A Really Great Game

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is a really fun game. It's for people who enjoy skating games. I got this game on December 27th, and since then it's been a really fun game. You get to do lots of tricks including Kickflip, Heelflip, Hardflip, Nose Grab, Insane Transfers, and many more.

You get to play as all your favorite pro skaters. Plus you get to create your own character as well. During career mode when you do tasks for other skaters and people, you get to up your stats like air, hangtime, switch, rail balance, lip balance, manual balance, and others to make your character better.

They have levels that are really fun, and the first level College, is a really fun level that you have to play before any other level. The level College grabs your interest as you play. The next four levels are San Francisco, Alcatraz, Kona, and The Shipyard. During the levels you do tasks for the other skaters and people around. Some of the tasks are funny like in College you have to clock 5 jocks in one combo, and in Alcatraz you have to take the tour in one minute and the guy talks really fast.

The beginning tasks are easy but as you go on they get pretty hard. Some tasks you go on the vert ramp and do the tricks that people call out and you have 2 minutes to do them. Others make you collect C-O-M-B-O letters while staying in a combo and some make you collect S-K-A-T-E letters all around the level. Some Make you get your special meter up and do tricks like a 360 varial mctwist, darkslide a rail, misty flip a spine transfer, and semiflip over a bulldoser.

I hope this review gives you enough information to get this game, because it's really fun and when you start playing you can't stop.

Tony hawk iz a kool and exiting game. It has one of the best 2 player mode i've ever seen, cause there is so many thingz u can do.But the Creer mode is very challenging, u have to be a pro just to get past the 1rst level at the college. But whaen u get 2 the next level it's worth the wait. Also u can create ur own park, buy boards , grip tape wheels ,secret skaters,and even parks.U can also can also go to parks that are alredy made and they are TIGHT!!!!

Well that's it i reccomend this game if u have 2 share ur system wit a brother. Because 2player mode is awesome. or just play by yourself.

Good, but not the best of the series

I'm one of those rare people who get every action-trick sports games, granted some I wait on, and others I will get day of release, and well I waited on THPS4 and glad I did.

First off the game went under major reconstructive surgery for this incarnation, pretty much throwing away the 2:00 clock. I have serious problems with that, it's what made THPS, trying to do the goals within the time frame. Also out is the tape system, and again I'm seriously upset, just like I was for the arrival of THPS2.

The gameplay is THPS without a question. Its a little dulled down from the sharpness of THPS3, but gives a little more realism to the game, but if I wanted that, I'd go out and pick up the deck and go skating. Many of the challenges are excrutiatingly tedious. Actually about 90% of them are tedious, I like the races, and the traditional collect SKATE of find 5 whatevers in 2 minutes, but then the competitions don't have the skate park feel to them. The levels are big, but fairly unimaginative (Chicago from Mat Hoffman 2....I won't say more)

If you're looking for a THPS game, I would go 3 and maybe even 2x before 4, but if you're looking for new levels and don't have 4, pick it up now that it is at a platnium price, and be glad you didn't spend twice as much on it.

Each Tony Hawk game keeps just getting better and better...

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is the best in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series so far.The games just keep getting better and better!This game is very addictive and full of depth.The career mode is much different and improved from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3,with much more stuff to do.There is no more time limit.You have to talk to pedestrians throughout the level and they give you a goal to do.The goals get more and more challenging throughout the whole game.This is also by far the most challenging game in the series yet!The graphics are pretty good too(athough nothing shocking).The levels are very large and theres a great soundtrack featuring artists like the Offspring,N.W.A,The Cult,Gang Starr,and over 30 other aritsts.Theres also a custom soundtrack option too so you can use your own soundtrack.This game controls perfectly too with the Controller S.There are no exclusive Xbox features though,except for the obvious things like improved graphics and custom soundtracks.Plus,theres not even Xbox Live online play!But what is here is very fun and addictive and will keep you entertained for a long time.

Keeps getting better

Just when you thought that they couldn't possibly make a new Tony Hawk that provided original gameplay, Activision came out with this awesome game. The best addition to this installment has to be the way that they revamped how you achieve objectives. In previous versions, you had to keep retrying the level, suffering through annoying load times just so you can retry the objectives. Now, there is no timelimit on the levels, and you activate objectives by talking to people on the board. Fail the objective? No problem. Hit start and select "retry objective" from the menu.

Other than that, the graphics have improved, yet again, and the replay value is even higher than it was before. Can life get better? I thought it couldn't, but Activision proved me wrong!

Should be 6 stars

This is the best Tony Hawk's from all of them. This one you can go around and pick the goals you WANT to do not the goals you HAVE to do (unless you do like very many of them you would have to try\do them to go on) after you complete about 90 or so of the 120 some that is avilable then you get to do specfic goals for ALL the players (excpet for the players you have to buy) including the created skaters.

In my word this is the BEST Tony Hawk's Pro Skater that Neversoft has made, so if you like Sk8boarding games then THPS4 if for you

Great, challenging fun

Skateboarding is a fun sport - and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 lets anyone master the cool moves and spins from the comfort of your couch.

Let's start with the huge amount of customization available. You create your character, male or female, giving him a name, home town, age. You then can choose his hair style and color, shirt, pants, shoes, hat, logos, tattoos on ALL parts of the body.

For each item (say a shirt) there is a HUGE range of styles, colors and logos available. You can even tweak the various body parts to make them bigger or smaller! I was extremely impressed with how well you could really customize your player.

Next, there's a full skateboard park creator. You can build your fantasy park with ramps, benches, stairs and much more in it. Then you can have fun cutting loose! There are many sample parks included to play on or to draw inspiration from.

Now, on to the game. There's a Career mode that lets you move through a series of levels, accomplishing tasks on each one. You start out on the college level, zooming around, avoiding the cars on the streets or grabbing on to them for a ride. There are people hanging out around the college to talk to. One wants you to rip down signs promoting the local cop. Another wants you to search for letters. A third wants you to harass the frat boys that are causing trouble. There are a bunch of different missions, each one different, each one helping you to learn a different aspect of gameplay.

You can play single missions to, or against friends if you wish. It can be a bit tricky at first to get the hang of skateboarding, just like in real life. You tend to land sideways and go SPLAT on the pavement, little blood drops flying (you can turn off gore if you wish). But soon you get the hang of it and are doing cool tricks off the railings and walls you come across.

The levels are well laid out and very interesting, with fun scenery to interact with. The various challenges test different parts of your skills and help you learn new ones as you go. The soundtrack is great, with a wide selection of bands. You can turn on and off different songs if some don't appeal to you.

Highly recommended for sports fans!

First off, this game is very addicting, I have trouble putting the controller down sometimes. You just want to keep trying to bust out the tricks. I had never played the previous Tony Hawk games so this was the first I played and the one I learned to play on. The game will not be easy if you haven't played any Tony Hawk's before, but enough time you will learn moves and start to get pretty good at the game in a short time. Just don't give up is what you have to say, grinding, jumps and landing combos will be hard. But once you finally get the hang of it, like I said, you won't want to stop playing. Has a good multiplayer mode too, everything about this game is great.
