Oh totally saved him the effort of some dumbass waste of time competition too. I wish more shit would just end quickly by punching a bitch out and calling it a day.
Idk why but THUG 1 felt different from THUG 2. Felt more relatable. THUG 2 felt goofier. I love both but THUG 1 definitely holds a special place in my heart
THUG2 tried to be too wacky and Jackass/Viva la Bam like and it failed. THUG1 was relatable because every young kid playing it grew up dreaming of traveling and skating for a living. Everyone playing was living their dream. THUG2 just felt stupid and pointless
@@benjamincarron9732 Yeah. THUG2 was very much a product of its time. I mean they already did the rags to riches story in THUG1 but I honestly would've liked to see the same concept, but spread out with more choices. Such as perusing more money and sponsorships or staying underground and keeping a close following. A branching story and narrative would've been nice.
I just found this out yesterday! It was the Vancouver competition in the game. I was watching a documentary on Tony Hawk, and when they mentioned that, I was like “shut the fuck up, that was a plot point in Tony Hawk’s Underground!” Made me happy to know that that was based on a true story 😄
I heard a while back that THUG threw in a few real-life stories. I think that's why THUG is so good. You just feel the realness in the story as an up and Comer. It was such a good game that introduced so many mechanics that redefined the franchise from being more then just doing 2 minute runs all the time. I knew as I was playing THPS4 came out 20 years ago that next year's entry was gonna be special since they were tinkering with a sandbox based mode instead of the previously mentioned 2 minute run.
skategod69 THUG 2 was definitely memorable. Had a lot of good additions, but its story was too goofy and kinda cringey. Looking back, the game aged like milk, but THUG 1 aged like fine wine...
@@dwad3ify i wouldn't say it aged like milk at all, it was more like a BRO game, a bunch of guys messing around having fun, it was more like a viva la bam/jackasss game more then a Tony Hawk game, but definitely can't say it aged bad at all THU2 is a classic and is used by modders to this day lmao so idk where that hate came from I think it's just your personal preference.
@Bohdan Lav facts, I remember playing this when I was like 6 and the idea of moving the sticks a certain way to do a mctwist flew over my head, I passed that mission with pure luck lolol
I’m 27 years old. I played this game around when it first came out on PS2. I still play video games today, Not many but definitely some of the big modern games today. I will still say this is the greatest game I have ever played, story wise. Maybe it’s just bc of the memories I had as a kid when I played this but man I’m telling you I must have played this story over 100 times easily. I loved this game so much. The nostalgia it gives me is insane.
I completely agree when this came out I played it a ton in 2007 and 2008 and it was my favorite game I had ever played up until I got into the far cry and assassins creed series back in 2019
There is no fictional town that I remember more than the starting location of Tony Hawk's Underground 1. I remember *Everything* despite not playing it for years, anyone else remember all the locations vividly? I felt a palpable wave of nostalgia hit me when the MC said all that at 0:35 about New Jersey.
Remember the secret hotel room in the Manhattan level? Jumping out of that window was so cool. Me and my friend used to play hide and seek in this game lol
It's weird how that continuity error with the final footage from the camera because at the time your main character would have been wearing his element but at the end of the game it's swapped out with the Powell Peralta because that's what the character is currently wearing...Game logic
There's something about him that's really hateable, his face, his voice, the way he pretends to be your friend until he betrays you, the way he gradually becomes more and more of a jerk, etc.
Vegetarian Soylent Green out yourself in that situation too. Clawing you’re way to a better life when your best friend steals your greatest accomplishment. The pain of having your joke stolen x1000000
Best THPS game hands down... I remember the commercial showing that you could get off your board, climb things, the build a park was the best it had ever been, and... KISS!
This brings back good memories. Played this so much, even after well over a decade, I still remember most of the cutscenes dialogue and subtle things like how the player character shacks when Todd says he needs to finish his food before he goes out to eat. THUG 1 was the height of the Tony Hawk games.
I wish tony hawk underground 2 was a continuation of this one and showed like our skater getting his footage exposing Eric and becoming pro again but still having to work back to becoming a pro and showing us new spots instead of the same cities keep the cities from thug2 and make it about becoming a pro again
There are so many quotable lines in this game but by far my favorite is "I gotta finish this meal before I go out to eat." Even at 9 years old I found that hilarious.
As much as I love the THPS series, THUG 1 is in a class of it own. The whole get off the board mechanic was mind-blowing for people who played THPS 1-4. I really hope they remaster this game for the PS5 in the future.
Just loved this game so much! Made feel like I was really a amateur skater making my best to turn pro. They could reboot it!! Dreaming is free, right? Lol
Celestia Ludenberg {Vampire} that’s exactly what I’m hoping for. If they remade pro skater 3-4, Thug 1/2, AND Thaw. The online community for that game would make a huge comeback so long as this first remaster plays good and isn’t a total disappointment
@@BenedictPlays because underground 2 lost its underground 1 core vibe. Which was just an average joe becoming a skate star. Underground 2 should be named Tony Hawk's Destruction Tour.
@4:57 Lmao, the cop uses the force on his notepad... This is soo cornyyy, hilarious I remember me and my friends used to use moon gravity cheats and leave the level. Saw some weird stuff they animated out there haha
I’ve still got my copy and lost count of the times I’ve played it back to back. The end helicopter footage is funny if you use the secret skater ‘Y2KJ’ from the create/edit character mode. Just type Y2KJ as the name and you’ll see.

