I wondered if I could be overexposed to tony hawk videos but I dont think its possible
Ha lol love the tony hawk videos though
I found that I can't find enough Tony Hawk videos on UA-cam
Never that
I'm subscribed to you too whats with you aussies and tony hawk? Lmao
@@skimaskedabiI don't know why us aussies always post content on the thps games
I always loved the PSP. It absolutely blew my mind that you could get essentially PS2 quality games on the go. One of the best portable systems for sure!
Yeah man it's a system that I seriously underestimated back in the day. if I knew how good Remix was, I probably would have bought one as a kid.
Square Eyed Jak Fuck Yeah. LEGO Star Wars II, LEGO Indiana Jones 1, and LEGO Batman are also console perfect ports.
@@ColtComanche favorite game would def have to be Vice city stories
Tbh ps vita was underrated
@@ColtComanche nah man you gotta try pirates of the caribbean
Everytime I watch these videos I dig the ps2 / PSP out again. Love Hawktober!
I didn't even know there *was* a GBA version of Underground 2. Probably for the best.
I actually had a great time with it but I was a lot younger back then
I can hear "Here Comes The Pain" OST in the background! 😍
The production values of this series is something I'd expect to see in the videos of someone with 2.5 millions subs, not 25K subs! And this is just from the first 20 seconds!
Awesome job as always Jak, you true blue Australian legend.👍
Cheers mate, appreciate it!
Totally agree 👌
@@SquareEyedJak the energy drink in the GBA version of underground looks like a Gatorade
Adore THUG 2 Remix. I've been playing games since the 80s, and I can remember only twice being left speechless when first playing games that signaled the beginning of a new console generation. One was playing the original Halo on the launch day of the Xbox, and the other was playing THUG 2 on the the launch day of the PSP. The fact that there was a handheld game that looked that good and played that well absolutely blew my mind.
This should've been a "Did you know?" in the video, but did you know that en entire rip of THUG2 Remix is located on the disc of the PS2 version of Shrek Superslam? Apparently, they did that to fill up space on the disc. Weird, right?
Can you use the ISO and play it on PS2? Lol I googled it and didn't see a whole lot more info. Outside of apparently PS1 Tigger Woods 99' has an episode of South Park on the disk for the same reason.
@@suzyL420 It's a PSP dump, and during the later half of the PS2's life, PSP games were commonly ported to the PS2, so I wouldn't doubt it's ability to run.
@@ToastyMann don't be absurd! Underground 2 running on PS2? What a preposterous proposition!
@@CrashFan03 well the original underground 2 was on ps2
@@heyhocodyo01 it's a joke
Hey Jak, just so you know, you can land a big drop by holding the jump button on the way down.
🤬🤬🤬
@@SquareEyedJak it was in the tips you disabled, max out Landing Stats to get rid off it.
Having No Cigar in bit version as background music was a nice touch!
20:07
Jak: "It's so weird to think that a portable game could ever be considered the superior."
Persona 4 Golden: "Am I a joke to you?"
Star Wars Unleashed on PSP too
Triathe _ and don’t forget you can speed through dialogue, making consecutive playthroughs no longer feel like a test of your patience
Dragon Quest 11 for Switch is the superior version too
Triathe _ people that think original is better are just hipsters that like to feel cool saying they prefer the original iteration like a goddamn loser
All switch games:what the fuck are you talking about?
11:52 In more ways than one, probably. On top of the the textured 3D models, the GBA also needs to play the streamed music, probably decompressing it on the fly so that they could fit on the cartridge. That’s likely what broke the camel’s back for the hardware and caused the slowdown in the game
I owned every game on console and played for over 10 years.. and I had no idea you could land big drops..
Yeah it's one of those things that you'd think appear as tips during loading screens but nope. No manual, no chance of knowing.
The 2+ decades I’ve been on this earth, I never knew you could land big drops either ._.
I fully expect a SmackDown series retrospective since you used a song from Here Comes The Pain.
Haha not happening
Already been done by someone else.

So my prayers have finally been answered thank you squares I missed you I've been so geeked for this event it's by far my most favorite event that you do and the great parties that comes every single year it's like Christmas but for skateboarders in Tony Hawk enthusiasts;)!
