Tony Hawk-Pretty good but not fabulous
You must be a diehard Tony Hawk fan to like this,like myself, since I never get tired of playing the Tony Hawk goals. It is essentially the same levels from the old games. The familiarity translated to a portable counterpart is nice but definitely not anything to write home about. It seems that there are very few newbies, although there was a Las Vegas level that I have never played before but not much else. This is the perfect translation from PS2 to PSP because the controls are exactly the same. One should just buy American Wastleland for Xbox or PS2 because then you can watch your skater on a much larger screen(your television or computer). One major complaint I have about this game is that the screen isn't large enough to accomodate the atmosphere of the levels and their grandour . The game is good on PSP but not one of those showcase games to the system that really emplify the PSPs greatness. The games that are truly great are included on the PSP sample disc with exception to ATV Offroad Fury(absolutly infuriating) It is the best Tony Hawk game for a portable game system because the graphics for it widely surpass that of the Gameboy consoles and Nokia phones. A friend of mine played American Wasteland on his Gameboy SP and I could hardly stand the basic, simple plainess of it after playing Underground 2 on PSP. Underground 2 is a fun game to keep for a couple weeks but you may get bored with it after playing it continually. American Wastleland for Xbox is much better than this particular game because there are no loading screens and it takes forever to load on the PSP. Again I would recommend American Wastleland for PS2 or Xbox. One would get much more satisfaction of playing these sort of games on a large high resolution flatscreen. Buy Underground 2 only under this circumstance: If you really like Tony Hawk and want to play it in the car, waiting room for the doctor, airport or any other situation where you are killing time this version will suffice.
awesome game
tony hawk rules all his games rock and the psp version rules too a must have for all tony hawk fans awesome game
Playful Game
It's not what I expected, but I'm not a skateboarder. So, I just play this game to feel like one. Although, it's a game that I am getting used to. I have the one in PS2, and it's fun to skate on rails, rooftops, powerlines, etc. Too bad can't do that in the real world. The first Tony Hawk: Underground was okay and I got that one too. I'm not far from the level that I'm on either one of them. But it's fun to play as a skateboarder, which makes you feel like one although not.
