Tony Hawk’s Underground 2: Remix (2005) is often hailed as one of the best “Day One” titles for the PSP. While most handheld ports of the time were stripped-down versions of console games, Remix was actually the opposite—it contained everything from the PS2 version plus a massive amount of exclusive content, making it arguably the superior way to play THUG 2.
The “Remix” Content: What’s New?
The PSP version includes four exclusive levels that were not in the original console release. These levels were so well-received they were later added to Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland.
-
Santa Cruz: A massive beachside level with a boardwalk, pier, and a lighthouse.
-
Atlanta: A night-time city level featuring the Georgia Dome and a dense urban layout.
-
Kyoto: A beautiful Japanese level with traditional temples and high-tech skyscrapers.
-
Las Vegas: A neon-soaked strip with casinos, fountains, and rooftops.
Story Expansion: These levels are fully integrated into the World Destruction Tour, meaning the story is longer, features new cutscenes, and includes more objectives than the original game.

Short Review: The Gold Standard of Ports
The Good
-
Zero Compromises: This is not a “lite” version. It has the same physics, graphics engine, and gameplay depth as the PS2.
-
Incredible Longevity: With the added levels and Classic Mode, you could easily spend 50+ hours trying to 100% everything.
-
Technical Marvel: It proved right at the PSP’s launch that the handheld could handle a high-fidelity console experience without stuttering.
The Bad
-
The “Analog Nub”: The game is much easier to play using the D-Pad for tricks, as the PSP’s sliding analog nub can be slippery for complex inputs.
-
Missing Park Creator: Sadly, the “Create-a-Park” mode was removed to fit all the other content onto the UMD.
