With all of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games having now been remade (except for THPS 5, we don’t talk about that one), curiosity has naturally shifted to the Tony Hawk’s Underground series. And why wouldn’t it? Despite there being massive expectations for the new subseries due to its predecessors being the most celebrated skateboarding games of all time, the first Tony Hawk’s Underground game, released in 2003, was a bona fide hit that built upon its already sturdy foundation. Instead of there being levels with random goals and collectibles scattered throughout, Underground shifted to a more quasi-open world format with a fully fleshed-out story and characters that provided players with even more freedom.
