    Where else can you skate to Iron Maiden, AC/DC, De La Soul, Public Enemy and the Sex Pistols? "Evolution Skateboarding"? Yeah, right! [Dec 2002, p.76]

    A vast improvement over its predecessors.
  3. Takes all the best elements from the past three games and polishes them to a blinding shine.

    This is absolutely, without a doubt, the most complete and impressive edition of the THPS series yet.

    Many missions - while fun - take away from the skating, which is why we play the game. [Dec 2002, p.130]
  6. I really got into "THPS 3" and I'm happy to report that THPS 4 is a better game in every possible way.
  7. Freed from time constraints, you now accomplish level-specific goals—like outmaneuvering skater-busting cops—to advance while on the lookout for secret minigames.

THIS is a very hard This game is awesome it takes a while to learn but if you are an experienced game player you should learn in no time. THIS is a very hard game. I have had it for two months and I still have not beat it. Do not get frusturated like I said this is a very hard game. All I can say is this is a very hard game even extremely good gamecube players will have a hard time so do not get frustrated. Expand

    THPS4 is really good, but i didn't find as much replayability after i was done souping. It takes a lot of effort to find the really good THPS4 is really good, but i didn't find as much replayability after i was done souping. It takes a lot of effort to find the really good combos, like in Tony 3, which was also an excellent game. Overall it's worth purchasing and enjoying for a long time to come. Expand
