Overall, it just seems like Vicarious Visions ran out of time with this port and it feels more like half of a game rather then complete game. Personally, i don't care much for the soundtrack for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 because i don't think it's quite as well setup as the soundtrack was for the previous three games. The game manages to fit good portion of the soundtrack on this version. The controls, for the most part, are the same as the PS2 version with a few changes due to the smaller trick list. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 should be remembered not just as a bad game, but as an indicator of the industry’s hubris, where games are continuously released in a broken state. Now visually, yes, Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 is not a great looking game. However, one thing that does remain the same is the games controls. While the previous Tony Hawk games for the Playstation didn't have the greatest framerate either, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 feels incredibly sluggish and gets worse when you're doing tricks. The levels are surprisingly big but unfortunately since this version doesn't have the people or any of the other insane stuff running through the levels like the other versions, it makes for a pretty boring experience. The detail on the levels are not nearly as good as the previous Tony Hawk games on the Playstation and the physics are not nearly as good either. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 for PlayStation 3 game reviews & Metacritic score: Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 offers a fresh take on combo-driven skateboarding, the most advanced online multiplayer experience, & a state-of-the-art skatepark b. However, there are certain parts of this game that really makes it feel like an unfinished port. The trick list is significantly smaller as well. Obviously, many of the gameplay mechanics that existed on the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube versions have been removed. The gameplay is very much like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2.

Vicarious Visions does fair job porting this game. This was the only Tony Hawk game that they have ever ported for a console, in this case, the PS1. Vicarious Visions is pretty well known to Tony Hawk fans as the company that has created most of the handheld Tony Hawk games. Vicarious Visions was selected to create this port of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.
