this is the most retarded game ever. Neversoft put no thought at all into this game. When i first played it i thought it would be a very good game, I WAS WRONG. Do not buy this game it is a total waste of money.
wow i cant believe we have made it this far, but who cares!

I would have Amazon consider changing the features....because they are wrong. You cannot "skitch on the back of a car", THERE ARE NO CARS! you can't "skate through traffic", THERE IS NO TRAFFIC! You can't play multi-player online, because this is the PS1. I want a refund for this horrible and pitiful game, ... dollars spent is... dollars wasted on this game
Not the best Tony Hawk, but it's getting there...

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 for the PS1 is a very well designed game. You can now, on the new Go Pro feature, choose which goals you want to complete. No more long checklists of goals you have to complete in 2:00. You can now take all the time you want to explore a level before doing a goal. This is one of the good qualities of the PS1 version, but, for every good quality, there is dissapointingly a bad quality.
One very bad quality is that all the levels are now designed in some kind of 70's/80's era where there are no bold lines. This have never looked this way on Tony Hawk games. The first level, College, is designed to look more real and like the PS2 version, well, the fact of the matter is, it can never look anything like the PS2 version because it is PS1. The makers of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater have stupidly tried to expand PS1 graphics furthur than they can go. On the Alkatraz level, when you are going into a different area, you have to skate through a black pit that mysteriously takes you to the other side of where you are going, this does not look real. Another awful problem Tony Hawk 4 is having is one that all of the Tony Hawks have had, when you go to 2-player mode the levels get smaller. Even though this has always been a problem, it has never been this bad. I must admit that when i went to 2-player mode i thought my PS1 had defaulted, there is nowhere to skate. The sky disappears mysteriously and all the secret skate spots are gone. Another question i have been wondering is why does it say on this products description that you can 'Skich on the back of a car', let me ask this website one question: HOW DO YOU 'SKICH ON THE BACK OF A CAR' WHEN THERE ARE NO CARS! HOW DO YOU SKATE THROUGH TRAFFIC WHEN THERE IS NO TRAFFIC! These are bad marketing problems, if you didn't know better, you'd buy this game thinking you could do those things when you can't. And what the heck happened to the PRE-MADE SKATEPARKS. They are the same ones that were in Tony Hawk 2.
I think that the Tony Hawk games have gone in a tragic decline since THPS2. Sony needs to understand that they should not keep bringing these games out for PS1. The majority of gamers have a PS2, X Box, or GameCube already so what is the point? I have listed how i think the Tony Hawk games for PS1 rank in order of how GOOD they are:
1. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - The original and my favorite of the PS1 Tony Hawk games.
2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - Designed wonderfully, great level layout, tons of new features, awesome!
3. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 - New features, new design, not that many new options.
4. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - Poor design, no new options or features, no new design, awful gameplay, not a good Tony Hawk.
this game rocks!!

I don't care what anyone says about this game! not even GuyWhoPlaysVideoGames could talk me out of getting this terrific game! (he's somewhere in the other reviews) I think it's great that those video game companys are putting xbox,gamecube, and PS2 games on playstation, it helps our parents who don't have much money get us what we want, even though most of us don't have all those new consoles, because they are WAY too expensive! we can still have some new games without having to spend so much money on so many little things like memory cards that in 3 years will be 5 bucks each!! so I want to thank all those companys and sony for helping give us not-so-rich-kids a little taste of the newest games on the market.
THE BEST TONY HAWK GAME TO DATE/

This is a good game for the average gamer or anyone who is nuts on skate boarding.This game has good gameplay much like the earlier Tony Hawk 2.The levels are the same size maybe smaller.The better thing about Tony Hawk 4 is that you can choose what task you would like to do.I have played this game a few times and am still yet to see a car or traffic.So i would buy this game if I was you but you will not be blowen away.
DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY!
