 100% every time
LOL my parents saw the commercial for this game with the naked chicks dancing in the window, and they instantly didn't want me having this one xD
Great review! had so much fun playing this as a kid, will never forget that McTwist over the chopper!
Maybe the biography of skaters as a series,who change the skate scene dramatically(special tricks, unique video parts.sponsors,history of pro models with pictures etc).Of course you can find them online but your insight is one of a kind.Magazines tend to have a specific view in comparison with yours who studies the material and combine it.I really like your scientific approach,keep killing it!
Eric didn’t edit himself into the footage, the guy during slam city doesn’t mention the helicopter and the main character said that was my spot, so Eric just had someone else film him doing the trick over the gap no helicopter
the tony hawk games actually feel really good to play on the gamecube if you like the controller.
THUG2 was always my favorite since I was a kid, with THPS2 being a close second. I never got to play THUG1 back in the day, but seeing how much praise the game got online, even over THUG2, I decided to finally play it (GC version), and I have to say, it became my favorite Tony Hawk game.
I really liked the story, even if it's not as amazing as some people made it out to be, and it was super fun to go through. The soundtrack is probably a close second favorite just behind THPS2. But the reason why this is my favorite overall is because I think this is where they mastered the gameplay before they started bloating it with unnecessary stuff, getting off your board was the last major important addition to the gameplay for me. I'm not a big fan of focus mode from THUG2, and the freak outs are just filler. I don't like all the stuff that was added to getting off your board in THAW like hitting people or throwing your board (that one frustrated more than anything), and I don't care about riding BMXs in a skateboarding game.
Aside from the cars, everything THUG1 added felt like it enhanced the gameplay, which is why it became my new favorite.
Bravo! Couldn’t agree more.
Game cube had great controls for all these games
I can't tell if this is sarcasm. lol
@@rigobertorosenbaum9838 same lol gamecube ports were meh the only reason i picked them up for the 64 because thps3 was the last game made for the console and 2 had some secret levels.
Ps2 too
This was the game that made me into the Tony Hawk Pro I am now.
I remember only playing 2 on my N64 and 3 on my Xbox so much back in the day and then I remembering renting this game and boy howdy.
I got the game later that year for my birthday and now every year, I'll pop it in just to beat it 100% on sick mode. :p
it's not a perfect game by no means but it's one of those games that always stood out to me.
earthbound, red dead redemption, fallout 3, majoras mask, sonic 2, GTA vice city and Tony Hawk Underground.
it'll always be one of my favorite games of all time just because of the story, soundtrack, and how going from 3 to this was such a huge in the franchise (I didn't play 4 until years later).
it also got me much more into skateboarding when I was younger ;)
If you get up to the rooftop in hawaii before the goal, you can enter the elevator and basically skip the mission
I recommend trying this again on the 360 (it's backwards compatible). The black and white buttons are mapped to the bumpers, and getting on and off your board is super easy. You wouldn't believe the difference it makes. Also, the 360's HDMI will make the image a bit cleaner. Also in terms of audio and visual fidelity, the Xbox version is better than both its PS2 and GameCube counterparts
I remember once I got into an argument with an old housemate of mine. I was saying that the PS2 was objectively better than gamecube for THUG because on ps2 you could press R2 for reverts and L1 & R1 to spin, whereas on gamecube you had to use R & L for spins but R & L simultaneously to revert. This caused me to bail quite a lot while I got used to it and in the end I never reached the same high score on GC as I did on PS2. I never played the Xbox version but what you said about spins, reverts and getting off your board at least provided me with a form of confirmation bias. thank you.
Thug is my "classic" but I loved the tricks in and spots in thug 2 plus it has classic mode and say what you want the story mode is entertaining.
Austrailia , School, Berlin , Love Park , Bermuda triangle/portal to hell. So many sick spots
And awesome soundtrack
The trick I always made was Kick flip melon with the star and finish edited to look slick
I love this game! the graphics/gameplay is good, the characters are good, and I mostly love the story and soundtrack
my absolute favorite TH entry in the series. I remember at the time I never felt more inspired to skate. Those hopes died fast but I had a faux hawk. Viva La Revolution - The adicts
I finished it a month ago maybe (that's how I discovered your channel, redirected from similiar videos). I remember when I was 1st time playing it, the story just blew me away. I was waiting for you to name the most important novelty - the wall push (might spell it wrong). It helps stack the combos a lot.
IMHO, it's the best game to play with your buddy: descent levels, stable framerate, fast loadings. When we play 2 player mode, we usually play THUG.
Sparrow is a jerk you love to hate, I think he became a mascot sorta and it'd be cool to see him in P8 or THPSHD.
You actually didn't have to squeeze on the walls in Hawaii, you can actually just jump and grab the ledge on the other side. Your grab "hitbox" I guess? (not a king of these terms yet), is pretty forgiving in the game. Made climbing that building easier.
