I'm 21, and decided to try the old first two Tony Hawk games on the PS1, and these were amazing. But my skateboard addiction was not fulfilled. I tried this PSP port of Tony Hawk Underground 2, and I'm AMAZED. A shit ton of amazing levels, with old levels as bonuses, a trick editor, a big solo campaign with semi open-world objectives, alongside a classic old school campaign, an amazing soundtrack, funny animations, and a great customization value (my character is a suited gentleman skeleton with the gold chain of Flavor Flav). And you have to think about it : it was released in 2005, when the DS only appears, and you have AN OPEN WORLD SKATEBOARDING GAME with a SHIT TON OF CONTENT, that you can play in your toilets or during a road trip ? Yeah, this is easily one of the best skate game ever made.

But it have some issues :
- The maps are often composed of tiny corridors, with the shitty camera and the sometimes clunky physics, this can be really tedious at times.
- No more skatepark creator, I'm sad.
- A few glitches here and there.

But nothing to stop the fun !
