IV. GAME CONTROLS
=========================================================

As most of you have figured, the controls for THPS4 are basically no
different than 3, 2, or 1, except for a few minor changes, listed below:

- SKITCHING ~ Hold UP behind any moving vehicle until you grab on (then
              you can let go). You must balance like you were grinding.
              Tap DOWN to let go with SiC speed!

- SPINE TRANSFER ~ When approching a spine (double sided quarter pipe)
                   ollie off of the top and then tap L2 or R2 to transfer
                   to the other side. This can be followed up by a revert
                   and manual to rip some sic combos.

- FREESTYLIN' ~ I love this since I'm more of a street skater. First, manual
                or nose manual (DOWN UP, or UP DOWN) and tap any combination
                of two buttons (TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, or SQUARE -- don't use X).
                EXAMPLE - tap DOWN, UP to manual, then tap TRIANGLE + TRIANGLE
                to go to a Pogo. Then tap SQUARE + SQUARE to Wrap Around.


D-Pad / Left Analog (L3) -- Move your character. Press in coherence with TRIANGLE,
                            CIRCLE, or SQUARE to do a trick.

Right Analong (R3) -- Switch Camera Angle (Hold)

Start -- Pause Game. Make Menu Selections.

Select -- NO USE

CIRCLE -- Use with L3 to do GRAB TRICKS

TRIANGLE -- Use with L3 to do a grind on a ledge or rail. Press TRIANGLE alone to
            do a 50-50 grind. Use at a 45 degree angle to a wall to wallride

SQUARE -- Use with L3 to do FLIP TRICKS

X Button -- Ollie (jump), Nollie, Wallie (while wallriding)


============================================================================
V. Styles, Modes, and Types of Play
============================================================================

CAREER MODE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mode you will spend most of your time on. In this mode, you skate
around and talk to people with blue (or red) arrows over their heads and
complete the goals they ask of you. Red arrows are harder goal, but you
don't earn these until you complete at least one skaters pro challenge.
Also in this mode, you can earn new levels, stat points, new special trick
spots (can be edited), and of course, CHA-CHING... cash!!!

SINGLE SESSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ya got 2:00 to roam the (unlocked) level of your choice. The only real
point of this mode is to set goals and try to challenge yourself to beat
your old ones. Blah, blah, blah...

FREE SKATE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another mode most people like to play when they're fed up with all of those
darn goals. Shred the level of your choice and skate for as long as you want,
or at least until your PS2 (GC, XBOX) explodes!

TWO PLAYER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Got a friend over? Well here ya go! The different types of games are TRICK
ATTACK - most points wins, GRAFFITI - trick off objects and make them your
color, FREE SKATE - do I need to explain this? SLAP! - run into your opponent
the most times and win, KING OF THE HILL, HORSE, COMBO MOMBO. The last two
are CAPTURE THE FLAG and GOAL ATTACK, but can only be played online!

NETWORK PLAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This involves taking your PS2 online which I haven't done yet. I am hoping to
get an adapter sometime around Christmas or my B-Day. You can play Capture the
Flag and Goal Attack with up to 8 people!


===========================================================================
VI. THE WALKTHROUGH / LEVEL FAQ
===========================================================================

The following levels that are seen in this FAQ:

COLLEGE
SAN FRANCISCO
ALCATRAZ
KONA SKATE PARK
SHIPYARD
LONDON
ZOO
CARNIVAL
CHICAGO

Also, I will rate each level, 1-10, 1 being BAD, 10 being SIC, based on size, shredability
and how much you can interact.


+--------------------------------+
|            COLLEGE             |
+--------------------------------+

RATING: 6 - An average level with tons of ramps and a few mini
	    games to boot. A nice level for "noobs".


******************************************************************
High Score
******************************************************************
- VERY EASY
- You must get a high score of 40,000 in 2:00
- Just pop some combos and a few specials - this should be no challenge
  to most THPS players

******************************************************************
Pro Score
******************************************************************
- VERY EASY
- Pull off a 75,000 score in 2:00
- Also very simple ~ just snag a few specials, reverts, and manuals and
  it's in the bag

******************************************************************
Collect Skate
******************************************************************
- VERY EASY
- Collect the letters of S-K-A-T-E
- As in most SKATE goals, the letters are followed by one another.
- (S) By a blue and white building, hard to miss. Grind a blue rail, ollie
      and grind again to snag this letter
- (K) On a wire by the yellow steel beam parking garage. Go to the top and
      jump out to the left on a wire to catch the K
- (A) Acuire the A by launching the frat house ledge
- (T) Near the A, you can't miss it. Go up a blue ramp and the letter is
      yours!
- (E) Building across from the T. You'll need to spine transfer to snag it!

******************************************************************
Collect Combo
******************************************************************
- EASY
- Collect the green C-O-M-B-O letters ~ in one COMBO
- Grind the rail with the (C), and keep shredding for the (O), (M), (B).
  Jump over the bridge when you see the last (O) and snag it.

******************************************************************
Race The Inline SKater
******************************************************************
- EASY
- Luge through the flags all over the course (there is a red arrow that
  tells you where to go)
- Not much to explain. Race and make sure you make it through the flags.
  This is a real easy goal to grab

******************************************************************
Nail The Tricks They Yell Out
******************************************************************
- VERY EASY
- Nail the tricks the kids yell out
- Tricks will appear on the screen (with button combanations) and you
  must nail them. There is a halfpipe in front of you to work with.

******************************************************************
Get Back At The 5 Frat Boys
******************************************************************
- VERY EASY
- Grind/trick on the frat boys
- Head to the frat boy balcony. The frat boys will have orange arrows
  over their heads. Just grind the ledges next to them, or pop a trick
  by them ~ this one's a piece of CAKE.

******************************************************************
Spine Transfer Over The Wall
******************************************************************
- VERY EASY
- Transfer over the spine/wall and do a few tricks
- First, just transfer over the wall to the left (L2, R2). Go back
  and do it again while poppin' the trick that it says. Repeat!

******************************************************************
Warn The Other Skaters
******************************************************************
- VERY EASY
- Skate near the 4 skaters the cop is going to bust
- There is a red arrow telling you where to go, and there are orange
  arrows over each skater ~ how much easier can it get? Huh?

******************************************************************
Skitch The Professor's Car
******************************************************************
- EASY
- Skitch on the Prof's Car till it makes you stop
- The car is right in front of you. Press up behind it and balance
  just like you were grinding. Eventually, it'll stop and you will
  have completed this goal.

******************************************************************
Grind Down Officer Tom's Banners
******************************************************************
- EASY
- Officer Tom has banners over the city and you gotta grind 'em
  down, 'cause Officer Tom sucks!
- I think there are 7 banners in all. Wallride up the first wall in
  front of you and grind down 4 banners. Turn right and repeat for the
  next 3 and final banners. ~ BAM!

******************************************************************
Stop All Of The Pink Elephants