Aron, the Indiegogo campain for the Tony Hawk games documentary (Pretending I'm a Superman) has just been launched, along with the official trailer. Please consider making a video on it in order to help the project spread out and get donations. You can find it on thpsfilm(dot)com or search for "Pretending I'm a Superman The Tony Hawk Game Story" on Indiegogo, or even look for it on icebears4ever's channel here on RUclips. Thanks! (I'm not affiliated with the project btw, just a fan of the series).
Nostalgia popped up with THPS3. it had the roswell level, warehouse and some other one. lawyered. awesome vid tho
I found this in a clearance bin at Gamestop around 2005. It's been my favorite video game since.
I remember playing this as a really young kid (4 years old) then finally playing through it in its entirety this last summer. I'm torn between whether this or American Wasteland is my favorite.
You missed a lot of stuff lol the kiss level you complete these challenges and it turns into a kiss concert it's kind of cool actually 😂
The Gamecube version was the best in regards to the pressure flip/nollie issue. The GC controller triggers were "pressure" sensitive. They would respond to light presses and then after pushing enough you would get a separate click response. I never thought about how annoyed xbox and ps2 players would be XD
Finding all the gaps was a big goal back in the day. We also spent ages on multiplayet
I consider the Underground to be one of the best series in PS2 history. American Wasteland was also an amazing game, but I definitely have the most hours on the first Underground out of any skating game ever made, even Skate 3.
I don't blame you. There's a LOT to do in this game. I wish I could have completed it more thoroughly for the channel
To be fair, you went right to “sick” difficulty, which is a huge step up from normal. Many of those timers don’t exist on easier difficulties & the ones that do have much more time
Such a long game? It's too short lol definitely my fave Tony Hawk game. They need to make another skating game with an actual storyline
THUG was my favorite. I just played and enjoyed it yesterday.
Yo Rad Rat,Im telling you the best system to play thug and thug2 is on a GameCube,I kno right?I just remember it being way easier than other systems.
Sniffrox Fasho I knew it felt easier on GameCube I had this on ps2 as a kid but a couple months ago I played it on a friend's GameCube and it felt way easier
I never played other versions besides gc but I agree it feels easier
It didn't have the timers for most missions. Which made it easier
The Manhattan line got me too. Once you get off the anchor, get off your board in mid-air and caveman the first powerline. It takes a bit to get used to the trajectory, but the rest is all a really long line around the level. ;)
Don't know if this was mentioned before, but the double-tap darkslide resets your grind balance meter, allowing you to do huge combos
Just replayed this last week. Def still fun
No Love for the Gamecube Version
There's one feature I'd hope you check out for this game, but it's only on the PS2. Could you eventually test out the Eyetoy camera with Tony Hawk Underground, cause in create-a-skater, there's an option that allows you to add your face on the skater by taking a picture of yourself with the device. I always wanted try it and know how it looked. Please review it. That way we'll know if it's good or actually sucks.
All those challenges that were super hard were that way on purpose in the hard difficulty. It was meant for people who were replaying or wanted more challenge. If you wanted an easier play through for a quick review, don’t play the hardest difficulty.
Definitely my favorite Tony Hawk game because of the story
I remember playing this in the display at best buy and thinking how cool it was to get off your board and thought the graphics were insane. Wow lol
This game is great. I picked it up again recently for $3 and play it on my Xbox 360. Beat it 4 times since I got it again.
It's probably my favorite ngl
lol how is Eric at the end of the game just like Muska at the start? Chad just gives away his board to a guy he just met while Eric says if he doesn’t get enough money, he’s not skating... Just because they both have a cellphone and a car doesn’t mean they’re the same person.
I enjoyed your review but I never once had to go out of my way to max out my stats like you said to beat the story mode.. either way the game was an amazing point in videogame history. Ps adding the cars/driving missions was a really cool break in the action and as a kid I was like "whoa." I also think everyone had that feeling just stepping off of the skateboard for the first time
Hey I know this is an old video and a lot of people probably gonna look over this but I'm pretty sure the black or white button on the Xbox controller works as the revert as well. It's just kinda weird switching over to them but it's better then spinning. I learned this when I played thps4 for xbox. I think it should work. Maybe that makes these reverts on the original Xbox better so you can have the graphics and control as well idk
the climbing stuff was pretty easy. for the hotel one, once you get to the wire you just grind to the top. the finding stuff goals were super annoying for me.
You misunderstood the eric stealing footage part, eric stole the part where you jumped onto the roof with all of the flags, the part you film right before the helicopter jump. He keeps all of your footage but only edits himself into the roof jump.
Sophisticated Dinosaur why am i barely realizing this holy shite
As someone who absolutely loved this game when it was new, there is one detail on which I couldn't disagree more: 2:30 where you complain about the 180 toe flip. I never did pressure flips in this game either. (You were correct about those IMO), but my favorite new trick was the 180 kickflip. Why? Like the 180 pressure which you disliked, it spins a 180 super fast without influencing your normal axis of rotation. This allows a proper kickflip 360 to be executed for the first time in the entire series! Now you can combo a 180 kickflip with a 180 in the same direction to achieve rapidly spinning and wicked looking flip 360. If you're often bailing on that trick, I can only think of 2 possibilites.
