It's true that this game can't last very long after you beat it in the first two weeks; however, it's fun to come back to once in awhile. This game is different than the first three Tony Hawk games. You start off in the level free-skating and can approach people who will give you goals to accomplish. There are about sixteen goals per level and around ten or thirteen levels. I would recommend this game to anyone, even those who don't like skating, like myself. I would advise you to buy this game used for an incredible price. I personally would not pay more than fifteen dollars for it, yet it will definitely provide you and your friends with some entertainment.

Just a little too much for me and my son

I'm an old guy; my son is 6. Together, we had so much fun learning and mastering Pro Skater 3 that we couldn't wait to try Pro Skater 4. Unfortunately, as advanced as the game is in terms of graphics and intensity, it's just too much for my son and I to enjoy together. I've tried and tried, using the strategy guide as my source book, but the game is just too difficult to master or enjoy. The game interface is so far beyond what a simple guy like me and my young son can do together. Teenagers may love it, but it's just too much right now.

Just awful.

This game was quite the disappointment.

The same problems that plagued the earlier Tony Hawk games were still there, but the developers seem to have forgotten the limitations of their medium - making everything needlessly more difficult at times simply for some shadow of authenticity to the game.

The first time I opened up the game, I played it for about five minutes before Alt-F4ing out of it in disgust. The jokes are absolutely terrible and juvenile, to the point where it's just annoying - perhaps this is appropriate for a 10 year old, but the humor lacks the subtlety it had in the earlier games. This was the first problem. The objectives that you have to complete have become much more frustrating over the point of the last few games - one comes to mind where you have to skate through a coliseum and knock down five "jocks" in one combo, and another where a stereotypical Frenchman obnoxiously declares, "you stupid skater-person ha-ha-ha-ha" repeatedly until you beat him in an incredibly nonintuitive tennis game. After this, a bum instructs you to kill a series of imaginary pink elephants. Now, I realize Tony Hawk himself is probably nearing 50 years old now, but this is no excuse for such stupid objectives. I've been skating since I was in fifth grade, and it seems like these games are distancing themselves further and further from the reality of skating and its associated culture. It was extremely hard to get into repeatedly knocking down a bunch of football players running in circles, and my disgust at the task got worse each time.

If you're going to keep iterating versions of what's basically the same game, Neversoft, you need to work on actually improving the game instead of adding a whole bunch of irrelevant crap. For your own sake, whoever's reading this review, don't buy this game, it's terrible.
