• Introduces spine-transfers/level-outs, wallplants and powerslides.
• The PC version does not have the ‘dropdown’ grind trick much like the Xbox port it’s based on, only the PS2 version does.
• Online modes ‘Control Zone’ and ‘Keep Away’ from Pro Skater 3 have been removed in order to make space for Score Challenge, Combo Mambo and Goal Attack.
