Underground 2 sequel, even wilder and more unhinged. Globe-trotting levels, absurd missions and proudly crass humour. Far less serious than the THPS sub-series but enormously cathartic. Not for everyone but cultivated by fans as a guilty cult.

Story
★★★★★
"Classic"
More unhinged still, the playlist strings together punk, metal and hip-hop in a joyful chaos perfectly in tune with the game's tone. The nervy tracks support the wildest tricks, fuelling the adventure's prankish humour. This infectious musical fury remains a treat for thrill-seekers.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Enter unabashed mayhem: a deranged world tour where you sow chaos, pile on absurd challenges and chain ever crazier combos. The openly delirious tone and the score-focused Classic mode multiply the instant fun. Bursting with ideas and gleeful bad faith, an arcade skater as unbridled as it is generous.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Sowing chaos by linking stunts and tricks across levels crammed with challenges drives you to chase ever longer combos and higher scores. The goals chain quickly, unlocking spots and bonuses, and the slightest bail relaunches the attempt. The juvenile humor and the repetitive formula divide opinion, but the raw pleasure of the grind keeps an immediate, stubborn hold.

Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (GameCube) price, value & rarity
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 PAL is the European edition of Neversoft's game, direct sequel to THUG with World Destruction Tour mode. Collector value comes from this being one of the last Tony Hawk titles released on GameCube.
Is Tony Hawk's Underground 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A direct sequel with a deliberately more humorous tone, Underground 2 takes the scripted formula of its elder and pushes it into pure madness thanks to the presence of Bam Margera and totally zany situations. Levels like Berlin or New Orleans overflow with inventiveness, the prank and chaos system creates an experience absolutely unique within the series. For anyone who likes skating with full on uninhibited nonsense, a very warm recommendation today still without any hesitation now indeed truly here.
