Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 for the PS1 is a very well designed game. You can now, on the new Go Pro feature, choose which goals you want to complete. No more long checklists of goals you have to complete in 2:00. You can now take all the time you want to explore a level before doing a goal. This is one of the good qualities of the PS1 version, but, for every good quality, there is dissapointingly a bad quality.

One very bad quality is that all the levels are now designed in some kind of 70's/80's era where there are no bold lines. This have never looked this way on Tony Hawk games. The first level, College, is designed to look more real and like the PS2 version, well, the fact of the matter is, it can never look anything like the PS2 version because it is PS1. The makers of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater have stupidly tried to expand PS1 graphics furthur than they can go. On the Alkatraz level, when you are going into a different area, you have to skate through a black pit that mysteriously takes you to the other side of where you are going, this does not look real. Another awful problem Tony Hawk 4 is having is one that all of the Tony Hawks have had, when you go to 2-player mode the levels get smaller. Even though this has always been a problem, it has never been this bad. I must admit that when i went to 2-player mode i thought my PS1 had defaulted, there is nowhere to skate. The sky disappears mysteriously and all the secret skate spots are gone. Another question i have been wondering is why does it say on this products description that you can 'Skich on the back of a car', let me ask this website one question: HOW DO YOU 'SKICH ON THE BACK OF A CAR' WHEN THERE ARE NO CARS! HOW DO YOU SKATE THROUGH TRAFFIC WHEN THERE IS NO TRAFFIC! These are bad marketing problems, if you didn't know better, you'd buy this game thinking you could do those things when you can't. And what the heck happened to the PRE-MADE SKATEPARKS. They are the same ones that were in Tony Hawk 2.

I think that the Tony Hawk games have gone in a tragic decline since THPS2. Sony needs to understand that they should not keep bringing these games out for PS1. The majority of gamers have a PS2, X Box, or GameCube already so what is the point? I have listed how i think the Tony Hawk games for PS1 rank in order of how GOOD they are:

1. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - The original and my favorite of the PS1 Tony Hawk games.

2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - Designed wonderfully, great level layout, tons of new features, awesome!

3. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 - New features, new design, not that many new options.

4. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - Poor design, no new options or features, no new design, awful gameplay, not a good Tony Hawk.

I don't care what anyone says about this game! not even GuyWhoPlaysVideoGames could talk me out of getting this terrific game! (he's somewhere in the other reviews) I think it's great that those video game companys are putting xbox,gamecube, and PS2 games on playstation, it helps our parents who don't have much money get us what we want, even though most of us don't have all those new consoles, because they are WAY too expensive! we can still have some new games without having to spend so much money on so many little things like memory cards that in 3 years will be 5 bucks each!! so I want to thank all those companys and sony for helping give us not-so-rich-kids a little taste of the newest games on the market.

this game is one of the best games ever made if u like skateing u will love this even if u dont u will like it my friends hate skateing but they love this and the previous games

man this game is like 5 out of 5 it is the bomb you will love this game like it where real live levels like sanfran london and chicogo. if i hated skateboarding but i dont i would get this game. not because its a game because it looks like somthing intressting better than the rest. irate it the best game of 2002 and 2003. every one i know wants it wich would be probeble my hole school. i know i like it i have like gotten most the levels its asome. specail thanks to tony hawk and activision you made it all happen...

This game is hard to play at times, but I like the music and have a lot of fun playing it.

i got this game for chistmas last year. it is fun but a little hard.
GRAPHICS 10/10
you can see every thing very clearly at all times
SOUND 10/10
it sounds like a real skateboarder skating
DIFFICULTY 10/10
it has goals that range from newbie to pro skill levels
the object of the game is to collect goalpoints and move to different levels.I have beaten most of this game but so far there have been no skiching on cars or skating through traffic.this game is worth every cent you pay for it. you do not need a strategy book to beat it.it may be hard at first but after you get out of college it gets really fun. dont worry after you pass a level you can explore before you try carrer mode

Yeah, heres one last attempt from THPS to grab a couple grand from some rearing tony hawk nerds waiting for this years edition.
The graphics are decent, the levels are decent, the tricks are decent. A mediocre game but still fun to just ride around and trick up ledges and stuff. Instead of the mission list u get for each level u ride around and go through these little icon things and then it gives u a mission to do. A stupid idea but the dudes at THPS probably try and change it up every year. Sountrack is okay but there is only five levels. Okay game but dont go gettin ur hopes up.

yes you can ride the back of cars i do it all the time and you can go in traffic. I have played this game lots of times and have beat it 2 times. there is a mission where you ride the back of the professers car so take that. but really if you liked tony hawk2 and 1 you should get this 5out of 5 star game.

this game dos not have cars at all..... its a good game if you like doing tricks but NO CARS AT ALL!! i was mad about that but really it is a pretty good game and very good grafics and has cool skaters in it, good grafics, and lots of secrets.

This is a good game for the average gamer or anyone who is nuts on skate boarding.This game has good gameplay much like the earlier Tony Hawk 2.The levels are the same size maybe smaller.The better thing about Tony Hawk 4 is that you can choose what task you would like to do.I have played this game a few times and am still yet to see a car or traffic.So i would buy this game if I was you but you will not be blowen away.
