Totally thought 2 or 3 was gonna be #1--*so* glad it was THUG! From the story to the soundtrack, and some of the off-the-wall tricks (before they went full-blown crazy on THUG 2)--THUG is a masterpiece for it's time!
Did you ever play the skate series? I only played skate 2 but OMG was it awesome. The world was beautiful and what neversoft wanted. IDK if it was as detailed as Tony hawk games but it was such a nice world, just skating around was so much fun.
Which of the better Tony Hawk games would you say had the best multiplayer? I'm asking because I played the hell out of a PS1 skating game with a friend but don't recall which one and am trying to find out which.
Is thug pro free to download? Also sadly I've only played thug 2 the goofy one and American wasteland Which I only owned wasteland still love it Want the 360 version of it
It is a great game. I was disappointed with it though, it was deceptively marketed. They claimed it would all be one seamless map, but it was all separate levels seamed together with really long loading tunnels. That was super lame, and they thankfully made it one seamless flowing environment in the next game. Regardless, I 100-percented THAW and still loved it. I had to acknowledge the disappointment in this list to decide its place in the ranks.
THUG is definitely my favorite. I actually prefer the narrative structure over the original arcade style, and I love being able to get off the board; it makes you feel less restricted and allows you to be more creative. Also, I actually skate in real life, so I'm not just a gamer.
I feel it. I remember my cousin had thug when it came out for xbox original and I was mesmerised by it. then when i got my hands on a ps2 and American wasteland it was on. IT was just my shit. I replayed it mire than twenty times not exaggerating just from memory that's the estimate literally would play it even now. lol That story had a whole fucking love interest hahaha as a kid i remember thinking i wish i had a girl like mindy lol
American Wasteland was the one I played the most as a kid. The level of character customization was incredible to me at the time. It was also such a great feeling to progress through the story and see your skatepark get built piece by piece. It was so badass that you'd take these massive setpieces from different levels and just kinda slap them into your park and it worked. It also introduced me to punk music, which is some of my favorite music today. That game had such a strong impact on me as a kid. I might just have to emulate it with my Gamecube controller USB adapter...
I was looking for this comment! And it had online multiplayer. Did the most of the others have online? Also I played with a codebreaker cd and it made it 4 times more fun will always be my favorite
Underground makes my heart swell with nostalgia everytime I see it or hear a track that was featured on it. Back then, Bam Margera was on top of the world, everyone wanted to skate and be skaters. Everyone wore skate shoes, had skater cuts, wristbands (sweatbands), Viva La Bam was on, etc. Bam was top dog at the time.
So true mate! I loved THUG, I completed that game 3 times, but somehow I felt THUG2 to be great but not as good as that one. American Wasteland was good, its content and concepts were well implemented but the levels were so small and kind of boring that I couldn't end it. Besides its story is not as good as THUG and THUG2

Right it just seems like he’s just putting down games too forcefully, this list is trash along with the commentary. THUG 2 had a good storyline! It was entertaining, the missions felt meaningful and rewarding, the physics were more smooth than THUG 1, on the board, or off the board! Soundtrack can go to either game. THUG 2 was just the more superior game.
No. Game was very painfully average and dorky at the time. Shit I remember Bam being top 10 video game losers of 2004. Thug 1 was simply the best game because it had a story that revolves around you. I have all the ps2 ones but thug 1 is simply a treasure
American Wasteland was my favorite Tony Hawk game. Other than Underground. Those are the ones I grew up with and played first so they always hold a special place in my heart. American Wasteland shouldve been higher on the list.
A remake or a remaster? A remake would imply making the game from scrath again and changing mechanics and stuff, hence making the game again and getting a different result.
The main issue with THUG2 is that it came right after THUG1. It's an excellent game on its own right, it's just that THUG1 improved so much on the series that THUG2 sort of felt like it didn't add that much in comparison.
Same. It has a charm and uniqueness to it. Plus it has one of the absolute best soundtracks of the series, and a ton of content. Most of the levels are pretty memorable too.
I remember when I was a young kid that sucked at video games and I remember screaming out with joy when I finally did the mctwist over the helicopter in Hawaii. It was awesome
Ooh yeah, I remember that staying with me for some time. I kind of forgot about that until you mentioned it. That was the highlight of that game for the longest time, there was such an ultimacy to the ending. It felt so epic. The slow-mo, the camera angles, and then when you landed it drops into the chorus of Refused - New Noise. Soooo badass. An epic ending is something all the other games lacked.
Damn! I didn't even know english back in the day hahaha, passing that part was hard as fuck as I didin't know I had to get the special meter up in order to achieve the mctwist! I finally got it because of some random glitch were I got the mctwist somewhere near the ramp and got it as good, lol!
“THUG 1 had wall plants and THUG 2 had the sticker slap, I can do them both in a sticker slap to manual to wall plant combo” Anybody remember Useless Dave from THAW? 😂
American Wasteland is a good game, but it mainly builds off of the two games before it, Tony Hawk Underground 1 and 2. Without playing those ones I'd imagine you'd have quite a different opinion.
The only thing I don't like about American Wasteland is how unfinished it feels. There are a few times I'm completely taken out of the story because of those horrible cut scenes. It's a small nit pick though
oddheader i loved u 1 and 2. My favourite TH Games back then and today. American Wastelands seems soulless. I even doesent play through it. It was just lame for me.
