If you talked trash about thps4, read this. |
| Davy Thompson from Cyril, Ok, USA says (6/Dec/2002): |
Man I don't care what any one says, this game is awesome!! And to all of yall cheaters who beat it in one day 13 hours or whatever, of course it's to easy. Try playing the game without any cheats at all and really finish it. I mean all of the pro challenges and every thing, then tell me that it was too easy. My game had very few glitches and it played better than 12or3. I am done with every pro challenge exept Rune Glifberg's, That is Stinkin' hard (without cheats). And to all of you cheaters out there, be a man and really beat the game. peace. www.shade.cc

Whiny Bitches |
| Drageto from Welland, Ontario, Canada. says (7/Dec/2002): |
If you really think that this game isn't an improvement in the THPS series, then you all must be half retarded or somethin. I have been playing THPS4 on my XBOX for weeks now, and I can already tell that i aint never gone get tired of this game. I have only one thing to say to you ppl who played this game on PS2: Pawn It. Get an XBOX. The Online features are 10x as good as PS2, and the XBOX is getting better versions of your beloved GTA. XBOX is coming out with a game titled True Crime due on shelves in November 2003. XBOX also has a hard disk. allowing you to make games that can contain much more capacity than a PS2 game. But anyways, as for the THPS series, then go $#< remove me > at ! yourselves cuz it's great and you know it. So stop chuggin the Hatorade and pop THPS4 into your XBOX. It'll kill some time until Halo 2.

Whine more please |
| Jhurell from Cheney, USA says (9/Dec/2002): |
You could like attempt to write cheats, but no you feel that, "hey look, if you push down the x button and then let go of the X button you jump into the air and they call it an ollie." And do you think you could whine a little bit more about some really stupid things. "Oh God they changed the button set up how will I ever play again, it so hard to learn how to push a new button even though I play they game for hours upon hours." All games change the button set up, even Mario did, get over it. As for the originality of the game, gee this game seems like a lot of others, i.e. Grind Session, Tony Hawk One, Tony Hawk Two, Tony Hawk Three, etc. I do not feel that this game has any originality skateboarding games have been done before and will be done again and again ad nauseum. The fun factor was quit high; I played this game for like four hours. The life span of the game is . . . what the do they mean by life span, my Tony Hawk Pro Skater Four has not died yet so I do not know, wait a few more years and ask again.

thps 4 is the best game!!!! |
| A gamer from calgary, canada says (9/Dec/2002): |
This game is great. it is easy and fun, except some of the pro scores are hard to get. i think they need to have some even better levels though to make the game that much better. everyone who thinks that this game sucks, you are stupid its awsome. i agree there are some problems with it, but its still cool. one thing that could make it better, is to use more pro skaters and crap. these guys are old, they are in all the tony hawks. we need some new guys. like where is andy Mcdonald. that guy is cool.

*************** Better than 2, not as easy as 3.......... the only thing there is to piss on is Bart simpon's sports fee!****** |
| Bam Margera from Westchester, PA says (11/Dec/2002): |
The game has some improvements, but it is as fallows it's slogan take the Ultimate challenge! thats true. But I like this game because of the girlies. and I like the fact that u can expand their chests. So think of it this way from now on!
|
Better than ever!!! |
| 3-D from Bitburg, Germany says (17/Dec/2002): |
Tony Hawks' done it again! By far this is the best Hawk that I've played yet. I'm really gald that they go rid of the old way of everybody has got to do the same thing as the last person. When you complete a mission that's it. No more repeditive gameplay. The game also sets you up to do crazy stunts in crazy situations. The spine transfers allow for an easier more fluid run, and the flatland/oldskool tricks are great for when you're stuck in a stood-still manual. Overall the game is great, but... The first thing that I noticed right off the bat was that the game doesn't look as good graphically as Hawk 4. This probably has to do with how much game there is (and there is a lot). But, when you skate up and talk to someone the animation and rendering just looks a bit, well, cheesy. Another thing that bothers me is some of the music. Sorry but AC/DC may be the dogs #ollocks to some people, but in my eyes it's not exactly the best thing to skate to. Again, overall the game is hot. Having to stop and talk to people is a bit weird to get used to, but doesn't take away from the whole. I like the inovative step that the developers took to keep the franchise alive and well. The game stays fun and challenging from beginning to end. Some tasks you can complete first run, and some will take you an hour to figure out, but either way this game will consume all of your extra time so say bye-bye to the peole you love and skate your life away!!

