Virtual skateboarding continues its unstoppable evolution as the Tony Hawk Pro Skater game offers its latest iteration for the PC, porting almost directly from the Xbox. All of the familiar tricks and stunts are back in the fourth edition, as well as a few new moves with more possible combinations, larger levels, more flexible gameplay, and extremely impressive graphics. As it should, Tony Hawk 4 retains the best aspects of its previous version and tweaks gameplay to improve the overall experience.The demo version has enough to keep gamers happy for a while. Only three skaters and one level (the college campus) are available, but 16 various goals and missions gleaned from folks around town offer Tony Hawk newbies an excellent chance to try out all the essential jumps, kicks, grabs, and combos. Big fans of the series won t necessarily need to download the chunky 132MB file to learn anything new, yet the demo by itself beats the pants off some other full commercial offerings.
Publisher's Description
From Activision:
Claw your way up through the amateur ranks to prove yourself in the professional world of skating. The world's best skateboarding game reinvents itself to give users the real-life experience of a hardened amateur skater. A completely new career mode with a "Go Pro" theme complements the same game aspects that have made Tony Hawk Pro Skater such a phenomenon.

"THPS4 Review - 3&1/2 if it were possible"
Version: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 demo
Pros
Advancements on previous games
Cons
Unrealistic aspects, missing skating
Summary
With smooth graphics, and excellent game play, this game starts off with a 5 star from me. But the unrealistic aspects, for example, two seperate kick flips then a varial flip on a quater pipe, makes me want to remove a star. But unrealistic skating has been an aspect of Tony Hawks Pro Skater since the original, so its to be expected I guess, so half a star off. Next is the Legend, and by my personal opinion more of a Legend than Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen. In a number of his videos, he sits on the spot pulling off tricks. In the college stage, there is a perfect little round roof for this sort of thing, the down side is, the skater wont stay still, you try to get him into primo stance, and he starts sliding, even from a stand still, or a spriong and he starts moving. For some many titles out, you would think Rodney Mullens style would've been taken into account. A whole star removed, for this skating legends sake.

"Good game but not something I would buy for my computer"
Version: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 demo
Pros
Excellent fun. Easy to learn controls.
Cons
Hard to balance grinds on the pc due to the fact that when you press an arrow key the balance meter jumps to that side. However in the Playstation version pressure controls in the joysticks make it a lot easier to balance.
Summary
You will get all you need to have fun in the demo. Don't buy this game unless you just have to finish the storyline,need to use other characters, or want a version for your Paystation.
