Good but going too Unrealistic |
| Gremline from New deal says (24/Mar/2003): |
This is an excellent game but it is getting to unrealistic. I mean, come on, who is going to do a Might as Well Jump. Seriously I would take Thrasher or Grind Session over this series any day. I like realism. Keep it real. Not FAKE. Take Thrasher for example. Every trick in there is possible and the speed is just about right. No one is going to land a ten set 20 foot stretch then another ten set in one ollie. Get back to normal.

Some annoying goals, great gameplay, and overall, worth the cash!!! |
| Tommy from Charlotte, USA says (19/Mar/2003): |
One big problem is that I can't totally beat the game since I can't do one skaters pro challenge. The one in Alcatraz that asked you to invert on the cell block roof. My guy, full on stats, just can't make it that high. Whats up with that?Anyway, the game is fun but has some very annoying goals. Manueling down three switchbacks in Alcatraz. COMBO after COMBO after COMBO. Overall, a very well done game. If they didn't have the combo's and other such stuff it would be boring. However, I'd like to see more active levels, and I like tons of hidden stuff aka THPS3 that you get when you beat it not by typing in cheats. You can pull some fat tricks, which is cool. And for the most part, good job on the levels.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 is the best game in history. |
| A gamer from South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States of America says (17/Feb/2003): |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is the game of all games. It is packed with good songs, great graphics, and awesome levels. My favorite skaters are in the game and it also has an awesome little clown that you get when you do a certain amount of goals. The special moves for some people are great too. Karrem Cambell has the kickflip bacflip which is one of the pro specific goals in San Francisco.

Good...but not the best |
| chris from baltimore, MD says (14/Feb/2003): |
ok, i have a few things to say, number 1, to everyone who said that the music sucks, you have no musical taste..the music was chosen because they are skateboard related bands...but anyway onto the review, i thought that this game was alright, it is just like tony hawk 3 with a few extras, oh wow, you can skate around without a time limit?! gee, big whoop, when it comes right down to it, when you go to do a goal there is a time limit, some of them even have less time too, and i mean, collecting combo can get really old, really fast...same with skate, and all the other things they added in about 2 times in each level..also the sound is ok, most of the things about this game were ok, nothin too great. the only thing that i liked alot about this game were the movies, koston yet again shows why he is one of the best, along with all the others

This Game Rules |
| A gamer from Davisburg ,Michigan,USA says (13/Feb/2003): |
There's few things I dont like Such as,1/2 The music Is horrable, And the other half You Play so much IT gets Extremly BORING!!!! I really Dig System Of a down, Im So Glad they used that band. The OTHER Thing Is They only have 1 skate park. I like The rounds But Too Many city rounds.Create a Skate Park Is Really Useless. By the way I Despise The COMBO letter Missions. Overall, The game Has great Missions, 1/2 The music Bites, No variaties On Levels, But Definatly Worth The money.
|
where is the cool replays ? |
| Lucas from Gothenburg Sweden says (6/Feb/2003): |
First I just want to say that it's an awsome game, the music could've been better but it's a matter of taste I guess. The instant replay is a good thing but it would be better if you could rewind it yourself and show it in different angles which you could on thps 3 that's the only thing I really miss in this game otherwise the tphs 4 rules

Agreement |
| Joshua W. from Memphis, Tennessee USA says (24/Jan/2003): |
I agree w/ Quentin Myers fully. I skate for REAL. It's for fun. I'm not saying the game isn't fun but why do that when you can grab your REAL freakin' skateboard and go outside for REAL and ride your REAL skateboard for REAL! I'm serious! Real skateboarding is a hell lot funner that staring at a TV mashing buttons all day long. All in all though the game is ok, repetitive, but, ok.
|
Time to move on |
| Guerrier from Greensboro, NC says (23/Jan/2003): |
Tony, if you read this that would rock. First we are unable to custumize the tricks and delete them. second how about another group of proskaters, like collin, fraizer ect... How about some real music metalica,slayer megadeth shine all that hiphop. The last two games are very street oriented. We love you because of vert not your street skating. Maybe ps5 will be all about old school old school parks and decks punk rock and skaters like. Duane peters, Tony Alva , shogo kubo, Eric Grisham and the like. Some one get tony to read this.

