October 4^th, 2004 (12:00am) - Available in retail outlets worldwide beginning today is Activision Inc.’s Tony Hawk’s Underground 2, which catapults players into an all-out skating blitzkrieg led by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk and Bam Margera, the star of MTV’s "Jackass" and "Viva La Bam."

Conquering sick terrain, wreaking havoc and pulling off mischievous pranks on and off their boards, players are sent on a crazy adventure and challenged to make a variety of international cities their personal stomping grounds. THUG 2 is available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube for a suggested retail price of $49.99. The PC/CD-ROM version of THUG 2 is now available for a suggested retail price of $39.99 and the Game Boy Advance version of THUG 2 is now available for a suggested retail price of $29.99.

"Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 marks another evolutionary step forward for the franchise," said Kathy Vrabeck, president, Activision Publishing. "With Bam Margera bringing his signature humor to the story mode, new and expanded player controls and customization features, highly interactive levels, dozens of characters to skate as, and an in-depth classic mode, THUG 2 is the most complete Tony Hawk videogame to-date."
