    An incredibly enjoyable port. Veterans of the series will appreciate the spaced out levels and new pace, as well as the serious increase in difficulty late in the game.
  2. A few new moves have been introduced, the missions now have a less constrained non-linear feel to them, and the online play has been greatly improved from the PS2 version. However, it's recommended that you invest in a good analog gamepad.
  3. A huge game, packed with levels, skaters, new tricks, tons of humor, and with gameplay that'll challenge you to the end: you're likely to keep playing this one for a long time.

    Huge, humorous, exciting, and addictive -- exactly what we've come to expect from the series.
  5. TH4 is so packed with content and character that even a non-skater should have a wicked time when armed with a solid gamepad. [Dec 2003, p.109]
  6. The PC port may be on par with previous PC installments, adding higher resolution options while maintaining the gameplay that made the series great, but the narrow distribution and somewhat clunky external player-matching program make for a great game that's difficult to play online.
  7. The PC version of THPS4 is a by-the-book port with one major upgrade: the online mode.
  8. It's gonna take you a while to get a grip on the controls, since there are many keys that need to be memorized in order to pull off different moves. As such, I think that many gamers might not be satisfied with the keyboard option.
  9. You're given a wider degree of freedom than in the series' past entries. [Dec 2003, p.144]
