Amazon.co.uk Review
Just in case you didn't know, the Tony Hawk's series is the best skateboarding sim ever--and now, with the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, it's even more so. Skateboarding is taken far more seriously nowadays, with legions of baggy trousered youths now able to refer to moves such as a bluntside or overcrook with a perfectly straight face. Indeed, the list of silly names for ridiculously dangerous stunts has been increased for this latest sequel and you now have the added ability to skitch (hold onto the back of a moving car) and grind through traffic. The big new change, though, is the career mode, which now has specific goals and milestones for all the different skaters and really adds to the replayability.

Curiously, the graphics are still not particularly good, with the same slightly muddy, undefined look to them that the developers presumably now think is all part of the fun. They have however thankfully realised that having time limits for the levels was an unnecessary limitation and, except for a few specific missions, you've now got all the time in the world to graze your knees and cave in your skull. Add in a new and improved online mode and you've got everything the discerning extreme sportsman could desire. --David Jenkins

This review refers to the PS2 version of the game.

The Best Tony Hawks Game Ever!!!
I doubted that this game would beat number 3, but surprisingly it did.
Better graphics, more moves, bigger levels, pretty much everything a sequel should be.
The two player modes give the game extra life. There are different types of two player, Graffiti Tag Horse and all the other ones from previous games.
As usual the X-BoX version is much better than the ps2 version.
If you are wandering whether to get this game here is your answer:GET IT!

P.S If you are the type of gamer that likes easy games that take a short amount of time to complete, stay away from this one!

Return of the hawk
Tony Hawk's pro Skater 4 is the best ever skateboarding game. The levels are huge and the trick system is 2nd to none. This game could last for ever with all it's features and now half the price of before, it's the best Hawk game yet

Tony Hawk does it again!
My god, this game is the best! If you are into snowboarding, skating or whatever this is the game for you. Its just difficult enough to make it last for a while, so the gameplay is superb. The graphics could have been a little bit better, but i really dont care because you stop thinking about it the moment you start skating. I have choosen to give this game a 5! because its probably the best game i have to my xbox.
