TONY HAWK'S UNDERGROUND
The Tony Hawk series gets a healthy sprinkling of Grand Theft Auto this year. No, your character won't be soliciting prostitutes in a virtual 1980s Miami. But you do get to explore a virtual city, starting off as an unknown skateboarding hopeful and meeting legendary boarders and discovering remote boarding locations. Despite the changes,Ęthe game still incorporates the immensely enjoyable skateboarding gameplay that has worked so well in the previous four installments.
