I do not usually get real hyped up about games, but once this game came out I was all over it because it's awesome...
User Rating: 9.1 | Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 PS2
This is by far the best Tony Hawk game that they have ever made and I do not believe they will ever be able to beat it no matter how many more Tony Hawk games they put out there. It has great graphics, and the way that they set it up, making it different from any of the others is great and it is also the best. Then the graphics are also pretty good and that is about the most they will be able to improve. Gameplay: The overall gameplay is still pretty much like the older TH games but is more improved and is awesome. In the originals you had a checklist that you had to complete pretty much in order to obtain all of the levels. In TH4 you still have objectives but they are put out much better than they did the originals. In TH4 you are able to take as much time as you want on the level and you can even play around without having to worry about completing any of the objectives at that point in time. Though, once you want to start a objective that is where the fun begins. In the game there are people standing around with arrows above there head and those are the people who have the objectives. You go up to them, talk to them and then they give you one that you must complete. These objectives vary anywhere form just getting a simple score to have to race the cops. Also every time you complete an objective, a new one usually comes up for you tom complete. Once you have completed enough total objectives, you will earn a new level and overtime you can even get new characters. Also once you have completed enough objectives in enough levels you get new pro objectives for each level that are the hardest to complete out of all the objectives. So the way they set this part up is very good. Then there is also multiplayer which is very fun because you choose any level and of course like the rest you go head to head in the game you choose. Then there is the tricks and they are very good in this game. In this game you are able do a lot more tricks than the last games, and you can also do combos, a lot of combos. In TH4 manualing is a very good thing because they connect tricks and that leads to really high combos. Also the tricks are laid out very well for they are set up so the more buttons you press kind of the different and more tricks you do. So all in all the gameplay of TH4 is very good. Graphics: The graphics in TH4 of course are better than all of the previous games and is still the same if not better than the newer TH games. The graphics are set up so that each level is unique and each person in each level is different and you can tell a lot about them. There is one point you have an objective with an elephant and it really almost looks like a real elephant. So the graphics are laid fairly well and do deserve a good score. Sound: The sound in the game is actually pretty good. Unlike the originals where are you heard really was the same sounds over and over, this is different. Different things you do tricks on and grind on will make different noises. Also since you talk in this one, you hear a lot of people's voices. And what is cool is that each person's voice is pretty different. But basically the sound they made was pretty good and they did a good job on it. Value: The value of the game is pretty much perfect. This game has everything that you need. It ahs hours and hours of fun that you can keep playing over and over and you will never get tired of the game because each time you can do things different and become better at the game and be able to dominate over your friends. Also it is very fun and that is what every game needs is fun. So the value of this game is pretty much perfect. Reviewer's Tilt: I loved this game and I think anyone who likes any TH games should definitely buy this game because it is the best out of all of them. My favorite thing is that you are able to grind and manual for a long time and that will rack up your points. Also I love to manual because there is not just one type of manual and that is fun to discover the names of all of them. Also it is just a fun game totally and me and my friends always play it because it is one of our favorite games. So I would say that anyone who can buy this game......should.