Perfect description bro
I never played through THUG 2, but I played through THUG 1 almost a dozen times :o
THUG2 to me was basically Jackass The Game. Note, I know there was a Jackass game.

Fun fact: when your character goes to Tampa Am and they sign up as a pro instead of an amateur, Tony did that shit in real life
You mean the Slam City Jam in Vancouver

O R dude displayed no hate.. relax.. THUG 1 is still better anyway
"That run was buuuullshiiit. Nah, in a good way, though."
Still sticks in my head all these years later
The best Skateboarding game ever created. I remember beating this, and then doing it all over again time after time. Just awesome fun...
I must have played through at least a hundred times. So fun, dude.
@@filmgeekstudios4393 saaaamme it needs to be remastered
This is easily one of my all time favorite games. Fuck Eric sparrow lol
@@likwid_smoke Hell yeah... Backstabbing little prick! Hahaha =D
@@Carlinisalive Supposedly, it could have after Thug 1 and 2. They wanted to do 3 and 4 also but couldn't cuz of the merger.
This game reeks of early 2000s
And I love it
Yup it came out in late 2004 and that early 00s style was at an all time high here!
@@StarWolf_88 *2003 but yeah
7:36 "I gotta finish this meal before I go out to eat" never fails to make me laugh.
I still quote that on a regular basis.
I loved that scary music that played when you had to avoid the dealers at night!
Same here good music. I used to stand still just to hear it
WAIT KID! ITS TOO DANGEROUS!
The "home sweet home what a dump" opening line during the intro to New Jersey gives me a huge wave of nostalgia
The opening shot zooming into the window gives me chills. This is the only Tony Hawk remake I would spend money on if it were to ever happen.
What about Underground 2 ?
@@TheKidAustin09 nah
"Todd said he wanted something big. This is it."

You knew Eric was gonna betray you when he didnt sign you up in Tampa
“Skating is supposed to relax me, not stress me out.”
This stuck in my head for everything I do.

Coming from Jersey, this opening course is where I spent the most time!
Na
Punching Eric Sparrow after finishing the game a second time was so satisfying. And somehow completing the Moscow line challenge on Sick was insane.
You can have a pro punch Eric
It's weird how that continuity error with the final footage from the camera because at the time your main character would have been wearing his element but at the end of the game it's swapped out with the Powell Peralta because that's what the character is currently wearing...Game logic
I hope we get this game a remaster because its one of the best Tony Hawk games out there
And it'll be nice to have a modern skating game again
Considering Microsoft bought Activision, they do plan on reopening some forgotten files such as the tony hawk series and the guitar hero series
@@williamstarr5170That’s a relief. Let’s hope they’ll pull through
Gah, I remember How much I hated Eric as a kid playing this.
thanks for capitalizing “how”
I still think of how much I hate sparrow
Yes

