Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (2002)

Release Date: October 29, 2002
Developer: Activision

THPS4 is the fourth game in Activision's ever-popular franchise. The main feature of this game is its redesigned career mode. When beginning a level, you have all the time in the world to skate around, perform tricks, and get a feel for the level, without the hassle of any goals or time limits. When you're ready to attempt a goal, simply find a pro skater, talk to him, and then receive the goal. Goals are similar to the previous games, such as collecting SKATE and getting a certain amount of points.
