This game differs not only in name from the previous titles but also focuses on the idea of story mode, where the player progresses their character from a local skater to a sponsored pro skater. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 was released in October 2004, and it is quite similar to its prequel and features many old faces, including Eric Sparrow (your previous "friend" from THUG).
