Game description: Tony Hawk's Underground is a skateboarding-adventure video game published by Activision between 2003 and 2005 as part of the Tony Hawk's series. Underground is built upon the skateboarding formula of previous Tony Hawk's games: the player explores levels and completes goals while performing tricks. The game features a new focus on customization; the player, instead of selecting a professional skater, creates a custom character. Underground adds the ability for players to dismount their boards and explore on foot.

Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), INTC Spin Detection, Enable Wait Loop Detection, mVU Flag Hack, Still Playable. Game works fine at a good speed. MTVU will cause the game to freeze while booting. Needs VU rounding to nearest to solve graphical issues (patched in gamedb anyway if auto game fixes are on). | |

Seems to run great in menu, but slow during ingame (damn you laptop). Do not boot this game with full bios boot, it will make it glitchy and crash pcsx2. | chriztr |