Tony Hawk pro skater 4 will always be my favorite I played it more than any game as a kid and the sound track introduced me to so many underground artist in different genres that I still listen to
My first time ever hearing AC/DC, Sex Pistols, and Old Dirty Bastard. It’s in my top 3 for sure. THPS 4, American Wasteland, and THPS2. Project 8 is a honorable mention.
Underground 2 is the best, partially BECAUSE it's so silly. It makes things incredibly memorable! It also has the tightest mechanics and best combo lines out of all of the games. Getting the option to play as unique skaters with different vehicles and abilities in each level, and unlocking secret skaters was one of my favorite things as a kid. Yes, the Jackass stuff is very much Of It's Time, but it's perfect for the type of game it was.
you all know what I was thinking and looking to while visiting Barcelona city myself and walking along parks and pavements! and there are guys skating on those streets... lucky.
@akmsky BCN is really a nice city and there is a lot of things to do and even more if you do skate, BMX or other street sports. I live here in Barcelona and I can say that every spot in the thug2 map exists and you can actually walk by
I've played every tony hawk game besides 5,shred, and ride. But I felt that thug to be the best story. My favorite was probably American Wasteland and felt that you overrated Project 8 and kinda underrated Thps4. But great list.
My biggest thought when I made this was that my Project 8 pick would be controversial. I think it may be the most polarizing game. I have gotten the most feedback on my THPS4 rank and do agree with a bit of it. I think I would have ranked it higher as a personal favorite, but I thought the legacy of others titles sort of decided its place in my rank.
Which game? Because I remember in THUG1 actually my brother creating a chick character and then there was a challenge where you had to pick up chicks to come to a party. We laughed. Sort of broke the immersion for us.
@@Kevin-uj4uu The series would have been a COMPLETE joke had they not main a legitimate next-gen iteration. It wouldn't have made it to Proving Ground.
@@Halagini by going next gen they accidently made games much more shitty if they jsut stuck to the ps2 engine like what they had with thaw on 360. it actually looked kind of decent too. but by the time proving ground came out all non TH fans already moved on the series to skate and the th fans didnt like that boring grey mess with shitty online features and no cap
you're 100% right on thug 1 vs 2 imo. They both feel great, but 1's storyline of travelling to different cities to get noticed, getting picked up by a team (including choosing which team you were on!), having a villain twist w Eric that actually made you feel emotionally invested in the storyline. It's massively fun to replay, the soundtrack slaps, and it has great humor without going overboard like thug 2 did
I’m surprised and happy to see Project 8 so high on the list. It’s very underrated for how solid it is and I have a lot of fond memories playing that one.
Definitely! it's always hard to rank, but I feel 4 needed to be higher up. It didn't feel quite as speical I guess as 2&3, but it was like they perfected the tricklist here and the amount of content was just great - it's probably the one I've replayed the most
Tony's contract with Activision expired so now Activision fully owns the rights to the game, name and everything else associated with it. The franchise is dead.
He still made Tony Hawks Skate Jam for Android and IOS a few months back. Its bad but it's still a Tony Hawk title released without activation, I think they just own the Pro Skater series.
Pro Skater 1&2 remaster that just released is absolute perfection. If this list was remade it deserves to be high up. All the extra challenges and two games included with new tricks and physics. It feels great.
@@JohnBanks1978 VV is now part of Blizzard to make Diablo. I'm sure some of the developers of VV are gone now. andyTHPS is not working with Blizzard anymore. It's like before when Neversoft was integrated into Infinity Ward to make Call of Duty. It makes no sense..
Spoiler Alert!!! Games listed in order: #18 - 0:50 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (shit garbage of course) #17 - 1:46 - Tony Hawk's Motion #16 & #15 - 2:21 - Tony Hawk's Ride & Tony Hawk's Shred #14 - 3:29 - Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam #13 - 4:09 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD #12 - 4:37 - Tony Hawk's Proving Ground #11 - 5:02 - Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (I personally strongly disagree with this being ranked so low) #10 - 5:41 - Tony Hawk's American Sk8land #9 - 5:55 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater #8 - 6:16 - Tony Hawk's Underground 2 #7 - 6:57 - Tony Hawk's Underground 2 REMIX #6 - 7:14 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 #5 - 7:49 - Tony Hawk's Project 8 (overrated in my opinion, I hated this game) #4 - 8:47 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 #3 - 9:24 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x #2 - 9:38 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 #1 - 10:15 - Tony Hawk's Underground (in my opinion, well deserving of #1) Amazing list, the best one out there, of course we aren't all going to agree, but you hit the nail on the head on the vast majority of these!
I love AW and THUG2, but Project 8 is easily a way more complete game than those two. I would even say that's it's probably the best TH game I've ever played (I played all the games up until Proving Ground except for Motion). Project 8 felt special and it made Tony Hawk's games feel like they had a bright future ahead. I wish they did more games with that vive tbh
My top 3 are 3 wasteland, because of the gameplay (it was really fun) and the soundtrack 2 underground, more possibilities and gameplay, but the soundtrack was a little off 1 project 8 is my favorite because it feels more real, focused on skate and technical than the others, which are rather more of an arcade style, but I feel like project 8 is very special indeed
Here's a fun fact about ThugPro, the developers were originally considering using the Thaw engine to build the game off of, but that was too much of a pain in the ass to do, so they stepped it down to Thug2.
