Tony Hawk's Underground Hitches A Ride

Posted by simoniker on Friday August 22, 2003 @08:05PM 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.

Whats the big deal with being able to grab onto a car to get speed? Couldn't we do this in Hawk 4.0?

Larger levels and missions sounds fun, can't wait to see that. It's all about knowing where the good skate spots are in yer hood. When we can do in game tagging on the ditches and it gets saved, or the curbs start out fresh and get that truck and deck grind build up, or if your wall rides left marks that also get saved, then we have something. more persistence!
