    Not a total disappointment. Konami did a wonderful job with the graphics and sound. Unfortunately, the rest needs some work.

    Sluggish at best and the controls leave a lot to be desired. Very often this game looks like it is moving at half speed, and you never get that visual feeling of speed that you get from other titles.

    This is a much improved effort by Konami, but it's not going to out-"Tony Hawk" Neversoft. No way. [Dec 2002, p.42]

    The level design is uninspired, the controls ... well don't, and the game's sense of speed is nonexistent.

    Just because the critics have a hard time converting to a game with dificulty, from the usual kiddy experiance that is TONY HAWK 4, they give up and under rate this game. I am a true skater, not a critic, and I think this is an outstanding game. It isn't too easy. It brings a challenge amungst gamers and skaters alike. Also , it gives credit to amazing pro skaters who most people may not know of. … Expand

    This game was soooo worth the amout of money i paid for it (8$) i mean THPS 4 may be better but it has been out for like 7 months and it is still 50$ i mean i dont think thats worth it. THe one problem i had was you CANT PICK THE LEVEL FOR VS MODE!!!!! that was the worst thing about the game. I also liked that i was more realilistic i mean in THPS you can get like 100,000 points with one trick but this game the most i have got was 12,000. I hope they make a sequel and fix the minor problems up.… Expand