A THUG HD collection would be amazing!! Those were the 2 best games imo, which is crazy to say when 2 and 3 perfected the formula and had amazing levels. Adding a story mode with your own character added so much more to the experience, it was no longer just skating around for points and silly goals. It was about continuing a story with interesting characters and funny dialogue. I’m playing THUG 2 right this very moment actually lol still love it .
@@DrCooch me 2 i used to play with my two neighbors we used to play on ps1 and ps2 all day and then go play football (soccer) outside of course no fifa shit haha, i guess also i was the only one who got into skateboarding in real life and i had a crush on this skateboard guy around the block he was sort of hot 🤣
I've played all Tony hawk games and my favorites are thug 1 and American wasteland. I love riding the bike and the maps are really good too. Great list btw!
Have you seen the "Alternate Ending"? In that one, you skip the entire last level, because you knock out Mr. Sparrow instead of doing the last mission.
THUG2 easily the goat. Great levels filled with character, best story and best gameplay. Idk how you said any other game promotes exploration more than THUG2. Also THUG3 has “the most comprehensive trick system” like you said.
That being said...it has a great pick up and play mentality and can easily be completed in one sitting. It's an amalgamation of fun, it just has no substance.
I tried THUG pro for the first time today. The idea is cool, but it made me realize that the enjoyment I got from this series was progressing from stage to stage by doing the challenges. With THUG pro, you just pick a level and free skate on it for the most part.
I just knew he was gonna say underground, I remember playing this as a kid with my brother and we would always try to out do each other in anything, scores, making levels, we would make mazes and everything, use cheat codes and get secret characters
It was THPS 3 for me, although I did have the first one on the N64 as well. I think Tony Hawk 2 was the most innovative, though, even though I never played it, because of the addition of the manual, which really opened things up.
and ps3 . from there to wastland were the ones that made me wanna go out actually buy a board and start skating even tho I don't anymore and bmx now. never the less it inspired me to have any interest at all in extreme sports if u wanna call it that. in fact I fired up my ps2 last night just to play the college level again for the nostalgia.
I just replayed all of these last week. At least 1-underground 2. THPS4 was the height of mechanics but besides alcatraz there isn’t much inspiration in level design.
THPS3 will always be my favorite. It's the one I played as a kid that got me into the series and gave me so many great nostalgic memories, so nothings ever going to beat that.
Oh man, thanks for giving THUG some love, that game just had so much content and customization. Such a step forward for the franchise in so many ways and it sucks that it didn't keep going in that direction.
This entire video had me at the edge of my seat. Lmao. Having played and worshipped every single major game throughout my childhood. Thank you for actually breaking down the mechanics and bs this series went through. Strait up thug 1 was the best. So ahead of it's time and such a great addition to the series with it's level design and new innovations. 7 year old me was stoked to hear that and current 23 year old me couldn't agree more. As I got older and new games came out on next generation systems I always found my self going back the thug 1, even to this day. Thanks man this video made me really happy. Keep up the killer vids and don't stop doing what ya love.✌️
Really good video. Although in my heart THPS2 is my all time favourite, I feel honestly your list is the right one. All of their positions make sense. But can I just say for next time, try not to have such overpowering music, and try to consistantly keep the same distance when talking to the mic between takes. Some parts of the video I had to turn up and focus to hear you.
oddheader I tried to unlock the space map on Nintendo 64 and there was a cheat code on N64 to unlock Spider-Man but it never seemed to work. I ended up meeting up all the requirements to unlock Spider-Man but I never did. I don't know if I just had an early version of the game that didn't support it or what. Anyways my friend had a Dreamcast and I played with Spider-Man and on the space map all the time.
Great list, American Wasteland should be a bit higher because it feels like the Underground games. UG1 is reasonably the best and thanks for heads up about that project at the end.
Nice video. Agree with your opinions and its well written, my only gripe would be that the background music is too loud, there were times were I could barely understand what was being said
Thanks for the feedback! I plan to use a better mic next video and to normalize the audio better. I noticed as well there were some spots I could have boosted the vocal.
THUG is so good and it is still so good after many many years. Map design is just awesome & I can't get enough of Manhattan or Moscow map. Also it felt so good to play it online in ps2 and whole online thing in ps2 was so new and I was like 10yo kid trying to tell my mom to buy ps2 netadapter so I can play online with randoms and friends. Damn, good times. I have it on my computer, ps2 and xbox. Fireball game mode and all those awesome songs
American Wasteland has a special place in my heart, if the first three games introduced me to some of the best bands ever, THAW got me into Hardcore Punk and all that good stuff. Plus, the amount of content is great, a campaign and classic mode
Gonna be honest, my favorites were THUG 2 and Proving Grounds. It could be because I didn't play a lot of those kinds of games since I was never any good at them, but THUG2 had my favorite story and Proving Grounds I loved because of the different ways you could take your story. Having Rigger, Pro and Hardcore mission options made it feel like the story was tailored to the way I preferred to have fun in the game. Granted, I would usually go back to previous levels and try to complete other mission types, but a lot of the combo stuff tended to be difficult for me to do.
