How to Decide
Tony Hawk's Underground is known for its story‑driven skateboarding experience with deep customization, and it’s used by skateboarding fans and action gamers. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Tony Hawk's Underground 2 leans into worldwide skate locations and tag‑sticker customization; Tony Hawk's Proving Ground emphasizes a full video‑editing suite and on‑the‑fly terrain‑building mechanics.
When weighing these options, focus on (1) the breadth of customization – from Underground 2’s visual tags to Proving Ground’s video editor and terrain tools; (2) multiplayer scope – Underground 2 offers only local split‑screen while Proving Ground adds online play; (3) platform coverage – Underground 2 stays on PC/PS2, whereas Proving Ground moves to PS3/Xbox 360; and (4) the depth of skate physics and trick mechanics, which differ between the titles.
