Yep. Its the best one..., 31 December 2002
Author: SNL_FAN from Southern California

I enjoy the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games very much, and this one is by far the best one. The graphics are better and the gameplay is changed a little, but its the best. The feature of having no time limits is great and the locations are really good. The Create a Skater and create a park is also really good features that add to this great game. I'd say if you are a fan of the other ones, this is one game to buy, or at least rent.

Thanks for reading..

All the versions are good except for PS1 and GBA, 4 January 2004
Author: bowser724 from MN

All the versions are good except for PS1 and GBA. I know I wrote in my last review that the PS1 version is great, but now I have a GameCube and it makes the PS1 version and the GBA versions look like Pong. Seriously folks, if you want this game, get it for GameCube, PS2, or Xbox. Don't bother with the other two. They aren't worth the time or money.\ For one thing, they had to rate the PS1 version "E" for some reason, which means ruining the song lyrics, only male custom skaters, and no Daisy! WHAT???

GameCube/PS2/Xbox: Graphics: 5 Playability: 5 Time Worthiness: 4.5

GBA/PS1: Graphics: 2 Playability: 2 Time worthiness: 1

whoa this is cool!, 23 February 2003
Author: bowser724 from MN

I just received Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 for Christmas and it rocks! Soundtrack is the best of the series, because it has AC/DC and other songs that aren't limited to the nineties and 2000's. Lots of hangtime gaps, vast parks, great graphics, and above all, playability. This game has the most skateboarding tricks you can do than any in the series. It has mostly the same tricks as THPS3 but it adds a few. The best part is that all of the parks actually exist in real life. Like Kona, for example. That's been there for decades. It is cloned perfectly from the bright red pool to the many rails. Nice job, Activision and Neversoft; another masterpiece shines, right along with the rest of the series and the Spider-Man games. My favorite feature is create skater. I know it's been in the games since THPS2 but it adds more clothes and decks. In the PS2 version you can also make a female skater.

Fun: 4.5/5 Graphics: 5/5 Playability: 5/5

Buy it if you have a GBA, PS1, PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox.

Is Good But Lack Of Difference From Pro Skater 3 Hurts It, 1 May 2008
7/10
Author: TheGame2k2 from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Neversoft, Vicarious Visions (PS1 and GBA) and Activision bring us Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, which is the follow up to the highly successful Pro Skater 3.

If there is one thing that hurts this game it is the little difference it makes in gameplay when compared to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3.

One thing that i do like is that there is no time limit until you go into a mission, that was good addition and would be used for the rest of the series. However, graphically, its the same game. The levels are kind of a let down, there a little on the short side.

The game looks great on all systems, the Xbox looking a little smoother then the rest and having a better frame-rate then the PS2 version. However, the Xbox version does not support Xbox live, which is sad, however the PS2 does.

Neversoft, like Pro Skater 3 did not do the PS1 or GBA versions. That job was given to Vicarious Visions. The PS1 version is surprisingly good. Graphically it is on par with Tony Hawk's 1, 2, and 3. The levels look very good for the PS1. The only downside the PS1 version, which was also the downside to Pro Skater 3 for the PS1 was that the gameplay was no different then Tony Hawk's 1 and 2, it obviously couldn't do what the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube did with the gameplay. So all levels are still on 2 minute time limits. But overall it is still a good version. The GBA version is not really as good as Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was for GBA. The graphics look really toned down and the gameplay is just not as fun.

Overall, a game that is good on its own but with little improvements and lack of anything new, it really doesn't stand out in any way.

Frustrating, 31 May 2007
5/10
Author: Patrick Henry from United States

Really only fun if you don't do most of the goals. The game is messed up in that it does things you don't tell it to do, doesn't do things you clearly tell it to do, or randomly has you fail a mission at the end for the sole purpose of making you do it for another four hours to get it right. A huge disappointment. If I were you, I would simply do the bare minimum to be able to play the game well, on your own, without having to stick to the pointless and nearly impossible missions they give you. Even the first three titles from Tony Hawk were better than this sorry excuse for a video game. If you do buy this game, try to buy it for the lowest possible, or get it for free because it isn't really worth that much.

It Is Definitely Different Than the Predecessors, and Takes Time to Get Used To..., 7 January 2003
Author: MovieAddict2009 from UK

"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4" scared me at first. The gameplay was completely different, and at first I didn't like that. But after a while, I realized the game is much more challenging than its predecessors, and has excellently detailed, fully immersible, larger levels, as well as many more options and improved graphics and physics.

I'm not sure if it is, overall, my favorite Pro Skater game. I don't think I've had quite as much fun, per say, as I did playing the other three.

I personally think they should end the franchise now. They are ahead, and should stay that way while they can.

The real-life Hawk's popularity is practically over. He isn't what kids are talking about anymore. Just like yo-yos and Pokemon, every franchise has to eventually end, and I think Hawk should retire professionally and end his video game ring. He should stop while he's ahead.

Other than that, die hard fans of the original Tony Hawk video games might be disappointed in this new game. I myself enjoy some of the aspects, but find myself also missing other aspects of the game.

Close to the best, but not quite there.

4.5/5 stars --

John Ulmer