THUG 2 was probably my favorite, having the very most you could do in the game, the customization, and the story -while whacky- put some pretense into what you were doing. Proving grounds would be my follow up. It was semi lackluster but it brought a lot of great ideas from project 8. Thaw was tough but since it had a lot of elements like thug 2, I had to give it to proving grounds just simply for the innovation.
I agree THUG is my favorite too. I remember when my bro got this game, and when I first played it, I thought Tony Hawk games were going in the right direction. Just sucks how Hawk games are now. I just ordered this, and THPS 4 to relive my childhood. Not to get personal but my bro passed away, and I'm really stoked to play these 2 titles bc it was just a really happy time in our lives. I hope Hawk games improve, but I think they won't..
OMFG YEEEES Tony Hawk Underground is the greatest. Amazing story, level development, and fun. I literally beat this game 10+ times. So much Nostalgia and I miss it. #RemasterTonyHawkUnderground
great video, disagree with some of the entries but solid points throughout and well explained opinions, I agree with 95% of 'em also you should look into mixing your audio a bit better, your mic was really quiet in some parts it looks like you're pretty new to youtube so this is a wonderful video for how little experience I'm guessing you have
American Wasteland is the first tony hawk game I played and personally my favorite. It had a good soundtrack that helped develop my taste in music and the skate montage at the end with all the pros got me into skateboarding
Anyone who skateboarded (seriously) at the dawn of the 2000s knows that THPS 2 is the undisputable #1. Sure this guy who narrates this video stated that its from a gamer's point of view, but people who played the game and didn't understand skateboarding shouldn't hold the validity of someone that was obsessed with skateboarding at this time. The first 2 games were something very special to skateboarders and skateboarding.
For being such a low subscriber count channel, the production value is really high, great actually! Great list too. THAW is the one i've played the most, so it's my favorite. I can agree on why it' low on the list though.

Underground 2 was the best of all time. I'd love an HD remake.
..THUGPRO?
NET Alliance for real this dude said it sucked best one ever made compared to pro skater 4
No more remakes
They should just HD them all for next gen!!!
A remake or a remaster? A remake would imply making the game from scrath again and changing mechanics and stuff, hence making the game again and getting a different result.
personally loved the jack-assery of THUG 2
Me too, stuff like the Bull in Barcelona or Benjamin Franklin were defo super fun to me.
Definitely my favorite one. Next to thps 1 and 2.
The main issue with THUG2 is that it came right after THUG1. It's an excellent game on its own right, it's just that THUG1 improved so much on the series that THUG2 sort of felt like it didn't add that much in comparison.
this was the best
Same. It has a charm and uniqueness to it. Plus it has one of the absolute best soundtracks of the series, and a ton of content. Most of the levels are pretty memorable too.
I remember when I was a young kid that sucked at video games and I remember screaming out with joy when I finally did the mctwist over the helicopter in Hawaii. It was awesome
Ooh yeah, I remember that staying with me for some time. I kind of forgot about that until you mentioned it. That was the highlight of that game for the longest time, there was such an ultimacy to the ending. It felt so epic. The slow-mo, the camera angles, and then when you landed it drops into the chorus of Refused - New Noise. Soooo badass. An epic ending is something all the other games lacked.
THUG 1 was truly special. They nailed it. Awesome video!
abso fucking lutely.
really? i was like 6 and i was able to do it first try. maybe because i played it a lot
Damn! I didn't even know english back in the day hahaha, passing that part was hard as fuck as I didin't know I had to get the special meter up in order to achieve the mctwist! I finally got it because of some random glitch were I got the mctwist somewhere near the ramp and got it as good, lol!
despite how people rag on it now THUG 2 is still my favorite Tony Hawk game
I love it
Best thps actually
YES
Can’t beat THPS 3 for me, remember playing it for hours in the attic.
Popular opinion: *we should get a remaster of tony hawk American wasteland*
I loved that game so much
This game was really good the story was fantastic and the way is played was on point
I think thug 1 and 2 need remasters before wasteland
I think everything up to wasteland should get a remaster
I’d be 100% happy with a remaster of that or either underground game
“THUG 1 had wall plants and THUG 2 had the sticker slap, I can do them both in a sticker slap to manual to wall plant combo”
Anybody remember Useless Dave from THAW? 😂
Sticker slap to manual to wallplant!
I only had AW and THPS1 as a kid. I had NO idea what "Thug" and "Thug 2" were, so I assumed they were NPC's in AW 😂. FLIPS ARE FLIPPIN FUN! 🇫🇷
(SPOILERS)
Remember how he hooked up with Kelly at the end of the game?
"I go for the burly drops, try this one cocky noob." "Spine Transfer to Nosegrab Frontflip."
@@ShadowAgent94 the easiest
Tony hawk pro skater 3 was my favorite I would spend hours on the airport level and the cruise ship
American wasteland should be in the top 5
On soundtrack only THAW should be top 3.
