Tony Hawk's Underground Hitches A Ride

Posted by simoniker on from the hawk-theft-varial dept.

Thanks to IGN PS2 for their hands-on preview of Tony Hawk's Underground, the latest in the multi-million selling Tony Hawk skateboarding game franchise. Evolutionary changes include "the ability to hop off your board and go around on foot", hitting inaccessible locations and new combos, and you can also now even "...hitch a ride on passing cars... [and] take control of a few automobiles" - hopping in and out GTA-style? Narcissism is also in, as you can "...pull a digital print of your own face into the game via the network adaptor and play as yourself", as the developers try to mix things up after the high-quality, but not mindblowing Tony Hawk 4.

    Grand Theft Auto 4 will support skateboards. In combination with some better city design, the Tony Hawk series is rendered unnecessary.

    Or maybe the two games could combine. What's the bonus for a 720 while carrying a rocket launcher?
