User Rating: 9.5 | Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 PS2
I think this game is the best in series because this has the features only needed in this game and its fun because its just like real life skateboarding. Its fun because you get to combo your tricks easier to make a really big trick. In this game there are fourteen out of the thousands of professional skateboarders. The pro skaters that are in this game are Rodney Mullen, Bam Margera, Jamie Thomas, Bob Burnquist, Tony Hawk, Steve Cab, Eric Koston, Mike V, Ellisa Steamer, Andrew Reynolds, Geoff Rowley, Rune Glifberg, Kareem Campbell, Chad Muska, and Bucky Lasek. Each pro has a reason to be on here. Like Rodney Mullen he is on here because he invented all the basic flips and all the basic flatlands, he is the king of freestyle. Tony Hawk invented the hardest rotations and crazy grabs. Bam Margera is on here for his music bands like CKY and HIM, and his crazy show on MTV "jack ass". Jamie Thomas for his sick long grinds. Bob Burnqusist for making sick tricks in huge vert sections. Andrew Reynolds for his biggest gaps that its almost possible to do. Steve Cab the street skater that could skate vert he is known for skating every object he has found. Eric Koston he is good for linking his combos. Bucky Lasek for his soft easy runs that make him land his tricks. Mike V is the craziest and strongest skater in the world he could find the crappiest objects and still skate them. Rune Glifberg he makes big air with slow tricks. Elissa Steamer the woman with not high ollie but still can land the worlds biggest gaps. Kareem Cambpell the skater that likes to land his tricks perfectly. Geoff Rowley has been known for fliping into grinds. Chad Muska the skater that grinds the impossibe. You are impressed arent you. There are goals you will need to accomplish in each level. There 90 goals and then after you finish most of them you will get the pro goals which include in the advanced goals. So in all its 180 goals. Each time you beat a goal you will be awarded with money and sometimes even stat points. You can use the money for decks, movies, cloths, hidden skaters, and secret levels. The tricks are teched up with some new awsome feature. Like when ever doing a manual you could also switch it to another flatland like casper, anti casper, pogo, and more. You could also rotate your flatland or even flip it. Then there are the flips you could just do a regualer flip trick or transition it to a better flip trick of its type by double tapping and triple tapping for examples do a kickflip or multi tap it to make a double kickflip or a triple kickflip. Then there are grabs where you could basically bust a grab or double tap that for example do a nosegrab and to do a double tap press the nosegrab button twice to do a rocket air. Then theres the grind transitions where you do a grind lets say a smith and then you could transition it to a 50-50. Last but not least the lip transitions where if your street you can do a noseblunt to a rock fakie but if your vert you can bust a gymnastics plant and transit to a eggplant or something like that.