I remember crying all day on Christmas because my tony hawk ride board wouldn’t calibrate
Lol
I think I only enjoyed American wasteland as I only played the original thps 3 and thps 4 so I found American wasteland really fun
American Wasteland is a good game, but it mainly builds off of the two games before it, Tony Hawk Underground 1 and 2. Without playing those ones I'd imagine you'd have quite a different opinion.
The only thing I don't like about American Wasteland is how unfinished it feels. There are a few times I'm completely taken out of the story because of those horrible cut scenes. It's a small nit pick though
Lachlan Neasham plus the bugs
oddheader i loved u 1 and 2. My favourite TH Games back then and today. American Wastelands seems soulless. I even doesent play through it. It was just lame for me.
LJC that’s my favourite toney hawk game aswell idk what it is but it just is
Tony Hawk pro skater 4 will always be my favorite I played it more than any game as a kid and the sound track introduced me to so many underground artist in different genres that I still listen to
john butler same 4 is the best
john butler It introduced me to Aesop Rock
I played 4 the most as well that game kicks ass, really liked how simple and fun 3 was though. Also played the hell out of THAW and THUG
#4 is by far the best. I agree, soundtrack was incredible!
My first time ever hearing AC/DC, Sex Pistols, and Old Dirty Bastard. It’s in my top 3 for sure. THPS 4, American Wasteland, and THPS2. Project 8 is a honorable mention.
Thug 1 was truly a beautiful game, it didn’t age bad either I can still pick it up and play and love it... we need more tony hawk games like that
Absolutely agree.
Underground 2 is the best, partially BECAUSE it's so silly. It makes things incredibly memorable! It also has the tightest mechanics and best combo lines out of all of the games. Getting the option to play as unique skaters with different vehicles and abilities in each level, and unlocking secret skaters was one of my favorite things as a kid. Yes, the Jackass stuff is very much Of It's Time, but it's perfect for the type of game it was.
The locations and soundtrack were so memorable as well.
@@Swagonslayuh man, true that, i just completed boston again and am now in barcelona and i remember almost everything!
you all know what I was thinking and looking to while visiting Barcelona city myself and walking along parks and pavements! and there are guys skating on those streets... lucky.
@akmsky BCN is really a nice city and there is a lot of things to do and even more if you do skate, BMX or other street sports. I live here in Barcelona and I can say that every spot in the thug2 map exists and you can actually walk by
I've played every tony hawk game besides 5,shred, and ride. But I felt that thug to be the best story. My favorite was probably American Wasteland and felt that you overrated Project 8 and kinda underrated Thps4. But great list.
My biggest thought when I made this was that my Project 8 pick would be controversial. I think it may be the most polarizing game. I have gotten the most feedback on my THPS4 rank and do agree with a bit of it. I think I would have ranked it higher as a personal favorite, but I thought the legacy of others titles sort of decided its place in my rank.
I like how the story was gender neutral so that u can play a chick and not lose the emersion in the story. My favorite ps2/xbox game as a kid.
Which game? Because I remember in THUG1 actually my brother creating a chick character and then there was a challenge where you had to pick up chicks to come to a party. We laughed. Sort of broke the immersion for us.
Probably referring to thps4. Also, that is the best tony hawk game. That might be childhood nostalgia talking but shut up.
thps4 is so underrated
Pro Skater 2 is my favorite, I still listen to the songs. I still remember the crazy taxi driver. Plus playing with Spiderman.
2 had the best atmosphere of all - because of the music and feel.
I still go back & play it.
That cab driver was something else. "You mother *beep*! You are pissing me off!"
Jw Nj that was the first time I ever heard rage against the machine 🤘
Same here.
THUG2 was amazing you can’t change my mind
THUG2 sucked. Fuck all those vehicles, its a skateboarding game!
Jack Anderson Boston was pretty bad but it's still a kick ass game
MY FAVORITE
Because you were 10 when you played it.
dilbophagginz pro skater games didnt have a story lmao they sucked
According to this guy, 70% of these games are where "they started to feel like a cash grab".
well they were the main reason they started the games was to support there kids😂
Everything after Underground was a Cashgrab
@@Gunplabro project 8 wasnt a cash grab. they could of easily reused the same engine but decided to make something from the ground up
@@Kevin-uj4uu The series would have been a COMPLETE joke had they not main a legitimate next-gen iteration. It wouldn't have made it to Proving Ground.
@@Halagini by going next gen they accidently made games much more shitty if they jsut stuck to the ps2 engine like what they had with thaw on 360. it actually looked kind of decent too. but by the time proving ground came out all non TH fans already moved on the series to skate and the th fans didnt like that boring grey mess with shitty online features and no cap
THUG and THUG2 was the best for me, after this THPS4 and 3
You don’t know what youre talking about... underground 2 is Sick
Yeah exactly. How can anyone not like this title? This is the most replayable TH game for me
It was barely a tony hawk game though. It was a Jackass game.
Andrew Robbins Thats what made it so good
THUG 2 really brought out the personality in the series. There’s a lot to do and a lot to customize. Totally the best!