The Game That Drives The THPS Masters Crazy |
| Chad7989 from Walker,Louisiana says (22/Dec/2002): |
I am a vert skater in THPS but have learned so much more from this game. Before the game was released it was said it was made to make awesome players better and I think they suceeded. The Pro Challenges are very difficult but can be done with practice. The Custom Skater option is awesome and the best yet without a doubt. I have yet to use the park editor but I looked at it and it seemed a little hard to manage. I agree that the spine transfer button was unnessecary but it hasn't crippled my game play yet. The new flatland tricks are awesome, even though they may be low points the manual to a handplant or pogo is awesome. The goals are progressively harder but it keeps you playing. Great job neversoft!

MUSIC SUCKED????? |
| Stu MAcdonald from Sydney, AUSTRALIA says (24/Dec/2002): |
For all you people who said the music sucked means that you have never stepped foot on a skateboard. Its a skaters game and so they add skater music. Im sure if you guys ask niceley they might add some geeky Star Wars music to the game so all you nerds who ONLY play video games and don't skate can be happy. As for the game - great, it is hard enough that I have been playing it for 3 weeks straight. MY thumbs are sore and my girlfriend is cranky - sorry guys but some of us do have REAL ones!!!!

Not a huge leap up from 3 |
| Fashun Messiya from Bedford, NH says (29/Dec/2002): |
First off, I like the spine transfer feature, not necessarily for getting over the spines (though, if your major problem with this is that you keep hitting L2 or R2 "accidentally", here's a tip STOP DOING THAT), but for the fact that if you launch out of a pipe you can save yourself. Yes, this makes the game easier...and somewhat more realistic. I don't know about anyone else in here, but I have NEVER seen a skater launch out of the side of a pipe and just land on his side. It was a stupid overlooked feature in previous releases that made the game harder in a very irritating way.
Graphically, 4 is similar to 3. The levels are different, the skaters look a little different, but If you had only ever played 3 once, and then played 4, you might not notice a difference. Not that this is a bad thing. In my mind, 3 was excellent graphically. The create-a-skater in 4 is tweaked slightly - you adjust the scale of the skater, instead of just height and weight. Otherwise, that's the same also.
The biggest change, as has been mentioned here, is the goal system - you don't just get a list of goals and two minutes to complete as many as possible. This is probably the best feature of the game, though not entirely innovative (check out Aggressive Bootskater...I mean, Aggressive Inline). It is great to be able to cruise the level and retry tricks over and over without having to reload the level.
As far as I can tell, the park editor is the same as 3, which is kind of a shame, as I always found the park size to be too small.
The music has been mentioned earlier, and it doesn't suck, but I liked THPS3's music much, much more. That playlist had about three songs that I got sick of. This playlist has about three songs that I enjoy. It's not that it's bad music (or that I'm not a skater, and thus I don't understand "skater music" which is a complete crock), it just doesn't do anything for me.
So basically, if you have 3, stick with it, and wait for the price of 4 to drop.

Cool! But very challenging |
| Matté W. from Anywhere, NY says (29/Dec/2002): |
I think it is a very good game but I just got it a few days ago. The goals are very challenging especially the one in Alcatraz where you have to hold onto a golf cart and get an exact height. But it is very fun and I really like it. The music I don't care what it is. But in all, I'm glad there was lots of blood on it!!

The Best Game out |
| Danny from Sheffield, England says (29/Dec/2002): |
THPS 4 is exciting filled with good challenges and lots of fun sub games.
This game is essential to any THPS fan, There are challenging and large environments, each with their own secret areas and mini games. The mini games are a good laugh especially the tennis one. And all of you people who posted those "well the graphics were a bit bad" reviews are out of your minds, oh and by the way X box sucks!
But anyway, the only thing that is questionable about this game is the soundtrack, that was kind of a downer with the THPS games 2 and 3 aswell, but pro skater 1's music was the best by far, thanks to THPS 1's music i got interested in alot of new bands. But the graphics on THPS 4 are unbeatable, mix that with a long life span, amazing new tricks like the switch foot pogo, colourful and deep environments and well planned challenges and you have the best game on all current platforms, buy it now!!!!

Pretty good game but not very many cheats for it. (im a game cheater) |
| Cheater Dude from High Springs, USA says (30/Dec/2002): |
Dude this is an awesome game but i wish it had more cheats like "unlock fmv sequence" and crap like that because the main thing i like about the thps games is the movies. I cant wait to unlock Rodney Mullens video cuz i heard it was better than in thps3. but there is no cheat to unlock it if anyone knows of a code that will do this email me at audioafreak64< remove me > at yahoo.com with this code or any other good codes for this game. thanx dudes

Great Music, Great memories |
| José from Mexico City, Mexico says (3/Jan/2003): |
well, I kinda liked this game. It just make me want to skate again... And the music is great. The hell with all those people complaining about the music, I mean AC/DC!! Iron Maiden!! and there is a DelaSoul Track from one of the old girl videos, I am not a hip-hop fan but that gave me some old memories. But the game is the same old thing.
|
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.

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...

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!
|
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
|
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.
