I sort of hate that Superman being the primary song of Tony Hawk games because there are dozens of other great songs in the series yet people mainly remember Superman for some reason.

Also lol at thinking THUG2 is bad, people literally only thought this because they hated the Jackass era, and the Jackass hating fad is long since over.

Plenty to dislike aside from the Jackass stuff. It's still a good game at the core, but THUG2 is bloated to the brim with unnecessary crap that got in the way of the campaign, and that's just speaking from a gameplay standpoint. The halfassed nonskateboard characters, the sticker slap conflicting with the wallpush, tossing stuff, dumb new "tricks" that were closer to fart jokes, and unfocused map designs.

It was the jumped shark. It was good because the core of THPS is good, but it was dressed up like a clown.

From personal preference, having gone back after several years, I find THPS2 to be the most solid experience. The manuals, transitions, and later walking all make for very bloated singular combo goals. Sure, at the time it was insane, it was great, but it got tiresome. It's like MVC3 infinites compared to just, you know, a nice, satisfying 7 hit combo in SF2.
