"People who own #4 and love THPS, should get THUG, while on the other hand people who hate skating games, or just don't care about them, move along, as you won't find anything cardinally new here."
"While the classic Tony Hawk gameplay is still fantastic after all this time, the new story mode doesn't make as dramatic of a change as it probably could have."
"T.H.U.G. is looking like a total evolution of the series rather than a simple sequel, and it appears that Neversoft isn't just content with making the same game again and is rather shooting for a 1080 with this one."
"The long list of pro skaters who have appeared time and again in the series haven't been axed by any means. Though they've been pushed to the side by your home-grown character, pro skaters such as Tony Hawk, Chad Muska, Bam Margera, Bob Burnquist, and Bucky Lasek, among others, make star appearances to give you a challenge, offer a tip and to play a part in the game's storyline. Even old-school skaters from the sport's biggest progressions make cameos."
"...a solid, if not a perfect, outing. The level design is virtually flawless, with a honed mixture of wide open and tight designs. The gameplay is still as stellar as ever: Neversoft's brilliant collage of on-the-fly experimentation and lighting-fast trick-popping is still as addictive as any drug and as intoxicating as any exotic woman."
