| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
When you get to Shred Eric's best line, save the game before you defeat him. Then, create a new skater and set it to any difficulty except for "Too Easy". Defeat Eric and you will unlock one or two skaters depending on the difficulty setting. When you want to change, just restart the game and do it again under a different difficulty setting.
Hawaii: SecretsGo to the hotel that you start at. Drain the pool then go to the vending machine next to the security guard near the two pools (one of which you have drained.) Go through that door and up to the roof. You can now Acid Drop into the pool by ollieing and pressing R2 just off the jump. If you want to practice for when you make your own skate team, go to where the half-bowl on the roof is located and jump off the kickers there. Press R2 immediately to do an Acid Drop. You should get Ludicrous Hotel Gap 1 of 4. Keep going straight and go off of the quarterpipe directly in front of you. When you get close to the top, press R2 and you will get Hotel Gap 2 of 4. Then, Spine Transfer down the other side of the bowl and get Hotel Gap 3 of 4 and Spine Transfer over the two quarterpipes that are back to back to get Hotel Gap 4 of 4.
Get the Kiss Band to play your favorite songFirst Get the K-I-S-S letter in the Hotter than Hell level. After the band starts playing their song, Pause the game, Go to Options, Go to Sound Options, Then Playlist. Now highlight a song then press Circle. Unpause the game and viola! Kiss is now playing your favorite song in THUG.
Hotter Than Hell: 10,000 point gapFind the Go-Kart. Drive the Go-Kart around until you find a huge ramp that goes over the center of the level. Drive off it as fast as possible and you will clear a gap that gives you 10,000 points.
Manhattan: Secret tapeWhen you start, go down the street to the left of the worker with the jackhammer . At the end of the street is a lit up billboard with a ladder. Climb the ladder, then jump and grab the ledge. The tape is there for the taking.
Manhattan: Increasing stats in story modeEnable the "Moon gravity" cheat in Manhattan in story mode. Jump onto the bridge that is above the waterfront. Go to the end of bridge that is opposite from the side with a quarterpipe. You should see a tunnel. Get off your board (L1 + R1) and jump into the building on the left side of the tunnel. When you hit the wall, hold Analog-stick Up + A until you reach the top of the building. Get back on your board (L1 + R1) and go right. Jump off the side of the building. Do tricks to build up you stats. If you jumped off the building far enough, you should bounce back up on top of the building.
Alternate tricks using pressureWhen you press L1, you will switch into pressure, or switch pressure (depending on if you are skating switch or regular). Once in this stance, when you jump a trick will pop up called "Pressure", and when you do a flip trick that is just Up, Down, Left, or Right, you will do a different trick from the usual pop shove-it, kickflip, heelflip, and impossible. You will be able to do toe flips (Left), 180 flips (Right), and FS and BS 360 flips (Up and Down).
Jump higherWhile off your skateboard (walking), when you jump the first time (press X), you can also jump a second time while still in the air (if you keep tapping X). This is very helpful for out of reach places. Note: You can only jump twice.
Hold on trickEnable the "Moon gravity" cheat and go to create-a-trick. For your first line, put in Front (or Back) flip. Then, switch it to 180 degrees. This will make your skater flip halfway. Set the duration between .4 and .7 seconds. On the next line, put an Other>Handstand. Have him hold it. This will make your skater flip halfway, get off his board, then hold on for dear life. This looks good if you get enough air.
Extra speedIf you come to a complete stop in a manual combo and need to get more speed to get somewhere, do the spacewalk. At a slow speed or at a complete stop, the spacewalk (Left, Right, Square) will propel you forward.
Extra speedIf you come to a complete stop in a manual combo and need to get more speed to get somewhere, do the spacewalk. At a slow speed or at a complete stop, the spacewalk (Left, Right, Square) will propel you forward.
Fun crashesGo to any quarterpipe with a rail/ledge above it (for example, at Headstone Harry's in New Jersey). Go up the quarterpipe. As you are on it, turn at an angle as if you are going to hip transfer. Hold a direction and Triangle + Circle (for example, Down + Triangle + Circle and your skater will try to do a tailgrab then a 5-0 grind), making your character crash. You can make your skater fly and land on his head. He will then get back up (note the realism). At Headstone Harry's, see if you can get your skater to go through the playground fence.
