How it feels

A loud, irreverent skateboarding playground where pulling off ridiculous tricks across global landmarks feels effortlessly fun and gleefully over-the-top.

About

You've been chosen by Tony Hawk to compete against Bam Margera's team in the World Destruction Tour. In an all-new storyline, Tony Hawk's Underground 2 takes you to skateparks around the world, where you can spray your custom tag, slap stickers, and even create new skate lines. Now you can play as yourself, as your teammates, or as more than 20 special skaters. If you're feeling nostalgic for older Tony Hawk games, you can try Classic mode, which challenges you to accomplish your favorite goals, such as Secret Tape and High Score.

What players say

A chaotic, irreverent skater that ditches the earnest story for Jackass-style mayhem and crude humor, which players either love as goofy fun or resent as a step too far. Mechanically deep but tonally dated and divisive.
