Tony Hawk's Underground 1&2 | RedBerylFTW 

I remember how the tagline in the commercial for the game was "you are a punk" then when I got it for Christmas I was ecstatic and told my parents, "awesome, now I can be a punk" and they were like "uhhhh okay?" 😂

Almost 20 years later and I still have a deep hatred for Eric

Loved THUG1 as a kid, and as an adult, I still do

Both THUG and THUG2 hold a special place in my heart. With THUG I possibly wouldn’t have found Refused or continued to listen to Bad Religion. THUG2 got me into Johnny Cash, so a real polar opposite. THUG2 feeling like Jackass the Game is very of it’s time. Jackass and Viva La Bam were massive so it made sense for them to use it’s popularity. But playing it years later would seem odd with that bandwagon well and truly left the station.

Gameplay wise Underground 1/2 and American Wasteland are sooo much fun and the best in the whole series. Makes me really sad we'll probably never get remakes.

THUG was the peak of the series! I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes the San Diego level. It's my favorite because I grew up in San Diego and have skated at some of those spots in real life.

honestly, you're right that THUG had 10-11 year-old me wanting to skate.

I was 14 when THUG came out and I was a huge THPS fan before. I don't think I will ever be as hyped for a game as I was for THUG. It's my favorite Tony Hawk game and in my top 5 favorite games of all time. Its just such a special game to me. THUG 2 was good though. I like it alot. Its the basis for THUGPRO and I really liked Viva La Bam/Jackass when it came out. Combining both of those was so cool for my teenage self when it came out. THPS is still my favorite game series. I still play THUGPRO and THPS1+2 these days.

Thanks to you I'm re playing Tony Hawk, so much fun. I just reached Tony Hawk 4 so T.H.U.G. is around the corner. 🤗☀️❤️

Being a skateboarder myself these games had a huge impact on life. Especially help shaping my taste in music.

They sound track really is legendary I still listen to alot of the artist on it

I spent hours playing hide and seek with my friends in thug2 lol you find a spot get off your skateboard and face the wall or the corner so they cant tell from your side of the screen where you are, and the story and characters maps in thug 2 were just excellent in 2006. Never did play thug 1 though

Love everyone's comments in here about their music taste being shaped by these games, it's always a big part when I see videos about the THPS series or anything from around that era tbh. These videos are so nice to watch and can tell you're just as much of a extreme sports game nerd like the rest of us. Keep em coming!

I loved both these. To be honest, THUG blew my mind when it came out, THPS 4 did, too, but I think these two were my favourites. I have to pick THUG 1 but skate ranch in 2 was really awesome.

Just by going off the background music, you have a good music taste with the song choice from TH you are using. You have been using some of my favourite bands!

Playing online was so much fun back then.

Tony Hawk's Underground was one of my favourite games as a kid, I remember replaying a bunch of the games back in 2019 for nostalgia's sake and realizing I still had all the muscle memory from when I was a kid, all coming from Underground 1 and Pro Skater 2 and 3. They don't make em like this anymore

Underground 2 was my favourite tony hawk game because of the maps . It still holds up to this day. I have been playing american wasteland recently never played it when I was young, but I will go back to Underground when I'm done . Love the videos

American wasteland is my fav in the series

THUG is home to my second favorite level of the whole series, that being Slam City Jam (no bias, despite being Canadian lol) Only beat by Skater Island from THPS3, which is fitting given THPS3 is my favorite TH game and THUG is my second favorite TH game

The personal experiences of people who played games like these are a huge reason why i love videos like these. Makes me feel connected knowing the stories and memories people made with these games are close to mine.

Just started replaying them, it’sa good 🤩

I loved THUG so much as a Kid... when THUG2 came out, I actually was disappointed for the first time with the Tony Hawk Games...

i might sound completely contrarian, but i straight up muted the whole soundtrack when i was playing thug2 back then, both in remix and the pc port. i was the type of guy to listen to music seperately from the game. skating to deftones just hits

*Raises finger in the air slowly* “I think thug 2 is better. But great video keep up the great work ❤”

Great video m8. Keep up the good work.

Love Underground, best Tony Hawk game ever! Try Prince Of Persia the PS2 trilogy lml

Imagine if we got a thug 1+2 remake

I remember getting THUG 2 during a trip in California, in 2005 surprisingly not even knowing the game existed in the first place (despite being a huge tony hawk fan) then me and my brother started playing it at my aunt's house while over there. I remember my mom being appalled when Paulie called me a bitch after kicking me in the leg 😂. Ahhh, good times. I played the story multiple times

Hey man been binging all ur videos and as a younger guy who didn’t get to grow up playing these games, it’s been a really fun look into these older games I woulda never touched. Recently played a few like harmonics and really enjoyed them. Thug 1 is the first game I’ve played that you’ve reviewed and I really felt like you did a great job encapsulating a lot of the emotions I had playing the game. Love the vids bro

ngl I thought I thought Boston + Barcelona made for a very strong opening act

Been loving these. The tony hawk games are my childhood too and shaped my whole music taste. Will you be doing American Wasteland?

Just finished thug 2

Do backyard skateboarding

I like your videos

Was that Dropkick Murphys in the background

Having played THUG2 as it came out when i was the exact age and immaturity it were made for, i agree with your take that THUG2 is painfully lifeless. I still played the hell out of it because of course I did, it's the gameplay peak of the series, but i definitely got my fill of crass humor for crass humor's sake for the rest of my life during that time. I know i'm in the minority, but I actually don't care for THUGPRO that much. If I want to play a Tony Hawk game for the sake of playing a Tony Hawk game, i gravitate to some version of THPS2 both because it was the first one i played and because i prefer the feel of those physics when playing casually.

American wasteland next!! My 2nd fav!

I love THPS 1-4 to death but to me these 2 and American Wasteland is the total absolute pinnacle of the entire series gameplay wise (haven't played Project 8 or Proving Grounds yet) I wish THUG 1 at least would get a remake or at least a remaster with some QoL features added someday

Are you going to review Disneys Extreme Skateboarding? It's just a THPS4 reskin with questionable commercials in the game, but I have very fond memories of the game especially because the gameplay is really solid which is no surprise as it's basically THPS4 lite.

THUG 1 is one of my favorite games of all time, i used to be extremely scared of the Neversoft "monster in the sewers" logo and the Evil Tiki. THUG 2 is just alright to me honestly. The gameplay is fantastic but the story hasn't held up well

@11:14 How is sticker slap another good thing to have? It's does the same thing as the wallplant except it leaves a decal behind. They should've just had wallplants leave a decal behind instead instead making another mechanic that's identical. Also it being mapped to X means you can't buffer ollie when airbourne.

What’s that first skateboarding game you show off in your intro? Looks kinda fun tbh

I lost the game

What's the game during the intro?

You forgot to set the game to widescreen. Why do people not see this? If you play in 4:3, just have bars left and right. Don't stretch it.

what about thug2remix?

what game is that in the very beginning?

tbh as soon as Bam Magera and his crew was involved... it was a no go for me. I hated the show (Jackass) back then and all the stupid stuff they did (old man i know... i started with THPS1 and loved 2 played a little bit of 3)

Got one for ya, “Freestyle Metal X” on the ps2. Midway (i think) Freestyle motocross game features some metal mulisha guys