the best of the best skate series |
| Jordon Michaels from Carlisle, USA says (22/Jan/2003): |
I think this is the best game in the tony hawk series. the life span is the game is very long since i got it the day it came out and i still can't put it down. The thing i like about the music is if there are any songs you don't like you can just turn the song off and never have to listen to it agian. the graphics are the best in the series. funfactor is atleast a 10 if not higher. I love the way you can choose to do a challenge in proquest or just skate around. The proquest is somewhat original but since other game have the same style i can't say it's tottaly original. it is probably the best value game in the entire series. the one thing i did run into trouble with is when I finnished the entire game and tride to save it the game froze and now I need to start all over again. :< but oh well!

I've Beaten This Game Twice Now, Its Boring! |
| A gamer from Aylmer says (22/Jan/2003): |
Everything is good, like the graphics but i beat this game in a week when i first got it, number three took me like a month, you huys really tried hard for this game, but the goals have beenm the same over the past 3 games, i suggest that you get another idea than goals for these kinda games. Anyone whom plays this game knows what i mean!!Theres lots more but i'm not standing here writing this i'm going snow boarding instead!!
|
AWESOME but BUT NOT THE BEST! |
| A gamer says (19/Jan/2003): |
I gave THPS4 an 8 out of 10.I thought it was pretty good.It's fun playing the mini games and accomplishing a lot of unique and fun goals in career mode.Plus more characters,good levels,so much money to spend and so much to buy.That is what i wanted to see in Tony Hawk 4 but it did lack some and i thought some of it was annoying. I think that it was a bad idea to put the COMBO goal in the game because it was really annoying.Especially when you have to do it in EVERY level!It was VERY ANNOYING and it gave me a headache!Some of the goals are stupid and unrealistic as well.But the worst part of the game was the music!!The music in THPS4 was terrible!I only liked one song in the whole game.Another thing was that the characters were basically the same as THPS3.As I said...its good but not the best.

Well.. |
| Ty Beaudoin from Halifax, Canada says (14/Jan/2003): |
First off, i think the game is great, but i wanted to shoot myself due to the repetitive collect skate and combo garbage. And to people who are saying they're real skaters and that the game should be more realistic, i think you're wrong. You can still have a great time and do realistic things, turn down the stats and don't hold x down. I feel the same way you do about it producing ignornat skaters that you call posers, but at least it's progressing the hobby(i don't consider it a sport). Skateboarding is more popular now then i ever remember it being, when i started it was just me and my friend hitting whatever was around, but now, skateparks are spreading like wildfire and if you know the right people and live in the right place, you can skate wherever you want, because of things like this, it's helping people get a focus that skateboarding isn't such a terrible thing and it can be fun. So just try and have some fun and if you want realism, go outside.

this game is f$ckin awsome |
| david from earth says (13/Jan/2003): |
The best tony hawk yet. great graphics and tricks. I like the new levels and new multiplayer modes. Especially the new skitching trick you can do. One of my favorite tricks is the flp kick dad a grind.

Greatest of the great thps4 series |
| Alex from Sept-Iles, Québec says (13/Jan/2003): |
A lot of things changes, for those who passes thps3 in 5 hours and think they'll do in this one.. forget it! Harder than the previous one! A lot of modofications brought to the game... LAnd on flat from a vert using R2. Get faster by skitching car. play tennis, baseball. You get goal byb meeting people all over the level.. different goal were added. You can even continue your combo after a vert using R2.. Half of the 190 goal took me at least 30 minutes to achieve..! 10/10

