Sure, Tony Hawk 4 plays better on the PS2. But for a portable system, this is probably as good as it gets. Sometimes, due to the 2d/3d viewpoint, it is tough to pinpoint a landing or how to get onto an obstacle. That is really my only gripe, b/c you can 100% throw down with Hawk 4 due to the trick engine. The levels are pretty big and each of 'em have lots of stuff to skate. Get this game.

Tony Hawk 2 was one of the GBA's lauch titles and was undeniably impressive in terms of graphics and gameplay. Last year's Tony Hawk 3 tried to improve on the formula but was mostly the same game as before. Now, the developers at Vicarious Visions have made some great refinements and the new Tony Hawk 4 improves on all of it's predecessors to date. Players can now choose mission goals like finding a secret tape and collecting COMBO in one big grind, making the game structure less restrictive than ever before. Graphicly speaking the graphics have never looked better on the tiny GBA scree. The skaters are fluidly animated and the environments are nicely designed and bigger than ever. Control is tricky at first but eventually becomes tight (as in the last two Tony Hawk GBA games), but most importantly the series' trademark addictive gameplay remains intact, making Tony Hawk 4 one of the best GBA games to ever be produced, and a must buy for GBA owners.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is a must. You should get it because its challenging and fun at the same time!