It had the best engine for Tony Hawk
Project 8 might come close but Unreal isn't as PC friendly
you're 100% right on thug 1 vs 2 imo. They both feel great, but 1's storyline of travelling to different cities to get noticed, getting picked up by a team (including choosing which team you were on!), having a villain twist w Eric that actually made you feel emotionally invested in the storyline. It's massively fun to replay, the soundtrack slaps, and it has great humor without going overboard like thug 2 did
I’m surprised and happy to see Project 8 so high on the list. It’s very underrated for how solid it is and I have a lot of fond memories playing that one.
I fucking loved project 8
It’s my second favorite behind THUG. Super underrated. Great story, amazing map layout, and nail the trick, well they did just that. Nailed it
THPS 2 was the most iconic though, thats not even debatable.
BOBBY K.O [Official] yeah idk how the hell THPS 2 is above it haha
Exactly
Nah 3 is
THPS4*
3 and underground are the best
THPS 2-4 Were amazing.
Underground 1-2 Were My Personal Favourites.
Definitely! it's always hard to rank, but I feel 4 needed to be higher up. It didn't feel quite as speical I guess as 2&3, but it was like they perfected the tricklist here and the amount of content was just great - it's probably the one I've replayed the most
Tony's contract with Activision expired so now Activision fully owns the rights to the game, name and everything else associated with it.
The franchise is dead.
He still made Tony Hawks Skate Jam for Android and IOS a few months back. Its bad but it's still a Tony Hawk title released without activation, I think they just own the Pro Skater series.
I offered them $20 for the rights and they almost gave it to me but they want $25. I declined
Activision only owns the Pro Skater portion, not the whole license, Tony Hawk still has the license, but is afraid to give it to activision
@@ledzepplinreuniontour its just skate party but reskinned to be tony hawk.
MC Chase why?
Pro Skater 1&2 remaster that just released is absolute perfection. If this list was remade it deserves to be high up. All the extra challenges and two games included with new tricks and physics. It feels great.
Lets hope they do a 3&4
@@JohnBanks1978 3&4 is canceled and Vicarious Visions is no more. So, history repeating once again.

Dude I don't know what your smoking but TH underground 2 is one of my favorites in the TH series and is on my top five.
“ I don’t like your opinion mines better”
Yes

It goes Underground, 3, then 1, 2, and 4 are tied or change depending on my mood

Amazing list, the best one out there, of course we aren't all going to agree, but you hit the nail on the head on the vast majority of these!
Project 8 better than wasteland and underground2... this ain’t it chief
I love AW and THUG2, but Project 8 is easily a way more complete game than those two. I would even say that's it's probably the best TH game I've ever played (I played all the games up until Proving Ground except for Motion). Project 8 felt special and it made Tony Hawk's games feel like they had a bright future ahead. I wish they did more games with that vive tbh
I had more fun playing THUG 1 🤷🏽♂️ that’s my personal favorite Tony Hawk Game
I didn't like Project 8. It seemed more technical and less fun.
My experience with project 8 was wishing it was more like underground or wasteland lol
My top 3 are
3 wasteland, because of the gameplay (it was really fun) and the soundtrack
2 underground, more possibilities and gameplay, but the soundtrack was a little off
1 project 8 is my favorite because it feels more real, focused on skate and technical than the others, which are rather more of an arcade style, but I feel like project 8 is very special indeed
Here's a fun fact about ThugPro, the developers were originally considering using the Thaw engine to build the game off of, but that was too much of a pain in the ass to do, so they stepped it down to Thug2.
I've actually always wondered they why didnt go with Thaw so we maybe could use the bicycles on the all the levels. That makes sense tho.
A real shame. But I can see why. Also the PC port is even fucking worse for thaw, they'd have even more crap to fix before even adding new content.
A THUG HD collection would be amazing!! Those were the 2 best games imo, which is crazy to say when 2 and 3 perfected the formula and had amazing levels. Adding a story mode with your own character added so much more to the experience, it was no longer just skating around for points and silly goals. It was about continuing a story with interesting characters and funny dialogue.
I’m playing THUG 2 right this very moment actually lol still love it .
Unfortunately people nowadays would be too sensitive for that amount of sexism and racism in these games. It's just impossible.
Whenever I think about Tony Hawk I always flash back to the 'school' level, great times...
Hell yeah. I made a Childhood friend playing that level
Me the school level and the taxi level and the helicopter level and the palms level also the bulls level come to mind as well.
@@DrCooch me 2 i used to play with my two neighbors we used to play on ps1 and ps2 all day and then go play football (soccer) outside of course no fifa shit haha, i guess also i was the only one who got into skateboarding in real life and i had a crush on this skateboard guy around the block he was sort of hot 🤣
Keep restarting until you get the Superman track. 😎
First time I played school though it felt impossible to get 25,000
American Wasteland was probably my favorite.
It's all about your age. Whichever game was recent when you were 12-15 years old will be your GOAT.
@@Sam-go3mb I mean the remake came out when I was 14 but My favorite tony hawk game is from 2006 which is when I was born
American Wasteland and Proving Ground were the only ones I played as a kid, love them both
Absolutely!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯
I've played all Tony hawk games and my favorites are thug 1 and American wasteland. I love riding the bike and the maps are really good too. Great list btw!
John Pittinger definately my 2 favorites as well. Along with project 8. But thug1 and AW are the all time best .
Don't sleep on Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, that game is way too underrated! Tony Hawk's Underground is the best one though.
