    I'm not to fond of skateboarding games, I'd rather get out there and do it my self. When I do play though this would be a good choice. It's online and has not too many flaws, but I'd rather lpay somthing with a background story about more than a guy's carrer. (No affence Tony!) Try simpsons skatboarding or something really playable.

    I have to say I was reluctant to buy the game due to it being the same format as TH1, 2 and 3. Although it is not the best TH game on the shelves i have to say it impressed me!

    Story - n/a
    Gameplay - 9/10
    Graphics - 8/10
    Soundtrack - 7/10 (great but not as memorable as some other ones)
    Levels - 7/10 (shipyard is awful, overall map quality isn't great as some other TH games either)
    Replay value - 7/10 (some of the missions make this game not as replayable as some other TH games)

    This is the second Tony Hawk game I ever played and I remember liking it much less when I was very young simply due to the fact that you couldn't get off your board. Obviously that was a ridiculous reason but my base opinion still sort of holds true.

Obviously that was a ridiculous reason but my base opinion still sort of holds true. This game is great, don't get me wrong but I think the perfect simplicity of the Pro Skater franchise had lost a bit of its magic by this point. It just serves as a slightly awkward middle point between the classic Pro Skater titles and the later Underground games.

    The 2 minute timer was gone with no story to accompany it. The Tony Hawk engine was created but not yet perfected. The map selection has some gems but also some forgettable areas as well. It has more content than Tony 3 but I'd say 3 is probably the overall better game between the two. It's still a great game though and I have no doubt I'll be revisiting it until I die.
    I beat this game in September of 2020.    … Expand

    Featuring a lovely variety of online-multiplayer games based on the best trick system in gaming, THPS4 is terribly addictive and ridiculously fun.

    The total package is a much bigger leap forward than "Hawk 3" in almost every way. [Holiday 2002, p.42]

    Even if you aren't interested in the online portion, Activision and Neversoft have still nailed down another extremely solid sequel to the Tony Hawk franchise.
