Tony Hawks Underground Review GBA

Release Date

October 27, 2003

Gameplay

Skate, Run and Skitch your way to pro skater, almost. Some of the Challenges in the game are nearly impossible to do, H-O-R-S-E is sometimes impossible to do, and to beat the game at Slam City Jam, you have to go into the options and play “kid mode”. Despite that it’s really easy to pull together hundred-thousand point combos and it’s 10 levels including the 2 sub levels which are made just for stringing together combo after combo after combo. Another cool feature is the special tricks you start out with a selection of three and are only able to choose one. When you pump up your stats you earn a bigger selection of specials and then the real tricks come in. You can have up to 4 specials at one time.

Controls

They’re PERFECT, not much more to say about that.

Graphics

For a GBA the graphics are smoother than a fresh sheet of paper but overall sandpaper is smoother than those graphics.

Multiplayer

It’s okay.

Overall

This game has a below average replay value, but I play it twice a week. It needs a more original storyline instead of the whole “rags-to-riches” deal. Another Tony Hawk game, American Wasteland has a much more original storyline.
