2006

One of the greatest titles to come pre-open world Rockstar

This game is so good, but so fucking long.

Wonderful linear game. Amazing noir storyline. Gameplay could have been better. Extra points for the accurate recreation of 1940s LA

The best "MC is completely out of his element" game ever made. Max is a 1980s rogue cop badass-type in a city where everyone is in the dirty game. The gameplay is glorious, and the story is a good way to say goodbye to our favorite monologuing, painkiller-addict.

Grandaddy of the bullet times. Dated, but still very fun. Aesthetics are unmatched.

A complimentary piece to the film, and one of the funnest multiplayer experiences of its time. An absolute blast to play with a friend on couch co-op

Captures the spirit of the show really well. Great OST, and the ad-libs make for a hilarious experience.

The soundtrack is a masterpiece and it is a comfort game of legend. I always come back to it, every now and then.

This game actually got me to start caring about wrestling. It is a pioneer of genre-conventions and the atmosphere is so Y2K that you will get frosted tips by the end of it.

Heresy, but maybe it is because I started the Tony Hawk's Series by the time they had an open world-ish thing going on, so the arcade gameplay in short bursts wasn't right for me. However, I can recognize its genius simplicity and the wonderful OST.

Now this is where things started getting really fun for me. Getting rid of the time limit and adding a little bit more of context to the missions did wonders. Strong create-a-skater mode and a killer soundtrack, as usual.

The holy grail of Tony Hawk's games for me. Going for an actual narrative and putting your skating tour over the world in context did wonders for me. Eric Sparrow is still one of the most hated villains in gaming, and I could quote most of the dialogue by memory. One of the best soundtracks, too

How do you make Underground better? Add more locations, more modes, ramp up the stupid shenanigans and give us all the edge of the 2000s punk rock era in game form. The story is nothing to write home about this time, but the game more than makes it up by going ham on the premise and giving you a satisfying experience of destroying absolutely everything in your path with your favorite pros. Outstanding OST, and extremely fun side-modes.

Good gameplay, fun controls, objectives, and locations. Extremely plain premise, "story", and pay-off to your grinding. The unsalted cracker of the Tony Hawk's series. The soundtrack was great, but it lacks the simplicity that made the earlier games great and the lovable campiness that made the latter games perfect.

My absolute favorite of the series. The storyline is extremely goofy, but it works out in that edgy, campy premise that we were all used to in the 2000s. The gameplay is incredible, the additions are great, and the customization of pretty much everything you can do deserves your attention. Outstanding soundtrack, memorable characters, an unparalleled aesthetic and a story that sticks out in the genre
