Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a skateboarding sports game that remakes and combines the third and fourth entries from the original series for modern hardware including PC. It features remade classic parks alongside new ones, an expanded roster of skaters, and updated tools for creation and progression while retaining the core arcade scoring system of chaining tricks for high scores.
Gameplay
The core loop centers on performing aerial flips, grabs, grinds, manuals, and lip tricks in third-person view to build combos and meet objectives. Runs follow a two-minute timer format across most modes, with players completing goals such as collecting letters, landing specific tricks, or reaching score targets to unlock further content. Controls emphasize responsive turning, stance switches, and balance mechanics that carry over directly from the prior remake in the series, allowing quick mastery for casual players while rewarding precise timing and creativity for advanced combos.
Progression includes stat upgrades earned through repeated play, which carry into New Game+ for tougher challenges like Pro Goals and Expert Challenges. Create-A-Skater offers detailed options for appearance, stance, push style, apparel, and board customization, while Create-A-Park provides extensive object placement, dynamic elements, and the ability to design and share custom goals for timed runs.
Game Modes
Single-player options include two Career Tours that guide players through goal-based runs on each park, Single Session for focused high-score attempts, Speedrun for beating personal best times, and Free Skate for open exploration without timers. Solo Tours allow replaying content as individual skaters with adjusted goals and letter placements based on skating style.
Multiplayer supports up to eight participants through cross-platform online play, with modes such as Trick Attack for highest score in a time limit, Score Challenge for reaching a target first, Combo Mambo and Combo Challenge for longest or highest combo scores, Graffiti for claiming sections of the park, and the new Hawk mode that alternates hide-and-seek phases with letter placement and collection. Local play adds Horse and Tag, while Free Skate serves as a casual shared space.
Parks and Progression
The game includes remade versions of parks from both original titles such as Foundry, Canada, Rio, Suburbia, Airport, Skater Island, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Cruise Ship, College, San Francisco, Alcatraz, Kona, Shipyard, London, and Zoo, plus three new additions: Waterpark, Movie Studio, and Pinball. All support 4K resolution with streamlined objectives that fit the two-minute structure. New Game+ retains earned stats for repeated playthroughs focused on harder variants of goals and additional expert objectives.
Is It Worth Playing?
The game delivers consistent, satisfying trick chaining and level navigation that suits both total newcomers learning basic ollies and grinds and experienced players chasing platinum-level goals or perfecting combos. Expanded creation tools and the addition of custom goal sharing extend replay value beyond the core tours, while cross-platform multiplayer provides competitive variety without requiring prior series knowledge. Reception highlights the polished handling and volume of content as strengths for fans of arcade skateboarding, with the streamlined format making sessions approachable yet deep enough for extended engagement on PC.