Easy competition winsEnable the "Perfect rail balance" cheat, then go on a quarter pipe and do a lip trick. If done correctlym your skater should stay in place until you press X. Note: For first place, hold Trick until the point counter reads over 120,000 (about three minutes).
Boardslides and LipslidesBy holding R1 or L1 to 90 degrees while ollieing onto a rail, you can do a board/lip slide. To differentiate between the two, a lipslide is when your back wheels go over the object before you start the grind. In other words, if you are on the left side of the rail and want to do a FS lipslide, hold L1 to 90 degrees then grind (your back wheels will go over the rail/barricade then you will grind). If you want to do a FS boardslide, hold R1 to 90 degrees then grind (your front wheels will go over the rail/barricade then you will grind). On the right side, switch the L1 and R1 around and you will do BS slides.
Switch tricksRiding switch is the opposite of what your rider is used to. If you have a regular stance rider, then switch would be the goofy stance for them, and vice versa. When you do switch tricks, you get more points than what you would normally get for doing it in regular/goofy form. For example, doing a Kickflip (regular) results in 100 points, but a Switch Kickflip gets 120 points. It makes a larger difference on bigger tricks such as specials.
Skip last goalPlay the game to the point where your character must McTwist over the roof gap. Complete the goal in one attempt without failing or restarting the goal. If done correctly, after the part where you film your skate team video your character will knock Eric out and steal the tape, thus completing the game without having to do the last goal.
Tampa: Full backflipEnable the "Moon gravity" code. Go to the place where the car that shakes is found. Face the sausage melt place. Skitch a car from there, past the parking garage. When you turn around the corner past the parking garage, count to three slowly. jump off, and Boneless the little yellow slope in the middle of the road. When you do this, press Down and your skater will slowly do a backflip to the place next to the wet beavers. When he almost lands, press R2. He should land. Note: You will not get points for this.
Always Win CompetitionsTo always win competitions on the analog stick quickly press down, up. This will start a manual. Next, you press any combination of square, circle, or triangle.(DON'T PRESS X) Keep pressing combinations of 2 until your balance gets out of control. Then press X. Repeat this process until time runs out.
WARNING:this may take a couple of trys.
Here's how to create The Hulk in create-a-skater:
I can't remember what I used for the face, but find one that looks slightly angry to add realism.
Obviously make his skin medium green as after all, he is the Hulk!
Give him the "medium 1" hairstyle. Make it black but not totally black.
Give him the "shirtless" option for his torso.
Give him denim shorts and make him bare footed (no shoes or socks).
To really give him that Hulky look, in scale options make everything as big as possible except for the nose. Now you should be able to skate as the Hulk!
This is how to make Eminem in create-a-skater:
For his face, give him "light skin 1"
For the hair, give him "buzzed" but if you want to, you can also give him the "do-rag" hat
For the shirt, give him the "basketball jersey"
For pants, give him "baggy cargo"
For the shoes, give him the "Rowley Vans XL12" shoes
It doesn't necessarily matter about the socks because you won't be able to see them unless you change the pants to shorts. If you want, you can make a few alterations if you think work needs to be done.
I've found three Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 levels wraveled into THUG. Plus, a little hidden place:
1) Go to New Jersey. Go to the train station. Stand on top of the train station lip. Look to the left. You will see a flashing icon. Go out and get onto the ledge that its on. This will unlock the Old Skool level. To enter it, go to Change Levels and select Old Skool.
2) Go to Hawai. Go to the shop called the Tiki Shop which has a wooden Tiki outside. Jump into its mouth. You will go down a long tunnel. When you come out, make sure you hit the THPS2 symbol. Then go into the change levels thing and select Venice.
3) Go to Moscow. Hop onto the building which the Christmas tree lights are attached to. Grind along on the side away from the tanks and into the big window. Go up the stairs and get it. Then select Hangar.
4) This is just a secret skatepark. Go to Hawai. Go to the place where the car is. Face the opposite way that it is pointing. Do a Spine Transfer over the ramp. Voila!
Hope you enjoyed this.
In the hotter than hell level you should see the letters spelling kiss around the park if u collect them u get 2 see a trailer from "god of thunder" one of their songs but if u collect them again music will start and if u go up 2 the stage u can see the crazy rocksatrs blaring out some tunes.
