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.
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.
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.
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
@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
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
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
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
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.
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.

@@SJ-su1ki he was a bitch in proving ground aswell😂
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.
That was a cheap shot

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.

"Uhh, look. I gotta finish this meal before I go out to eat."
That line always makes me laugh!
Me too Lmfaoo
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.
Best skateboarding game, ever
I think it's my favorite too
I found thug 2 my favorite

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
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
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 😄

@@christiankallio8586 right lol got em mixed uo
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.
The "home sweet home what a dump" opening line during the intro to New Jersey gives me a huge wave of nostalgia
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
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 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
"You backstabbin', mob flippin' cockroach!" -The THUG 1 protagonist, 2003

*ollies a quarter mile off a roof*
I remember they wanted you to do a Mctwist
@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
Over a Helicopter

Over a flying helicopter no less. GODDAMN

Coming from Jersey, this opening course is where I spent the most time!
Na
Gah, I remember How much I hated Eric as a kid playing this.
thanks for capitalizing “how”
7:04 I always liked when the user threw shade to that asshole who treated him like shit at the check in gate.
I still think of how much I hate sparrow
Yes

He legit looks like a skinhead
“Skating is supposed to relax me, not stress me out.”
This stuck in my head for everything I do.
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
"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
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
13:40 bam talking about tanks was the funniest thing ever 😂😂
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
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
Legend has it Bam is still looking at those tanks
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 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.
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
19:50 was such an iconic part of the game! made me love that game and the song was so damn epic as well!
16:48 is such a hilarious throwaway line
“He probably skates for minimum wage”
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.
This needs to be remade. NOW.
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.

We all know a guy like Eric
One of my favourite games. Still playing to this day.
Eric Sparrow is such a snaaaaake
Back when games would resonate with you. Being a lil punk kid skatin and bombing around the east coast. Man I miss them days.
Best game in the series :)
Were those two drug dealers at the New Jersey subway station Jay and Silent Bob?
Make sense if they're in Jersey lol
Yuuuuuuuuuuup
Skittles means skills! classic
What are ya, from Idaho??
Best skateboarding game ever made. Brings back such good memories
It’s so good, we can’t go skating right now. Look at these tanks!!! *DAYYYUM!* - Bam
that elbow at the end was beyond satisfying
4:32 wait a minute...
I paused when I saw that too. Eerie prediction if you ask me
He's standing on his face, not his neck
This scene is now damaged
@@M4DAttack 4:47 thats not his neck?
@@smashguy7986 old comment but I realized that a month later
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!

Maybe a remake? :0
I was so young when I played this then got older, started skating and now rewatching this I understand everything 😂
"It's a needle, but it moves like a sewing machine" 🤣
I think that's a Bobby Lee joke
Man, you can see how Eric Sparrow became a villain. Never knew the protagonist was his friend at that time.
This brings back a lot of nostalgia
7:04 damn he's still salty about the spot rejection
Hell yeah best game ever!!!! This game and TRUE CRIME LA are one of my fav classics!! Such good stories
My childhood. Amazing memories
eric is like that one friend who gives your real id to the cops when u having teen party at home
DAMN LOOK AT THESE TANKS
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
04:52 yo this dude is a damn magician!!
"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!
These cut scenes look like they were animated by rockstar
Soundtrack was incredible, the best skateboarding game ever.
Still crazy how Eric was the homie and then just backstabbed him sooooooo hard. Like wow
I need to finish my meal before I go out to eat
Look at these tanks
An outstanding cutscenes for Tony Hawk's Underground.
Andy and sid hanging out for the first time 😂😂 15:00
“And yo…..Merry Christmas”
8:00 always got me as a kid lol
13:42
"oh tanks look at this tank damn look at these tanks" 😂😂
Whoever you are I'm drunk at 2:00 this is my childhood I can't believe I haven't found this yet shame that's never came up in my feed
6:05 it looks like tony hawk clipped that skateboard into his hands, he is the real spider man :o
You gotta love his cameo there.🛹
Look for 22:22 You slam, Eric Sparrow catch the tape.
4:30 this feels kinda weird now...
Yes. I'm not the only one who noticed
😯
FBI OPEN UP
Yeah... imagine if you modified the player character more...
Duuudeeee
Eric is the greatest antagonist
Bro the nostalgia from this is CRAZY, thank you 🥹
“Remember I use to torch action figures with you?” - Eric Sparrow
8:00 Nyedededede 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That shit used to kill me as a kid
13:38 was an absolute favorite of mine too, just watching Bam lose his mind over tanks lol
“Damn look at these tanks” 😂😂😂
I remember my parents got me this for Christmas played it all the time
“skating didnt change, you’re the one that changed”
Remastered would be lit asf
I like how this video is more underground than your thug 2 movie video
@@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.
Awesome video keep it up this game is so nostalgic
Thanks bro!

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.
Please give us a remaster/remake of this game. The nostalgia watching this was wild
You're on a roll bro with 8k subscribers
Yeah man! :)
Jonathan. I’m surprised he doesn’t have at least 50k. His tutorials for the Tony Hawk games are great and he even made PROJECT 8 look easy
Guess where he's at now
Best tony hawk game by far.
"It ain't nothin' like fist full of cash or a bliss full of the hash that twist like a mustache!!"

Might be just a game but just goes to show talent will take you far