Back when we thought this was the best graphics
I remember it was in a magazine about how good the graphics were and that's hilarious to think about now
Best THPS game hands down... I remember the commercial showing that you could get off your board, climb things, the build a park was the best it had ever been, and... KISS!
Best story of any Tony Hawk game 🤷♀️
Facts
I’m pretty sure almost everyone signed with element hahaha
No
you mean all the kids who watched Viva La Bam hahaha im just playin....kinda
I always went with GIRL and Flip
Flipp
As a kid it was mando because of the Bam Margera craze but i usually go on girl when i play through it now
I did girl and flip.
13:40 bam talking about tanks was the funniest thing ever 😂😂
7:04 I always liked when the user threw shade to that asshole who treated him like shit at the check in gate.

19:50 was such an iconic part of the game! made me love that game and the song was so damn epic as well!
"You backstabbing, mob-flippin' cockroach!"
Jarrett Tedesco the best is when he just punches Eric instead of making u beat him at the end haha
Legend has it Bam is still looking at those tanks
I remember the graphics in this game being so sick.
Lol Eric offering a $500,000 buyout for a team with one video, after pulling up in a Lambo. I had no idea skating demo's paid so well.
Were those two drug dealers at the New Jersey subway station Jay and Silent Bob?
Make sense if they're in Jersey lol
Yuuuuuuuuuuup
16:48 is such a hilarious throwaway line
“He probably skates for minimum wage”
I wish tony hawk underground 2 was a continuation of this one and showed like our skater getting his footage exposing Eric and becoming pro again but still having to work back to becoming a pro and showing us new spots instead of the same cities keep the cities from thug2 and make it about becoming a pro again
It was about becoming pro technically. You just had "prove yourself" by winning the game against Eric and bam *except for when u get traded
Back when games would resonate with you. Being a lil punk kid skatin and bombing around the east coast. Man I miss them days.
There are so many quotable lines in this game but by far my favorite is "I gotta finish this meal before I go out to eat." Even at 9 years old I found that hilarious.

This needs to be remade. NOW.
We all know a guy like Eric
One of my favourite games. Still playing to this day.
I was so young when I played this then got older, started skating and now rewatching this I understand everything 😂
Just loved this game so much! Made feel like I was really a amateur skater making my best to turn pro. They could reboot it!! Dreaming is free, right? Lol
depending on how well the first two remastered games sell they might remaster 3 and 4 next and then hopefully this!
Celestia Ludenberg {Vampire} that’s exactly what I’m hoping for. If they remade pro skater 3-4, Thug 1/2, AND Thaw. The online community for that game would make a huge comeback so long as this first remaster plays good and isn’t a total disappointment

It’s so good, we can’t go skating right now. Look at these tanks!!! *DAYYYUM!* - Bam
Hell yeah best game ever!!!! This game and TRUE CRIME LA are one of my fav classics!! Such good stories
Eric Sparrow is such a snaaaaake
Best skateboarding game ever made. Brings back such good memories
Man, you can see how Eric Sparrow became a villain. Never knew the protagonist was his friend at that time.
Skittles means skills! classic
What are ya, from Idaho??
that elbow at the end was beyond satisfying
These cut scenes look like they were animated by rockstar
4:32 wait a minute...

@@M4DAttack 4:47 thats not his neck?
@@smashguy7986 old comment but I realized that a month later
i played this when i was like 15 maybe now im 28 and still skating and this intro still gets my hyped to go do so
"It's a needle, but it moves like a sewing machine" 🤣
I think that's a Bobby Lee joke
"I gotta finish this meal before I go out to eat" was the funniest dang thing when I was 11.
Still the funniest thing now 😂
It's time to put all cutscenes in all one video!
This brings back a lot of nostalgia
I need to finish my meal before I go out to eat
7:04 damn he's still salty about the spot rejection
Still crazy how Eric was the homie and then just backstabbed him sooooooo hard. Like wow

An outstanding cutscenes for Tony Hawk's Underground.
DAMN LOOK AT THESE TANKS
eric is like that one friend who gives your real id to the cops when u having teen party at home
“And yo…..Merry Christmas”