It's a fine game but Skate was out and did the realistic approach way better
I fucking loved proving ground
@@YO_HO_2EASY proving ground in my top 3
I love Proving Ground. Deserve much more love.
If you think project 8 is better than American wasteland ur crazy!
Spzy agree
American wasteland was awersome
My Second favorite only behind underground 1
I agree project 8 was better, it’s called an opinion
shadow-Leena yes ma’am keyboard warrior
Coolidge Owens you first buttercup ;)
Played everyone of them aswell, huge fan.
BEST 3.
3. Underground 1
2. Underground 2
1. American wasteland
These are the ones that need a remaster ASAP
Thaw is fucking awesome.
5: Pro Skater 3
4: America Wasteland

2. Pro Skater 4
1. THUG
Honorable mention :
THUG PRO
THUG 2 REMIX
Duuuuude, that's a great top
Chocolate Rain finally, someone with some gotdamn taste around here
Thug was such a disappointment given the grinding balance reset glitch
I honestly think the first 4 are better than anything that came after it.
@@mikehunt7410 That's because you're 45 years old
Underground was definitely the best. I beat that game over 20 times and it NEVER got old. Still love it. Great story.
Broo saaame
Have you seen the "Alternate Ending"? In that one, you skip the entire last level, because you knock out Mr. Sparrow instead of doing the last mission.
THUG2 easily the goat. Great levels filled with character, best story and best gameplay. Idk how you said any other game promotes exploration more than THUG2. Also THUG3 has “the most comprehensive trick system” like you said.
Uh...did we play the same game? It's a complete 180 from Underground and absolutely disgraceful story wise.
That being said...it has a great pick up and play mentality and can easily be completed in one sitting. It's an amalgamation of fun, it just has no substance.
@@jetthejudge im actually wondering if he even played thug 1 after his statement on the story😂
THUG3 ??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I tried THUG pro for the first time today. The idea is cool, but it made me realize that the enjoyment I got from this series was progressing from stage to stage by doing the challenges. With THUG pro, you just pick a level and free skate on it for the most part.
I just knew he was gonna say underground, I remember playing this as a kid with my brother and we would always try to out do each other in anything, scores, making levels, we would make mazes and everything, use cheat codes and get secret characters
THPS2 was the tony hawk game i grew up on
It was THPS 3 for me, although I did have the first one on the N64 as well. I think Tony Hawk 2 was the most innovative, though, even though I never played it, because of the addition of the manual, which really opened things up.
THUG was my childhood
Mine too.
Yea but mine is broke:(
Ah the memories.
The altered footage of your sick trick over the helicopter.
You're gonna have to do an updated version of this in a few months, gamer.
If underground wasn’t number 1 you were gonna get a dislike
I got you!
True
Thps4 hardly gets any love
and ps3 . from there to wastland were the ones that made me wanna go out actually buy a board and start skating even tho I don't anymore and bmx now. never the less it inspired me to have any interest at all in extreme sports if u wanna call it that. in fact I fired up my ps2 last night just to play the college level again for the nostalgia.
I just replayed all of these last week. At least 1-underground 2. THPS4 was the height of mechanics but besides alcatraz there isn’t much inspiration in level design.
THPS4 is my favourite
I thought the general consensus was that thps4 was the best one!
cdock congrats
THPS3 will always be my favorite. It's the one I played as a kid that got me into the series and gave me so many great nostalgic memories, so nothings ever going to beat that.
Multiplayer in THAW was such a blast to play! It's really the last great Tony Hawk's game to be released
Oh man, thanks for giving THUG some love, that game just had so much content and customization. Such a step forward for the franchise in so many ways and it sucks that it didn't keep going in that direction.
RedWolf green day rock band :D
This entire video had me at the edge of my seat. Lmao. Having played and worshipped every single major game throughout my childhood. Thank you for actually breaking down the mechanics and bs this series went through. Strait up thug 1 was the best. So ahead of it's time and such a great addition to the series with it's level design and new innovations. 7 year old me was stoked to hear that and current 23 year old me couldn't agree more. As I got older and new games came out on next generation systems I always found my self going back the thug 1, even to this day. Thanks man this video made me really happy. Keep up the killer vids and don't stop doing what ya love.✌️
Really good video. Although in my heart THPS2 is my all time favourite, I feel honestly your list is the right one. All of their positions make sense. But can I just say for next time, try not to have such overpowering music, and try to consistantly keep the same distance when talking to the mic between takes. Some parts of the video I had to turn up and focus to hear you.
Thanks man, please check out my latest videos and let me know if I've improved my sound!
If you had Dreamcast you could unlock the space map and Spider-Man. Spider-Man also had some cool tricks that he used by slinging his web
Yeah he's on all the versions but definitely blew my mind as a kid cause I was fan of the Spiderman game too.
oddheader I tried to unlock the space map on Nintendo 64 and there was a cheat code on N64 to unlock Spider-Man but it never seemed to work. I ended up meeting up all the requirements to unlock Spider-Man but I never did. I don't know if I just had an early version of the game that didn't support it or what. Anyways my friend had a Dreamcast and I played with Spider-Man and on the space map all the time.
Weird I know he definitely works on the PS1 version I used play as him all the time. I thought I remembered him being the in N64 version too...
