I want to get a Tony Hawks game (not Underground) and was wondering if you think I should get 3 or 4?

Not at all. The combo lines and skate parks were there, and there was room to breathe too. The level design was absolutely fine.
3's level design, however, was rubbish.

You can get 5 million combos on 4. No reason why not.
It's a skateboarding game. It should be about skateboarding. Getting off the board, driving cars - it's all unnecessary and not much fun anyway.

On 4 you can't walk though....
Which allows upwards of 5 million point combos.

The areas in four are too spread out and too dull. And neither three or four are as good as 2, which was the best in the series.

The areas in four are too spread out and too dull. And neither three or four are as good as 2, which was the best in the series.
Two was a personal favourite of mine, but - let's be honest - it was rather limiting in retrospect. You couldn't revert or spine transfer, and you had a time limit for levels. The engine wasn't as refined, the graphics are now dated and you couldn't customise as much.
Tony Hawk's 4, for me, took what made the second so great and added the next logical improvements. I found 3 very dull, Underground was too short and apparently Underground 2 isn't a whole lot better.
Pro Skater 4 is pretty much the defining game of the series.

I'd have to go with 2 myself.
But 4>3

Good God no.
Tony Hawk's 4 is far, far better than 3. The third really was a downturn in quality for the series. The fourth remains the best one so far.

2...
What?
What?
Cool :) Thanks.
3 is alot better. The tracks are more compact and less spread out, the unlockable characters are better, and 4 really doesn't have much extra.
