This game is incredible. I go and replay it almost every 3 years. One of the most fun games I’ve played.

It’s probly the most fun i’ve had playing a game on this channel yet

[@alexyancy6018]

Same here! Since my childhood^^ Its a true masterpiece and filled with soo much nostalgia 😁💯💚

[@Tomniverse]

I remember on american wasteland, I set up the cheat code for infinte grinding, set up a massive combo that ended in a infinte circular grind before I went off to school one day, came back ready to reap my sweet sweet billion score trick, all I had to do was ollie out, and I fucking bailed lol also i love your greenscreen and do not think it is shitty

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Wow that sounds amazing hahaha i actually gotta try that now 😂 Thankyou man i really appreciate that ❤️🤝

Your channel is truly a hidden gold mine within KZbin! If you’re looking for video suggestions, Spider-Man 2 and Enter the Matrix are two of my childhood classics. Can’t wait to see what you put out next!

[@InhumanBaron]

Solid video homie. For me, I didn't really get INTO the series as a kid until THUG came along. Watching my brother play through the story made me realize "oh dang, skateboarding games can actually be pretty sick", so I'd always bug him to let me play or at least watch. As a kid you don't normally care about new mechanics or even plot, but Underground was a bit of a turning point for me in that regard. So for that, the game will have a tiny place in my Gamer™ heart.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou bro! THUG was my first game in the series as well so i know how you feel haha. It was one of those random christmas gifts that changed my little gaming life 🤝

THE ELBOW AT THE END! My buddy and I beat the game once and then upped the difficulty and beat it again expecting to have to race Eric at the end, and he just Lex Luger’s that bitch in the face instead. Incredible. 3 things: 1. THUG is the best skateboarding game with the absolute best soundtrack (and opens with fucking Jurassic 5 so you already know the games about to be GOAT 2. This new channel is lit af brother 3. Always pick Zero. Girl is a close second, but it’s Zero all day.

This video was very well made. 😂 Not one dull second. This game brings back loads of fun memories, my best friend and I spent a whole weekend 100%ing it and laughing our asses off. When we beat it the second time, and the MC just punched Eric in the face instead of "one more trip around the neighborhood," we woke up the whole house. Looking back though, it's where the series started to lose touch in my opinion. The vehicle driving bits were just gimmicky and distracting, and some of the levels were just kind of dull. Having to play as a custom character wasn't really my jam either. Thps4 is the series peak for me. Yet still, THUG is a classic and this video really brought me back to more innocent times.

[@DaBellMonkey]

This and Thug 2 have been the ONLY games I've ever played on the hardest difficulty and completed 100%

[@bliss5908]

3:00. Mans lived the same experience I did.

[@SomeoneWitSkill]

THUG did something no other game could do, it had insane replayability for me just from simple things like what team you choose or teammates you recruit. I feel like THUG was a perfect balance between hitting "realistic" moves and insane, no way thats happening in real life moves.
