The legend continues as Activision brings out it's newest installment in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Unlike it's predeccessor (don't think I spelled that right), the latest installment has a HUGE gap between #4 and #3. In this version, when you start career mode there is NO time clock what so ever! You are free to roam the level as much as you like, but when you stop and ask or talk to someone, they give you an objective to complete, THEN the time clock starts. The goals varies, sometimes it's to stop a security guard from busting all your skate buddies to copying another skater's tricks to the infamous S-K-A-T-E or C-O-M-B-O goal. And the level design is VERY realistic. no more is there a perfectly smooth sidewalk, now you can see that there are scratches, bumps and even scrapes and openings in the sidewalk. The levels also are very realistic as well. There won't be halfpipes and ramps all in the middle of the road. For example, in the College level, there are no (like I said) halfpipes or ramps or rails right smack in the middle of the street. The game is based on real life. And when you get all level goals for a level with a character, they bring in their own ramp or halfpipe or object to add to the level. And the cheats...well you have to find them out yourself. To sum this game up, a perfect ten, no flaws what so ever. If you want a good sports game this year for Christmas, this is it. Strap on your helmet and pads, it's gonna be a bumpy ride...

This game is the best. You can do anything now including Mini-games. In the college level, you can play tennis with your board or shoot some hoops. Interaction with other people is high and you can decide your level of difficulty in objectives. They also upgraded the create-a-player feature and the Park Editor.In the Park Editor you can set objectives,combos,and hidden tapes.

The only game better than this would be Tony Hawk 5

the best skating game ever made!!!

this has to be the best game this year. i played the demo on Kelly Slaters Pro Surfer, and this game is awesome. its so different from thps3. now you can skitch on cars, bust new tricks, and even talk to people. when you talk to certain people, they will give you an objective. you have a time limit, but it goes away when you finish the challenge. so career mode is like a free skate, but career mode all the same. there is also a pro challenge mode, where you start off as an amateur and as you do more things you become more popular. like i said before, this is going to be the best game ever.

Still going strong!

Okay, first of all, I have played and beaten every tony hawk game so far, (besides this one). So far I have loved the series and waited for the arrival of this game. When I put it in I got so pumped just watching the intro. This game has better graphics than the last, with a different concept. Instead of going into a level with a time limit and trying to do as many goals as possible, you skate around, finding people to talk to and getting goals. I would say that neversoft did this to make a different game. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is 20 times that of the previous games. The best Tony Hawk yet? Definately...

Tony Hawk`s 4th Hit.

I like Tony Hawk games, I`ve played all of them:1,2 and 3. But when I found Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, it was a must play game. This game is sweet, but it wouldn`t be the best. Definetly not the best. I enjoy 3 the most, and I`ll tell you why Tony Hawk 4 isn`t going to be as big as THPS3, my opinion.

Music: I enjoyed THPS 2 and 3`s music. But I checked out 4`s and it wasn`t too enjoyable. Hey, I can`t say it sucked, but it wasn`t bad. It was okay. I rate the music for THPS4 a 3 out of 5.

Tricks: I didn`t see that many new tricks here, cause I don`t really go for them. But you gotta try the moves, and see if they are any high scorers. I give the tricks a 4 out of 5.

Graphics: I like the graphics, but I don`t realize the difference between Tony Hawk 3. I give the graphics a 5 out of 5.

Locations: You only get one location when you start: Collage. It`s much better then the other Tony Hawk games, cause I discovered some sweet secret areas, like a Parking Lot, the top of a Collage Building, and a secret balocony. The other locations include San Fransisco and the Zoo. Gotta check out the locations. I give them a 5 out of 5.

Cheats: I couldn`t find any. But the secrets in the game are nice. You might be able to unlock characthers by doing that point thing, but remember how you could buy tricks and skateboard decks? Now you can buy Secret Characthers! I give the cheats a 3 and a half out of 5.

Gameplay: I love the gameplay. The tricks are great and was really I found amazing was the characthers. I walked up to a guy and pressed O. They gave me a quest to do. Like in Collage, when you talk to one guy, you have to drop a banner, and you can try to warn a guy about something. I give the gameplay a 5+ out of 5.

I give this game a 4 out of 5.

Tony Hawk Scores!

When I bought Tony Hawk 4, all I was expecting was more of the same exciting formula I had loved with 1, 2, & 3, which would have been fine. To my surprise, this sequel turns oiut to be as innovative as the original one was.

The new Hawk features a much greater quantity and variety in the way of level goals to keep things interesting. Plus, now there are different types of competitions included in every level instead of a couple of levels dedicated to competition. Best of all, this one has a fully fleshed-out online mode (as opposed to THPS3's prototypical one).

Hilarious characters and in-game gags are all over the place, and there is even the addition of the "skitching" move, pioneered by Michael J. "McFly" Fox in Back to the Future (latching on to a moving car). Top it all off with better graphics and level design, and THPS4 is a definite winner and a must-buy.

If you sk8 or u like the games buy this!

Too much to say in too little of a space. First of this is a much more realistic game, no more handrails that are as tall as you and no more halfpipes and ramps stuck in the middle of the street or in other pointless places. Although the graphics are not greatly improved the gameplay definately is. You dont have 6 foot ollies and you cant kickflip over cars. You can now hold on to the backs of cars and ride through traffic making transportation to another part of the level much faster. The characters are better developed and the levels are so much better and harder than ever before. Also in park editor you can add goals, hidden tapes and combos. There are also many new things to choose from. In the college level you can play tennis with your boars or even shoot some hoops. This is a must buy game and will end up being one of the top christmas presents. (if everyone hasn't already baught it yet). This is a great game that is much improved on the last one and is a must-buy for everyone.

HUGE LEVELS, SPINE TRANSFERS, SAME GAME

I've been a fan of the series since the psx version made it our way, but I must admit I kinda expected more on this release. I heard from many previews that the engine had been completely rebuilt and that we could expect massive levels, with flawless graphics. However upon the first day of play all I found was pretty much the same game as Tony Hawk 3. Not saying that's a bad thing, just more of the same. I think the spine transfers are cool, and I like the addition of skitching cars, but these weren't totally unique additions. I saw the same elements in Aggressive Inline, which I hate to say, is actually a better game overall. But don't let this deter you from the purchase. It's still a really good game, and worth the cash. Having the chance to explore the levels without a time limit almost makes this a must-have. . . Just don't expect something completely different. If you're waiting for something to really spend those last video game dimes on, go with Vice City. . .

as good as it gets

This game is off the charts, go get it right now. If you enjoyed the previous titles in this series even just slightly, then you will love Hawk 4, it is just that simple.

The levels are HUGE, will all types of stuff to skate...rails, ledges, cars, rooftops, ramps, construction equipment, etc. The graphics and smooth play have been stepped up even more. The career mode is cooler now b/c of the interaction and lack of a timer running on you all the time.

Alcatraz is one of the levels and it is OFF THE MEAT RACK. Anyway, the only beef I have not being able to tell where a level "ends", hence, you go off screen and lose the combo you were pulling. That is very frustrating; you should just be directed back towards the "level" instead of being penalized.
