This review is kind of the Gamecube version, but I played the Playstation2 version, which is the best out of all 4 consoles (PS2, GC, Xbox, PC). This one has excellent graphics, the all new revert trick to add continutation to vert tricks. And the uniqueness of the Playstation2 one out of Gamecube and Xbox's version is that this one has online play. The main consumer will not be able to go online with this until August 2002. Since the release of it, the online was working. You need to buy a ethernet hub that connected to your DSL/Cable modem that will go into the Playstation2 USB ports. The online play is really fun. You can play Trick Attack mode against the hottest skaters in the United States, and represent where you at! (Yeah New York!) You can also play up to 2-8 players online at anytime. Configuration is very easy too. The offline mode is rather easy to veteran Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 players. They subtraction of the money collection makes it much more simpler than the PSone versions. The collection of SKATE is present as ever. You can still collect new decks, but you can't earn them, you have to find them. Since the game is so high-tech, you have to interact with peole who are in the area, just like in Dave Mirra's Pro BMX 2 for PS2. There are 8 levels in the game. When you complete the final level, you get a hidden level called "Cruise Ship". If you beat the game, you get cheats. Every time you complete the game, you get more goodies. You can also unlock 3 classic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 levels which have been revamped for the console. "Warehouse", "Burnside", and "Roswell" are present in the game. There is a revamped Create-A-Character, which let you be more involved with your character. There is a Create-Your-Own-Skatepark feature just like THPS2. It isn't really updated, so I don't really use it. Our favorite, the DVD skate movies are present in the option menu. You can collect even more and better videos than THPS2. There is a personal, 2 minute video for every pro skater featured, showing them doing tricks, and telling about their lives. There is my personal favorite, 4 all new, never before seen bail videos. They have videos of Kelly Slater, for Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer, Neversoft skate-boarders and others. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is must have extreme sports game until Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is being released...

Bravo, grandfather of skating

This game is by far the best of the Tony Hawk series. Great graphics, not overly hard, yet challenging. What more could you want? How about a slew of darn good skaters, including's Jackass's own Bam Margera. This game is essential to anyone who has a PS2. Great soundtrack too.

This is the third time we went to the skatepark !

If many of you have read my Tony Hawk 2 review, you probably already know by now that I hate skateboarding because of its uncontrollable hype. What I also said in that review, is that I like the THPS series a lot. Well, enough with the past ! That was months ago ! This is now ! Months ago, I've overheard from gamers that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is about to come out, and the more I heard, the more I got excited. When I finally got a chance to see the first screens on several magazines, I was thinking about how well it would play when it releases. Finally, in the month of November, it finally saw the light of day on the PlayStation 2 game console. I got the chance to play it, and boy, I wasn't disappointed. Everything that I've come to expect in a Tony Hawk game, is all here. Good graphics, beautifully done soundtrack, improved skating physics, one good additional character (Bam Magera from the Jackass series) and perfect gameplay balance. The graphics are the best I've seen in years. This is the kind of eye candy you just can't throw away. Perfectly polished enviroments, nicely modeled characters, and streaming blood are something cool to look at. The controls are identical to that of the previous THPS games, but with new moves and a high extension of combos to pull out. Plus new codes are there for your skating pleasure. Not to mention, cool characters. Darth Maul is one of them (remember that freaky black and red dude from Star Wars Episode 1 ?). If you highlight Darth Maul, the skateshop owner will be choking by his force grab. The physics truly make sense. It shows that the skater can't always bail by hitting the ground with your back or the rest of your body. You can bail by landing on your feet. And if you're tired of seeing blood just fly and disappear from your mouth, you get to see blood streaks on the street each time you fall and drag your face on the concrete. OUCH !!! If you skaters or skater haters out there want a skateboarding game that makes more sense than its last two prequels, get Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. This is no doubt, the best skateboarding game for the PS2. The new Gamecube owners should not feel discouraged, because pretty soon, Tony Hawk 3, will be coming to the Gamecube at the launch day of the system. To the gamers who already have the game, enjoy yourself and skate on !

Best Game for PS2 to Date!

Fans of Tony Hawk 1 & 2 will most certainly become severly addicted to this new addition to the series. The Tony Hawk series has become better than ever with outstanding levels, new tricks, some new characters and the same stuff from 1 & 2 that made it great. The gameplay is the same and as fun as ever. The graphics are awesome and the fact that the levels are "living" was an interesting touch on the game. The only downside to the entire game would probably be the soundtrack. The soundtrack for 1 & 2 were awesome but the soundtrack on this one is not nearly as good. But a great game regardless. Buy it!

awesome game

Neversoft did it again, after all the other companies tried to throw their hats in the game and make one based on Skateboarding the daddy of them all come correct and shows them how it should be done. This game is tight!!!! worth the money no doubt, if you enjoyed the first two then the 3 will definately rock you like the proverbial hurricane, the one thing I will say is keep doing it neversoft. Your killing em...

great game

If you wanna buy good games, then this one should be #2 on your list (#1: GTA 3 (Grand Theft Auto 3). It has good graphics, good gameplay, and good button configuration. this game guarentees at least one month of fun, and it has a built-in Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder demo. If you play this game, you'll be swept away.

Pros:
1) Good Graphics
2) Good Gameplay
3) Good Create - A - Player
4) Cool Levels.

Cons:
1) A little bit repetitive
2) A little hard to beat at some points.

Better than the rest

Activision has come a long way since the first Tony Hawk game. The game itself is awesome with the graphics and the controls. I thought the levels were limited in number but big in size. The objectives were good and gave a chalange the first time around but after playing the game after a while i got realy easy. The costom skater is great they have no limit to what you can do with it. Great 2 player and it will eventually be able to go online.

getting worse

The levels on this game[stink]. Defentaly not made for real skaters!
if it wernt for the park editor this game would be worthless.

on the plus side, almost all the tricks look really good.
(still havent fixed backside tailslides though!!!!!)

lots of easy access options too. you can edit tricks and stats during your run.
take your stats all the way down for maximum realism.
