Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 opened up the series with large, free-roaming levels where you skate at your own pace, chat with characters around each area and take on goals whenever you like instead of racing a two-minute clock. Grind, manual and flip your way through locations such as Alcatraz, a London skate spot, Kona skatepark and a Hollywood studio lot, linking tricks into enormous combos with the new spine transfer and skitching moves. Pros including Tony Hawk, Bam Margera and Rodney Mullen are ready to ride, or you can build your own skater and design custom parks with the deep creation tools. A punchy soundtrack mixing punk, rock and hip-hop drives every session, and split-screen modes like Horse and Graffiti make it a great pick for playing with friends.