I saw the video before I got the notification...
So this is the power of Ultra Instinct?
Hands down my favorite PSP game.
I laughed so hard when I saw the GBA THUG 2 character models 😂
N7 Engineer lol same
One of the best PSP games ever. I remember being young and just in ultimate disbelief of how good it was compared to Xbox/PS2. Going to my friend’s house and playing online mambo combo matches. Good times.
Those rpg mechanics seem kinda fun to me haha
love this series! the tremendous amount of energy you put in to this really shows. Your channel might be small but its certainly one of the very best out there. Keep on rocking Jak!
Appreciate it mate, cheers!
i agree i love tuning into his videos i like his reviews a lot i’m glad he finally reviewed ty! actually i think i’ll rewatch those after this
Well since THUG 2 Remix came out a bit after the original THUG 2, there was definitely room for extra content, it's just a shame that the PSP was somewhat overshadowed by the DS, and furthermore, PSP versions of console games were held back a great deal due to the lack of a second analog stick and two extra shoulder buttons, but how they got the game to work with a limited control scheme is commendable.
6:19 - I too never knew how to land the Big Drops!
THUG2 GBA soundtrack gives me THPS3 N64 vibes
Great Video dude. I never played the origional Underground 2 and have only played 4, HD, and American Wasteland, so when I got remix and found out the absolute mountain of content they packed into a PSP game i was pretty damn impressed. Excited for Sk8Land, only ever heard good things and it looks crazy impressive for a DS game.
Apparently Vicarious Visions' Jet Set Radio GBA version came out around a year before THUG2, so I'd assume there was some groundwork for graffiti tags built into the engine by that time.
Bro you're talented keep making these videos they're excellent
Dude you're one of my favorite channels. Love your content
Once again amazing video keep up the good work. I been watching you since 2014 and every year your videos gets better and better
I found you Channel few day's ago and i've watched all of your Tony Hawk Videos. they are so good man,,, very very good job man.
Thank you very much! 😁
Never thought being so early to this video.
Really enjoying these recent reviews!
Underground 2 on the gba is an okay experience, *in fact I was playing the game earlier this year, and pretty much stopped once I found pro skater 3* I was actually baffled by the character models, but it did give me a laugh, as for the soundtrack, despite them being like 15 to 20 second loops, they did sound as decent as real music on a gba goes, considering it's in a tiny cartridge, they could've ended up as midi tracks, or something reassembling it, and Here's a real bummer for me, I played the classic mode in underground 2, upon completing it...for some reason, my save file was gone!!!! 😭😭😣😣 and I was so close to beating it.*
Yep I know the feeling of save data being deleted by game Makes me cry 😢 I had it With many games
@@n1njahawkssecondchannel84 it hurts even more when you're sooo close to beating it 😢😢 and I was close to beating underground 2 gba, I haven't touched it since.
Your videos are the best Jak!
I find that the Thug2 Remix levels are better than most of the original's levels. Atlanta and Kyoto are some of my favorites in the entire series, so I end up playing that more often.
Kyoto is really good and I enjoy Santa Cruz. Atlanta is pretty massive and I wasn't as big on the goals there and I never liked the casino in THAW. For me, it's more just having THUG 2 on the go that will have me coming back to this one in the future.
@@SquareEyedJak Yeah, I just play freeskate when I'm on the bus or something normally, great way to kill time.
Bruh you just brought me wayyy back I remeber I use to play that game on my Nintendo Ds and I still be playing skate 3 up to this day still
the PSVita definitely handles THUG2 Remix better when it comes to controls. It's perfect
I just wish there was a way to turn off the right analog stick cause sometimes I find it gets in the way. But THUG 2 Remix is one of my favorite games on my Vita. I sometimes forget I have 100s of other games to play cause sometimes I find myself zoning out on Thug 2 Remix. Its the best portable Tony Hawk's game hands down.
I have been waiting for a review for thug remix since it came out thank you def picking up a psp soon now
Jet Grind Radio music, niceee. I remember THUG 2 remix was my first PSP game and absolutely blew me and my friends' minds
great video dudeee I fkng love Tony hawk underground games
You got recommended for me and..
