1.                               Introduction
===============================================================================
When the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater first came out in 1999, it was easily
the best skateboarding game around. The simple fact that you could skate around
in a three dimensional environment and do tricks anywhere you wanted stood it
apart from all other extreme sports games.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 soon followed in 2000, and featured improved graphics,
and a much larger career mode. The game had improved upon the original in terms
of graphics, gameplay and size. The controls were greatly improved, and there
were many more tricks available.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 came out in 2001, on various formats. The main
upgrades were made to the next-generation console versions. The graphics and
gameplay were greatly improved, although career mode was similar to the
previous two games. The game could be completed very quickly for those with any
previous experience on the THPS series. But the controls and tricks were
updated again, and the series continued to get better.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 came out in 2002, and is the biggest game yet. It
features a massive 190 goals spread over nine levels. The gameplay has changed,
in that there is no longer a time limit when you first start playing a level.
To be given goals in this game, you have to skate up to people with arrows
above their heads, and talk to them. This is a similar method of gameplay to
Aggressive Inline, and it works just as well in this game.
The difficulty has been set much higher than in previous games. Although the
challenges start off easy, it's only when you get to a certain point in the
game when a whole load of pro challenges are unlocked. These pro challenges,
even in the first level, may be challenging for even the most experienced THPS
players.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 has had small upgrades to the graphics and gameplay,
and a huge revision to the career mode. Whereas the previous three games could
be completed in a few hours, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 will take much longer to
complete. Overall, this is by far the best and most difficult extreme sports
game on the PlayStation 2.

2.                          Tips on Scoring Points
===============================================================================
1: New to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is the ability to do manual tricks. To try
some out, go into a manual, and try some double tap combinations (Square,
Square - Triangle, Triangle - Circle, Square, etc.). This is a great way of
getting even more points out of a big trick combo.
2: Use grinds. Press triangle + a direction while on a rail. Grinds are one of
the most essential parts to scoring points in the game. To grind, approach a
rail, jump, and then press triangle to land in a grind on the rail. The
speed effects the amount of points you get, but the balance of the skater
becomes less stable the longer you grind on a rail.
3: Use grabs. Press circle + a direction to perform a grab. Grabs can be held
for more points. Release the grab just before landing so you don't crash and
lose the points.
4: Use flip tricks for quick points. Press square + a direction to perform a
flip trick. Because flip tricks are so quick, they can be used many times in
the air. For example, kickflip + heelflip.
5: The more tricks you do in a combo, the more points you will get. A kickflip
is 100 points. A heelflip is 100 points. But doing both in one combination
of tricks (kickflip + heelflip) is worth 400 points. The reason for this, is
that the total points for the two tricks are 200 points. That total is then
multiplied by the number of tricks in the combination (2), which equals 400.
This process of scores is used in other tricks, such as grabs, flip tricks,
and grinds. Try and do many tricks in a combination to get bigger scores.
6: Use the revert. Get some air on a quarter pipe or half pipe, and quickly tap
L2 or R2 after landing to go into the revert. As soon as the revert has been
done, go into a manual by tapping up + down, or down + up, which will keep
the points from the jump on the ramp. From the manual, you can then continue
the combo by flip tricking, grabbing, or grinding a rail.
7: Get used to special moves. They give a lot more points than normal tricks.
While playing the game, press start - Options - Edit Tricks - Special
Tricks. Press any of the slots to change to a special move, and then select
a button combination. Special grinds are especially useful, as you can use
them in a combo so easily.
8: Tricks while grinding. While grinding, jump and then do a flip trick such as
a kickflip, and then land back on the grind. Spin each time you jump on the
rail, and use special grinds for further points.
