      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.

      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.

    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...

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.

    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.

      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

    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'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

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.

    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.

  • @zephyrstrife4668
    @zephyrstrife4668 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    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.

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 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.