Starting a video with the best tony hawk games( Pro Skater 4 and Underground) gets you a sub.
Cheers! :D
The fact that the tony hawk games exist in the tony hawk universe and are acknowledged in THAW, THUG, and THUG2 makes me really question the tony hawk lore and how the games fit in the universe, are the games real events that happened, are they in alternate universes? Are the games just video games inside the series and THAW is the universe where the events of the game are real and the other games prior are just videogames inside the universe?
There's a popular joke about this but I think the pro skater series is unrelated since it doesn't have a "story", but the underground games and proving ground are the same universe. While american wasteland is seperate in it's own world.
I forgot about this channel til it popped up in my recommended again. Time for a binge
Sub and hit the bell dude, missing all the quality shit! 👍
I have never played the console version of THUG2, but I only played the PSP version and I could not stop playing it back then.
With the Big Drop landing I kinda did by accident XD then when I realised what I did I tried it a second time that's when I found out how to do it. XD I wasn't sure if you knew or not lol! Loved the video man Its surprising how a game that's the same can be much better in terms of content etc. :D
Remix was my main experience with underground 2, was basically as good as the real thing
0:57 loving the wwe here comes the pain song 😊
I like how you sneakily fit in some Jet Set Radio songs. A great fit!
This is music from wwe hctp
@@nevermindgaming6848 I hear Magical Girl at 16:10, and I don't remember if it's this video or some other but I remember hearing Humming the Bassline in some of Jak's Tony Hawk videos.
6:23
Love when he opens the case up, revealing the no manual.
Must have taking a dozen trys.
I like that his eye sight and acting isn't alined with his
idle hands
I like it when Donkey Kong is staring straight at Square Eyed Jak.
man thug 2 on psp was literally my childhood
Love the background midi songs of the original soundtracks ✌️
JSR music in a Tony Hawk video? Perfect. 👌
Because that’s what a series where you skate in airports and pirate ships as Spider-Man and Wolverine needs.
Realism.
Imagine Spider-man falling from a roof being like "woah i feel dizzy, I should wear a stronger helmet next time"
Square Eyed Jak Imagine Wolverine with his self-healing saying the same thing. Even funnier.
Can't wait to see you play Tony Hawk's American Sk8land. I heard it's very good.
I'm looking forward to him playing the gba version.
I downloaded this and played it in full on my phone with an 8bitdo controller. Was a lot of fun.
11:30 I bet the reason is the licensed soundtrack. The Game Boy Advance's audio has no dedicated hardware, so a continuous streaming soundtrack is causing the issues. (It's probably also an MP3 considering we're on cartridge, and MPEG decoding is also taxing.)
Oh the nostalgia of the "music pow pow powweerrrr!" In the beginning
6:46 Bruh I'm glad you kept it real
What was especially weird about THUG2 GBA was that Eric Sparrow was alot more of a nice guy in this version and is even giving you objectives in Skatopia. Also Nigel Beaverhausen is nowhere to be found.
Loving the here comes the pain music
I have underground 2 remix on psp and love it! In fact, I got it from my cousin a while back and got to buy a psp for it a few months ago and can now also play several other hand me down games from him.
I put SO many hundreds of hours into THUG 2 remix. I regret selling my psp only for this game alone. Nothing like having a full console experience on the go back then
Fun Fact: 4 Stages from Thug 2 Remix (Kyoto, Santa Cruz & Las Vegas) are recycled in American Wasteland and the Collector Edition of American Wasteland brought back Atlanta
Fantastic content as usual Jak! I am very impressed by how much they squeezed into THUG on GBA, makes me sad that I missed out on it when I was younger. Can't wait to see what you have to say about Sk8land!
Keep up the good work my guy 👍
Thug 2 remix is by far my favorite psp game
I could probably survive purely on TH videos if they were this well made. Great job!
only clicked to say props for using a neckface font in the thumbnail
Thanks, just subscribed
4:59 Candy BarRRs
Wow! 2 Hawktober videos in one day! (in eastern canada)
I don't care.
I don't even like vode games.
@@stevenmills6502 Video*
Also why the fuck are you watching this then when you dont like video games???
