I am in a video game rut, and once the "vowage" is undertaken, this is high on my list with things to remedy. I must "find a new game". Right up there with "putting babies inside the wife".
I will pay you a shiny, semi-used nickel to compare it to other Tony Hawk games, which I stopped buying in 2000, but miss.

Well, here's the deal: I own several Tony Hawk Pro Skaters (1, 2, maybe 4) and I've had THUG for some time. I kept buying them even though I was *terrible* at them and never got beyond the first level on any of them.
So in my tradition of "keeping on buying them" I got THUG2:Remix for my PSP. And something in the tutorial *clicked* and I figured out how to play the game. So a couple levels into THUG2, I dug out my copy of THUG for the PS2 and started flying through it. By staying up until 2 am last night, I'm at the big "shoot your big video" penultimate level of the story mode.
So... I dunno how it compares. I may pull out my copies of THPS 1-4 (ish) and see if my new skills are backwards compatible.
But it's super fun. And, I know this is a Dan-fave, the skaters are super customizable.
