Boston is a story mode level in THUG2. It is also the first level in the World Destruction Tour.
Origin[]
This level is based on the city of Boston, Massachusetts. Notable landmarks include:
- Massachusetts State House
- Boston City Hall
- Cheers Beacon Hill (presented as Jeers)
- Yawkey Ambulatory Care Center
- Boston Public Library Johnson Building
- The Cathedral Church of St Paul
- MBTA Commuter Rail
- Boston Duck Tours (Water Tour)
- Equestrian Statue of George Washington from Boston Public Garden
- Boston Custom House Tower (in the background)
- likely Fiduciary Trust Building (as Riboff bank)
Trivia[]
- A photo of Tony Hawk can be seen in place of mayor John Collins on the City Hall.
- If the player sets their board on fire and grinds the two cannons, a cutscene will play of the two cannons firing at the construction site directly in front of it, thus destroying the site.
- If the player turns right at the start, and right again, they will find two apartment buildings. In one is a geeky kid who dances (reference to the "Star Wars Kid" viral video from 2002). In the other one, the player will find a man dancing in front of a goat.
- If the player sticker slaps the ATM near the Riboff Bank, a whole load of money will pour out of the ATM.
- If the player sticker slaps the Port-a-Potty next to the Tea Party Boat, the Port-a-Potty will fall over exposing human excretions.
- Posters in the library: "Reading cures insomnia", "Don't read a book, go play video game"
- On the back side of the church building there is a banner that says "What's missing in CH__CH? UR", wordplay for "you are"
- Government center train station is closed by police.
- Spraying over the Jeers sign before exiting the level in story mode will result in unique dialogue during the ensuing cutscene; the narrator will replace "Jeers" with "THUG".
Early content[]
- According to screenshots the player would have been able to play as Tony Hawk during this period of the game; this was changed for unknown reasons.
- In the Beta version the Purple car from Hawaii was supposed to appear in traffic here but was removed for unknown reasons.
- The Graffiti tag on the billboard looked MUCH different in the beta version.
- The Blue B.B van from Australia originally spawned here but was cut for unknown reasons. (It was more than likely for continuity.)