Hey Jak, I just wanted to tell you that Vicarious Visions did something unbelievable before the N. Sane Trilogy, as they developed FIVE versions of the Spider-Man 3 game, the Wii, GBA, DS, PSP, and PS2 versions! Is that talent or what!
I have the gba version of Spider-Man 3, it's okay *although mysterio's menace blows that game out of the water, and ultimate Spider-Man wasn't too shabby either 🙂❤ mysterio's menace all the way, a very good game that I say vicarious visions outdone themselves.*
phil saying sink or swim was actually hilarious
Missed u my boi
The gameboy versions of the underground games were so fun as a kid even tho I had the ps2 versions I loved taking these on the go
I also didn't know you could land big drops. My inner child is furious right now.
Awesome shirt Jak!
I am so glad i got a mint condition PSP and THUG2 remix on the cheap
Kind of makes me sad knowing the PSP version of underground 2 is the definitive way to play the game. Mainly because the console version never got the same treatment.
Yeah it's pretty tragic, but at least can be played on a TV with a dualshock 4 via an unlocked PSTV
Actually probably the PC version better graphics, and.....well, THUG PRO!!!
@@doogie2934 trust me if these people played the PC Version once they would never play Remix again
i played THUG 2 remix alot on the PSP emulator known as PPSSPP and yes it is also a major shame that it never got a tv system port oh well im looking forward to what i belive is the better Sk8te land story wise on DS
That would absolutely be the best way to play it, on emulator with a PS2 controller plugged in. Just a shame that all the cutscenes are broken as hell.
@@SquareEyedJak maybe thats why its a Directors cut either way i think the reason to buy remix is to have THUG 2 on the go dispite how unpolished the story mode is
Candy bahers!
I feel like I'm repeating myself with every comment I make here tbh. Excited for tomorrows episode!
Watching the footage of THUG 1 & 2 on GBA gave me uncomfortable flashbacks to being stuck somewhere I didn't want to be as a kid, wishing I was playing the console versions of those games instead. Remix was great though
Dayum, dude, you made me undust my PSP and go look for Remix on eBay. Though I guess it'd be easier to simply get my hacked Vita and game's image.
Even better, whack an emulator on your computer and use a controller.
Honestly, i wish the console was sorta like the DS version. The day night stuff, rpg stuff sounds super appealing to me tbh. Adds some realism and some replayability. The candy bar stuff and things like that should become more realistic when increased. On Sick, its twice. Easy or something should have it slow or completely off so you can practice.
Idk, Remix on gameboy looks pretty damn good.
Project 8 was trash on PSP, PS2, and Xbox, but the PS3 and Xbox 360 ports were amazing... so why isn't it on the PC like Underground?!
Every time you say, “have a great day”, I actually have a good day! :]
Welp i guess im not gonna be sleeping. Thanks mate
I no longer have a psp, but thug2 remix is hella fun, one of the best games for the system.
I actually don't mind the ds games though, they did enough random fun things like the design stuff, and I find the ds more comfortable for portable stuff :)
If you have an android phone or a jail broken iPhone you can play psp games through an emulator
This game is insane even today especially on a psp go or something, just a portable thug 2
Missed these reviews
12:10 So glad i blessed myself with a new headset so i could hear this in supreme quality!
My headphones are broken, it's that bad.
@@SquareEyedJak Jesus, rest in peace
Nice video
oww man ,nostalgia
I was woreied you wouldnt get mamy videos out since tony hawktober started so late but then i realized its an episode everyday it seems
Great!
here we go
Even though you ranted on the big drop those two episodes, you still had to deal with it for years until you figured it out
Gundamruss brought me here😊
Just going through some of your video's, some awesome stuff!

I think I mentioned this during last Hawktober, but I used to have a 2in1 combo GBA cart with THUG1 and Kelly Slater Pro Surfer. I never knew what the fuck I was doing in either game XD. Ah good times, might just have to emulate that now.
These were such fun little GBA games, owned the 2nd Underground for a while, and even though these aren't as good as the console versions, they are still well done demakes, and I can imagine back when it was new new, that it was a blast. Hey though, at least the PSP is Hella capable for a more complete experience, even though I wish some extras was still there...
