I grew up with this game on the GameCube and it's my favorite to this day. Finally beating it is kinda surreal and very gratifying. The soundtrack took a hit from THPS 3, adding more hip hop and rap (which isn't bad, I just prefer rock and metal), but it's still my second favorite soundtrack so it's not bad at all. The open design is a big improvement over the time limit structure of the first 3. The maps are big and diverse with the same high quality design that the others had.