Wasteland and underground are my favorites . Both had good storylines and great soundtracks
Great list, American Wasteland should be a bit higher because it feels like the Underground games. UG1 is reasonably the best and thanks for heads up about that project at the end.
Thug 2 and wasteland are so nostalgic to me
THUG 2 was my favorite that was the one I grew up on
Nice video man, a little quiet sometimes but really well done
Thanks man, please let me know if you think the audio's improved in my latest videos.
Nice video. Agree with your opinions and its well written, my only gripe would be that the background music is too loud, there were times were I could barely understand what was being said
Thanks for the feedback! I plan to use a better mic next video and to normalize the audio better. I noticed as well there were some spots I could have boosted the vocal.
THUG is so good and it is still so good after many many years. Map design is just awesome & I can't get enough of Manhattan or Moscow map. Also it felt so good to play it online in ps2 and whole online thing in ps2 was so new and I was like 10yo kid trying to tell my mom to buy ps2 netadapter so I can play online with randoms and friends. Damn, good times. I have it on my computer, ps2 and xbox. Fireball game mode and all those awesome songs
THUG was seriously my favorite out of all of them to play online.
American Wasteland has a special place in my heart, if the first three games introduced me to some of the best bands ever, THAW got me into Hardcore Punk and all that good stuff. Plus, the amount of content is great, a campaign and classic mode
THAW was fantastic, it was a creative concept with a really smart story line. Disagree with the rank
props for placing Project 8 fifth, underrated gem
Woah woah woah
@@Kingzs !!!
But that first level is fun
big facts , i love project 8
@@iceyicon Great game but haven't played it in like 10 years, was the first skateboarding game I played I think
Gonna be honest, my favorites were THUG 2 and Proving Grounds. It could be because I didn't play a lot of those kinds of games since I was never any good at them, but THUG2 had my favorite story and Proving Grounds I loved because of the different ways you could take your story. Having Rigger, Pro and Hardcore mission options made it feel like the story was tailored to the way I preferred to have fun in the game. Granted, I would usually go back to previous levels and try to complete other mission types, but a lot of the combo stuff tended to be difficult for me to do.
THUG 2 was probably my favorite, having the very most you could do in the game, the customization, and the story -while whacky- put some pretense into what you were doing. Proving grounds would be my follow up. It was semi lackluster but it brought a lot of great ideas from project 8. Thaw was tough but since it had a lot of elements like thug 2, I had to give it to proving grounds just simply for the innovation.
I had the most memories of Pro Skater 4, since it was one of my first PS2 games
I agree THUG is my favorite too. I remember when my bro got this game, and when I first played it, I thought Tony Hawk games were going in the right direction. Just sucks how Hawk games are now. I just ordered this, and THPS 4 to relive my childhood. Not to get personal but my bro passed away, and I'm really stoked to play these 2 titles bc it was just a really happy time in our lives. I hope Hawk games improve, but I think they won't..
I'm sorry hear about your bro man. I always played those games with my brother too. Such great memories to have.
Thank you so much for that, that means a lot. I hope your bro is well, awesome vid man.
OMFG YEEEES Tony Hawk Underground is the greatest. Amazing story, level development, and fun.
I literally beat this game 10+ times. So much Nostalgia and I miss it.
#RemasterTonyHawkUnderground
omg i couldn't believe you fell both those huge combos at the end hahahah awesome vid!
Cool video but that mic quality is really inconsistent, you should fix that for next time.
Got a new recording booth and troubleshooted all my equipment. Ready to rock.
great video, disagree with some of the entries but solid points throughout and well explained opinions, I agree with 95% of 'em
also you should look into mixing your audio a bit better, your mic was really quiet in some parts
it looks like you're pretty new to youtube so this is a wonderful video for how little experience I'm guessing you have
Thanks so much. I made a full investment in converting my closet to my recording booth, so definitely expect stronger quality from here out!
oh shit dude, that's exciting, I'll be looking forward to your other work
American Wasteland is the first tony hawk game I played and personally my favorite. It had a good soundtrack that helped develop my taste in music and the skate montage at the end with all the pros got me into skateboarding
Anyone who skateboarded (seriously) at the dawn of the 2000s knows that THPS 2 is the undisputable #1. Sure this guy who narrates this video stated that its from a gamer's point of view, but people who played the game and didn't understand skateboarding shouldn't hold the validity of someone that was obsessed with skateboarding at this time. The first 2 games were something very special to skateboarders and skateboarding.
Man, THUG was so good... shame I sold it all these years ago -.-
"Run fatboy run, run faboy run"
For being such a low subscriber count channel, the production value is really high, great actually! Great list too. THAW is the one i've played the most, so it's my favorite. I can agree on why it' low on the list though.
Thanks so much! I hope to have another video out on a similarish subject in the next week or so.
When you dropped that combo at 13:00 I felt that
3:30 you only played this one time. You need to give another chance, this game is fun.
Thaw at 11 *TRIGGERED*
So apparently the only TH game I have played is the best one of the bunch, I'm not surprised though, I absolutely loved that game
Damn, lucky!
I'm so happy you gave THUG the top spot, glad I'm not the only one who seems to agree!
