Tony Hawk's Underground

Even those who’d rather drive over skate rats than be one can appreciate the ego stroke of having their own face in a game. PS2 owners can e-mail Activision a digital photo (keep it clean), which Activision will then slap onto the body of a rubber-limbed player. (Xbox owners: Sorry, there’s no system in place yet for your ugly mugs.) The gravity-defying moves that made previous Hawk games so rad is present, but now you get to drive cars, manage a career, and create custom tricks. For immersing entertainment, this game is totally up our halfpipe.
