 GameSpy: Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Review
When your games of choice are usually brain-busting strategy titles and time-intensive RPGs, you need something like Tony Hawk in your life if only to cleanse your gaming palate, shut off your brain for a while, and give your fingers a workout.
Even the series' diversion into story-driven gameplay in Tony Hawk's Underground only enhanced the game's basic appeal, the continual drive to jump ever higher and squeeze in that one extra trick on your plank without bashing your brains out on the concrete.
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (which, despite the name, is actually the sixth game in the series) doesn't veer too far off that line, merely adding a few new tricks to an already full bag.