1: You don't understand rotating tricks in these games. Completely opposite to real skating, tricks in THProSkate game are perfectly consistent. If you can do a flip trick once you can do it perfectly every single time in all 4 main stances. and even do it with your eyes closed. Same goes for rotating 180s. It doesn't matter what the graphics display. The game determines if you landed a clean spin based on the time spent spinning. You may look like you're spinning more, but if you hold the command for the same duration as any spin divisible by 180, you will literally never bail. I can't imagine falling in this game from missing a 180. The physics are so forgiving you can literally land at 90 degrees and roll away at full speed.
2: You're a complete fraud, and you never truly played these games. Sure, you may have owned them for years. You probably even spent literally hundreds if not 1000's of hours tied to televisions with the game displayed, but all you ever mastered was randomly and sloppily mashing buttons while staring at the combo meter. How is it even possible for someone to accidentally do the "wrong" trick in this game? Either you do it or not, It's only pressing a button! If there's not enough space or air to do a certain trick, then don't friggin do it! Do a different one instead! If you're not strictly doing tricks that you can land with the circumstances available to you, then you are obviously just hitting all the buttons at once without any clue of what will happen. if that is the case, I can only presume that you're a massive fraud.
Say it ain't so Rat!.
I am pretty sure the 360 hardflip is spinning the correct way actually. Great reviews though man, keep it up!
Clear or translucent wheels? What happened to em?
3 year old video but the Hawaii hotel part was painful to watch. You can pretty much walljump in this game against a wall, you can grab in a lot of places where you didn't (such as 7:15) and when you are hanging from a ledge or cable, you jump and grind instantly (like in 6:48).
Hey Rad Rat, I played a lot of Tony Hawks games as a young man and I got to say that games started really good and then the more of them came out the worse they become. I know at some point, they started to re-create some of the Tony Hawk games. What I think would be really awesome is if they would remade Tony Hawks Underground. I played almost all the Tony Hawk games and Underground is my favorite. I don't know why they haven't recreated the first underground at all by now since its 2022. What do you think?
I always understood it as Eric just stole your spot and filmed his own part up on the roof and doing the roof to roof gap and he just kept your footage for himself.
the only reason the black button is out of your way is because you're not using the original Duke controller which was the Superior controller
the skatepark creator mode was dope af
That is the first time that i see that challenge done like that 7:00 i had always just jumped and grabbed the ledges using the R button on Gamecube
I think this was the last tony hawk game to add anything useful to the movelist
stuff like the natas spin and graffiti in thug 2 were kinda meh and I never used them, also I think this game had the best maps
jersey, manhattan, hawaii, tampa, and vancouver (for some reason) were some of my favourites to just hop into, and all the maps were huge and still somehow dense, except for san diego, idk 2/3rds of the map felt dead, but it had some interesting areas at least
When doing spins, I use the D-Pad rather than the triggers cause I found it easier to do the revert. And the fact that I am used to do them on the PS1 & N64 controllers.
That was my first thps I’ve played and I had so much fun playing it with my dad when I was little!
Fun fact: THPS HD, uses the underground 2 engine.
Definitely my favorite THPS, then the after the first game. Also you sound very similar to the ON Video narrator, which is neat as it is called Rad Rat Video. I'm glad I subscribed. (:
afer replaying every game this one is the best by far imo
It was the game to start me skating.
Lol i love that you don't have to follow Erik. if you push the right button at the right time you punch him in the face and take the take instead
I Love thug1. 2 was way too much Crazy For me. Wasnt there a jackass Episode that had the topic of thug2? That bothered me a little.
Are you ever gonna do a video about the GBA port for this game? It was missing basically everything that made this game what it is but it's still a surprisingly solid game
i LOVED the story in this one. Completed everything in the game except for all the gaps
I totally agree with all of the points in this video
I never had a problem with climbing that hotel in Hawaii but I played on the ps2 so maybe the control was better
It Fells Like Summer
10:33 i think storyline wise; Eric Sparrow just steals the roof spot and removes your entire part from the premier before Slam City Jam
Favorite levels, Underground 2 has my favorite trick controls (grab double taps for flips and focus).
I would love for this game to get a modern update like 1&2
I actually remember playing ALOT of THPS1 on GBC and THPS2 on GBA. THPS1 gbc is pretty cool for how limited the gameboy was, its like having THPS on NES hahaha. THPS2 was a launch title for the gba, and it was actually 3d and a damn good portable version of THPS2 if my rose tinted glasses for the game havent skewed my memories too much.
you really shot yourself in the foot in playing the xbox version. the ps2 version is the best "official" way to play it, but an xbox one controller on an emulator in 1080p honestly made me feel like i was 7 playing underground again
