Despite the GBA ports, the series never got a true handheld port, but with the release of PSP, the game series finally got it's first good port of Tony Hawk. A remix version of the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox hit, the game added four more levels, deleted some of the mindless cut scenes, and gave us everything else good about the same old game. A couple faults were seen, but that really dosen't hurt the game, because the game is still solid, and this port is a great port indeed.
The classic gameplay is still here, with no real changes. Since the PSP does not have two analog sticks, you have to use the control pad to do trucks. I am used to the stick, so it took a little whlie to get used to it, but after a whlie, I got the hang of it, and it works like a charm. The graphcis had a little downgrade in terms of visuals, but that's not really suprising. The game still looks mighty fine though, it sure beats the blocks DS version or the anarchic 2-D visuals. Thanks to the PSP, people can play Ton Hawk on the go, and they still get everything the console version had to offer, plus new levels and a face map editor, which means you can put your face in the game. Pretty cool stuff. Let's see the DS offer a rich gaming expirence like that. It can't touch that.
You know the gameplay itself is rugged and solid at the same time, but the presentation is not bad either. The graphics are great, as the framerate did not take a dip of any kind. you can see the scenery of the other levels far as the eye can see. The snazzy water effects and other small things are intact as well. The soundtrack stayed the same, as the did not add or delete any songs, it was untouched. There is not much to say, because any Hawk fan knows why the like the game, adn this game will please anybody who likes the series. This is a no-brainer, and it survived the port process, so there is no reason not to buy this if you already have it. And for the price, it's a nobrainer, like I said before.
Fun Stuff!!! December 18, 2006

This is actually the first THUG game I have played. I have no clue how well the PS2 version handles, and frankly, I don't care! This game is more than enough fun for me!! It's controls are a little crazy sometimes (That distracts from the gameplay) but its off-the-wall humor, and crazy situations make it a really incredible game, especially for Tony Hawk game fans!! If you have a PSP and want a fun (Long) game, get this one. You won't be disapointed!!
 The Hawk hits the PSP and it's better than expected. April 12, 2006

Tony Hawk's Underground 2 for the home consoles were really good Tony Hawk games because they were just a whole lot different from the rest of the games in the series; really unique and strange. Here is my review for THUG2 Remix for the PSP.
This game is a lot like the console versions, but there are a few things different about this game. First, the character customization is a little bit better because there is more choices for items to put on your character. Not a lot, but there are a few. Second, the levels appear in different orders, and some of the older levels from past Tony Hawk games appear in this version instead of the console ones. For instance, on both versions you start off in the level Training; which is exactly the same for both versions. But the next level on the PS2 or any other console would have been Boston, but on the PSP it's Santa Monica, which is in Tony Hawk 2 I believe as well as Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.
Graphics: 8.5/10. The graphics in this game during game play looks very similar to the earlier versions of this game. They look really good for a handheld. There is really just one thing that I don't like: the vides/cutscenes. Normally in a game the cutscenes have better graphics than the actual in-game graphics, but in THUG 2 Remix, the graphics are actually worse, and the graphics are really glitchy and blurry. The videos are definitely not pretty to watch, but the overall in game graphics look really, really good.
Sound: 9/10. The sound is pretty much the same as the earlier versions, there are even some songs from the older version's soundtrack in this one too, but there are also different songs; not just the same exact ones that are in the PS2 and Xbox versions. The voices are well done, and the rest of the skateboard sounds sound good, too.
Control: 7/10. Yeah. Controls... I never really had a problem with a single games controls until I played this game. These controls are just confusing, stupid, and makes you wonder more than once "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T SONY HAVE TWO ANALOG STICKS PUT ON THE PSP!?!?" Since you can't change the controls, yes, SINCE YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE CONTROLS, this is how you play. You have to skate around with the D-Pad; which sounds okay, but since the PSP is known for it's somewhat unresponsive D-Pad, it really isn't easy to do. If you try to press two buttons on the D-Pad at once ( Like turning while on your board without moving ) it's actually very hard to do unless you are off your board because you have to press down extremely hard for this to work; and it isn't even worth it. You will find yourself in some kind of a race to get points in story mode, and you won't be able to do it because the controls are so out of whack. When you press L to get off your board, you can use the D-Pad to walk, or analog stick to run. The rest of the buttons pretty much are just like the PS2 version; X to ollie, Triangle to grind, Square for flip tricks, and O for grabs. The controls are just terrible for me because of the fact you HAVE TO USE the D-Pad to move; I would have much rather been able to use the analog stick.
Fun: 7.5/10. All-in-all, this is a decent game worth checking out even if you have played the console versions. Sure this game's controls are mediocre, the nice graphics, the good soundtrack, the somewhat long gameplay makes this a buy to hardcore fans. There is even Ad-Hoc multiplayer ( short distance multiplayer ) for up to ( It's either 4 or 8 players ). That adds to the experience. It would have been nice to have Infrastructure, though. ( Online ). So whether you've already beaten Tony Hawks Underground 2, THUG 2 Remix has some new levels, some older levels Underground 2 didn't have, and it's portable. If you are a die-hard Hawk fan, you should buy this game; even though the controls really are pretty damn bad.
8.1/10
