Your board is wearing thin, and your tired of being a nobody.
As your out skating, you see a flyer for a pro who's coming to your city to demo.
You go to the skate demo and watch.
Afterwards, you try to impress the pro, and he gives you advice on how to go about becoming a star.
With your friend, Eric, you're now on your way to becoming a legend.
THUG takes you to various cities to perform different goals.
You begin in New Jersey, which acts as a sort of training stage, where goals are simple.
Eventually, you'll visit Manhattan, Vancouver, Moscow, Tampa, San Diego and Hawaii.
Most cities are split into different chapters, with each chapter opening new goals.
THUG introduces a new system; walking.
You can get off your skateboard to run or walk around the level.
If there's a high tower you want to jump off of, get off your board, climb to the tower (by climbing a ladder or shuffling across a wire), get back on your board, and jump down.
One of the new tricks associated with this is the Acid Drop, which can launch you off an opposing pipe, allowing you to pull off 1080's and up.
Also new to THUG is the ability to drive certain vehicles, like a gardener's truck, a sports car, or a leaf blower.
These are used for goals, but can be unlocked to drive whenever and wherever.
Next to the standard Create-a-Park and Create-a-Skater, you can now create your own decks and your own tricks.
The biggest feature is Create-a-Goal.
You can create custom goals for one of the levels (or your own), and choose what pedestrian will give it to you, his/her dialogue, and what they'll say when you win.
The PlayStation 2 version supports online play.
About Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo's GameCube (2001) used a compact optical disc format and was the company's first console with online capability, though it never matched the PS2's commercial success. GameCube discs are comparatively durable, making complete-in-box collecting approachable, while a handful of Japan-only and limited-release titles (some tied to promotions) are the platform's genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Tony Hawk's Underground for Nintendo GameCube with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tony Hawk's Underground to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GCN release dates back to 2003.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Tony Hawk's Underground, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo GameCube titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
