[Mercury Shadow]

I posted my impressions on another forum of the demo, so without further ado...

THPS4- If you know me, you'll know I despise the THPS series by now. I liked THPS1+2, but i had NO fun with 3 and hate the fact that everyone's copying them. This is why I'm pleasently surprised that THPS4 is auctually good. I really like the fact that there's no time limit, so in carrer mode, it's exactly like free skate and you choose when you want to do the goals. No pressure, jus have fun. The goals are more cool this time as well. What's also great (and if i remember correctly, was not in THPS3) is the gap list is in the menu when you press start. It's easier to see what gaps you've done than in THPS2 where you had to goto the main menu "options" to find out. Also, the level was really detailed and fun, contrary to THPS3's boring ass levels (cruise ship in TH3=gay). One problem I did have with it is that you go real fast. Right when you're standing, and you let go, you fly off like you have rocket boosters... thats kinda lame, i hope there's a simulation mode cheat like there is in THPS2 (not in 3, i might add) so I can pretend to skate like I wish I could in real life... :sigh: Anyways, if you have online capibility, you're in for a treat, this game is a shock to fans of the first 2.
