OFFICIAL Tony Hawk 4 Reviews/Impressions Thread
The reviews are startin' to come out. Gamers.com gave it a 10, IGN gave it a low to mid 9 (depending on your system) and Gamespot gave it also a low to mid 9. Simply put, all 3 reviews mentioned how amazing the series still is even with the little additions. Sounds good to me.
Hopefully someone picks this one up tomorrow or soon and can post some impressions. I for one am swamped with work and will have to put aside Tony for a week or so...bummer.

I'm really surprised this series continues to get accolades (TH3 got really high scores too) since it does so little to reinvent itself. I really wish someone would try and compete with it like the snowboarding titles compete with each other.

I was SO excited for this game.....till I ran out of money.
With my new XBOX and games and then Vice City I'll be lucky if I can afford gas here soon.
Actaully time is more a factor than money. I'm spreading myself too thin as it is and I know if I played this I'd be hooked. I will certainly rent it ASAP but I can't see buying till after the new year when the snow is here and I'm bored stupid at home.

You can get Vice City, THPS4 and another free PS2 game for $100 at Amazon. What a deal.
THPS3 got the highest reviews of the series and rightfully so...it was freakin' amazing and virtually flawless. Although I played the hell out of 3 to shreds I didn't own it, so #4 has my name written all over it.
Neversoft is one developer I don't mind raping me $50 for a $5 disc. It's always that damn good.

I did the buy 2 get 1 free deal for the XBOX and if I do it again I'm pretty sure my wife will use my XBOX and PS2 to beat me to death.
I have 8 new XBOX games and Vice coming. If I think out lod about getting one more I could very well lose them all in a divorce.
I'll have to read the reviews cause I hope the online portion of the game is good. That's what made me hold out and not get 3.

What's the 'official' release date? Amazon sez "not yet released", EBGames.com lists the 24th or 29th for the XBox version (depending on the page), CompUSA.com says the 25th, and GameStop.com claims it ships in 24 hours, though none of the local stores have any copies. The usual gaming sites haven't posted the expected "it's shipped!" updates either.

XBOX version got delayed a week. New release date is 10/30. Looks like I'll have to wait a little longer to play this game.

I wish they would have kept the trick list from the second one. I've been sitting on the fence, but I just heard that
is one of the skaters, so I think I'll have to get it now.

That said, I'll probably just end up buying THPS2X instead of TH4, especially since it's a lot cheaper.

Just picked up the Xbox version of this game today and damn I am impressed. You can just freeskate the levels if you want or talk to people to get your objectives which are timed. You also collect and earn money to unlock cheats, hidden characters, and hidden levels among other things.
The trick system isn't drastically changed with only the spine transfers and skitchin the cars added, but the game is as fun to play as ever. I'm loving it.
I played the demo of it on PS2 and the Xbox version looks much better. I have run into a few tough goals, but its nice that you can skip them now and come back to them later.

For those curious the hidden skaters I can see so far are
I've unlocked the first five levels so far. I'm having fun, but some of the objectives are super hard. Lots of challenge in this game.

darkside: I have been playing it for a couple of hours now, I have unlocked the first five levels even though I have only played the first 3. I can't beat the medal comp. in each level but every thing else I beat, I played with JF, but did not save it because I want to buy a secert level, have you got enought money yet(100,000) to buy the girl secert character.
