Video Game Reviews of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (Playstation 2)
Customer Review: Just awful.
Summary: 1 Stars
This game was quite the disappointment.
The same problems that plagued the earlier Tony Hawk games were still there, but the developers seem to have forgotten the limitations of their medium - making everything needlessly more difficult at times simply for some shadow of authenticity to the game.
The first time I opened up the game, I played it for about five minutes before Alt-F4ing out of it in disgust. The jokes are absolutely terrible and juvenile, to the point where it's just annoying - perhaps this is appropriate for a 10 year old, but the humor lacks the subtlety it had in the earlier games. This was the first problem. The objectives that you have to complete have become much more frustrating over the point of the last few games - one comes to mind where you have to skate through a coliseum and knock down five "jocks" in one combo, and another where a stereotypical Frenchman obnoxiously declares, "you stupid skater-person ha-ha-ha-ha" repeatedly until you beat him in an incredibly nonintuitive tennis game. After this, a bum instructs you to kill a series of imaginary pink elephants. Now, I realize Tony Hawk himself is probably nearing 50 years old now, but this is no excuse for such stupid objectives. I've been skating since I was in fifth grade, and it seems like these games are distancing themselves further and further from the reality of skating and its associated culture. It was extremely hard to get into repeatedly knocking down a bunch of football players running in circles, and my disgust at the task got worse each time.
If you're going to keep iterating versions of what's basically the same game, Neversoft, you need to work on actually improving the game instead of adding a whole bunch of irrelevant crap. For your own sake, whoever's reading this review, don't buy this game, it's terrible.
