This quite easily the Tony Hawk series at it's peak.
Neversoft made a masterpiece with Underground by taking every single thing they have developed and experimented with over the years and combining it into one package filled to the brim with stuff to encounter and do.
Adding stuff like getting off your board is such a great addition that honestly, it should've been a thing since the first game because of how useful the ability to reposition yourself exactly the way you want in a game like this is.
The stages are, Incredible. The design, the possibilities for combos, every little thing is so well crafted you can end up doing a combo from the same starting point in like 50 million ways, it's a treat getting lost in these amazing maps based off of different American states and custom made skate parks or you can even build your own (which I never bothered with but hey someone will prob find that stuff addicting).
Not to even mention the other new stuff like the custom character custom boards and all which are just the cherry on top of this cake.
The missions are honestly the weakest part mostly because they can sometimes limit the stuff you can do in a game all about chaining combos in different ways but they can be fun in their own way.
I hope Eric Sparrow dies with a board up his ass.
Final Rating:
8-9 /10
