Just installed this game last night, and seeing as how I never played the first Underground game, I'm enjoying it a lot so far. The graphics & audio are as usual nicely done in this game as it's previous predecessors. I like this storymode they have in it. Offers a bit of a twist to the classic mode; which they also include in this game. The skaters though to me, look a bit shrunken or something. Kind of a different appearance than in the THPS series. Although that's not significantly a huge change, it did catch my eye. Pretty cool how you can also take a picture of yourself and superimpose it onto your own created skater. This was a bit tedious to get your face image to blend together properly with skin color and alignment, but it's a nice small new addition to say the least. I haven't tried the multiplayer aspect of it, but from what I hear, it offers a nice addition as well. Up to 8 players can play together online in various game-type modes. Curious if this will allow the use of custom created skateparks then into the whole online play aspect. All in all, I'm liking this game a lot so far. I've been a fan of the THPS series since the beginning, and this is a nice improvement and route that the game is expanding into. The mix of humorous shenaningans from Bam Margera and other misfits in the storymode adds a nice touch to the whole 'World Destruction Tour' scenario the storymode presents. Anyone else play this yet and would care to share their input/review of it here as well? :)