Tony Hawk`s Pro Skater 4 |
| Bruce from Canada says (12/Jan/2003): |
I really enjoy the gameplay of tony hawk 4, but its very unrealistic! rodney mullen (the skater that created the ollie, the kickflip, and the shove, and the concave on a board) cant do a kick flip to pogo to casper to melon to manual in real life can he? If i wasnt a sk8r, than i'd love tony hawk, but i am one, and it especially annoys me when people say they want more cheats. Do u think its that easy to skate? most beginners cant even stand on their boards! Tony hawk honestly creates a bunch of poser kids that skateboard cuz they saw it on tony hawk. i just wanted to say, AMAZING GAME BECAUSE ITS SOOOOO EASY, but than its just too fake! I hope they create a better tony hawk!
|
They should have stoped with tony hawk 3 |
| Quentin Myers from ohio usa says (9/Jan/2003): |
ok i'll admit to it having great graphics but come on ppl this is sad real sad!there was 3 games like this before this one and if you bought the last 3 and like the game you might as well get up and go skate instead of playing games about skating all the time! I really skate and this game is really posser style game they really tried too hard to make it close to Real skating that they missed the whole point of SKATING all together skatings not about going pro its about just doing it cuz you enjoy it and have lots of fun with other skaters if you go pro you go pro thats that...
|
ya gotta love it |
| Matt from New Jersey says (8/Jan/2003): |
Come on, lets be honest-the game is amazing! compare it to the original THPS 1 and you'll see it clear as day. The game has come a long way from the orignal which hooked me in!! It has alot more challenges to complete and more skateable area in the levels. Anyone the complains about the music...come on, you bsically are sayin you spent $50 on a music CD cuz yur not playin the game! and yeah the spine transfer being the R2 L2 buttons now, hard to do maybe the 1st 10 min's i played till i realized that that button did that in this game! having the spine transfer allows you more mobility in the levels of the game to continue a combo (if you can revert), and with the games flatland tricks, it makes scores and combos unbelievable. all and all, you have to appreciate the game for what it is- Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4... not a Tony Hawks Music Vol. 4

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4? I play every day! |
| Steve from New york, USA says (8/Jan/2003): |
I can't believe how good this game is. I've long been a fan of THPS and this game is by far the best yet. In fact, THPS4 and Mortal Kombat: Dadly Alliance are the only two games I have ever paid $50 for. I can't believe anyone could criticize theis game, ever, you weaklings. Every THPS game has been somewhat different from the one before it, so of course this one's got some new features, are they that hard to learn? The music is great and stays true to other THPS games, which have always had good music. Spine transfers are OK guys, for those of you without a board, it's a part of skateboarding, you computer freaks. That's why it's Pro Skater and not Pro Gramer ,you science nerds. The truth is that THPS4 is the biggest, baddest Pro Skater ever, and it's a game that won't be topped until Pro Skater 5.
|
By far the best of the THPS series. |
| Adam Romero from Fresno, California, USA says (6/Jan/2003): |
First of let me respond to the most common complaint I seem to have run across in reviews. The music sucks. You know what...if you are too stupid to figure out how to go into the options menu and turn the music level down and flip on a stereo, you deserve to sit there for endless hours and listen to grating, force fed main stream music. I myself happen to be a country music fan but you know what...I didn't buy the game for the music. If you want good music, go to a music store. The re-configuration of the flat land tricks is awesome and I have mixed feelings on the spine transer capabilities. I know there are some people that don't like it...but don't you think that if these people can sit in front of a TV for 13 hours a day to play one game they should be able figure out two new buttons. I'm sure it's nothing that an hour or so of game play couldn't fix. The largers levels are nice but somtimes it takes a while to find the next goal. Some of the goals are just plain hard (i.e. the escape from alcatraz one) I do like the fact that each level as adequate street and vert areas as well as original lines to link the two together. The online play is awesome and within two days I went from scoring 200,000 or so in a two minute run to well over 4,000,000 in one 30 second combo. Just being able to play with people other than your friends definately opens up the game to new possiblities and allowing for different style. All in all the innovative game play when teamed with online capabilities did for the video game industry what the modern alphabet has done for communication.

Get Real! |
| Angelo from Chicago, USA says (5/Jan/2003): |
Ok, I addmit all the THPS games rock, but they keep on getting so darn fake! The only reason why I gave this game a 5 is because, free skate is awesome, so are the pro videos and the System of a Down and NWA songs. But really, the objectives just keep on getting dumber. Doing a 900 in a carnivial ride while the ride is actually going? Chasing down a rat? And collecting various junk for pedestrians? Sure the game is addictive and fun, but its taking away what real skateboarding is!!! There are kids out there who think its really possible to do a 900 to casper slide off a building. Come on!!! Make the objectives actually skateboard related!!! And one more thing - if theres gonna be a THPS5, make it more realistic, because its getting really stale!
