PSP Reboot #6: Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix

This one I have mixed feelings about.  There are some things that it does that most reboots don't typically do.  For instance, they added new levels to the story line to play through.  I don't remember which ones exactly but most of them included levels that were previously in classic mode on the original Tony Hawk's Underground 2 for Playstation 2.  This is actually done quite well as they include new unlockable characters for each of the levels and innovative goals that had the same charm and silliness as the original.  However, some of the functionality of the game is wack.  Sometimes cut scenes don't load the audio or they don't run at all forcing you to skip them.  Also, the SPAT logos that you have to graffiti tag are really hard to find considering that they were hard enough to find on a full size tube television let alone a tiny PSP screen.  The controls are pretty well transferred but occasionally you find yourself fighting with them a bit because you got used to playing these games with a PS2 controller.

The remake is decent.  If you can get this for five bucks, it's worth getting just for the extra levels.  Otherwise, I would stick with the PS2 version.
