Never have I seen the likes of this game. I played all the Tony Hawk games. I was really sad in Tony Hawk 2x. It was ok. I played Tony Hawk 3 on my Playstation and when I played it, I knew the X-Box version would just be something tou could never think of. With the Internet connection and Bam Margera in the mix this game would be the best skateboard game right now.

Awesome....

The game is simply awesome!

And those who think that the XBOX controller is too big need to wait until they can cross the street by themselves and stick with the systems designed for kids.

Xbox controller??

Hey, if you don't like the controller that comes with the Xbox, you can always get the japanese one. And they're releasing the japanese one in the US in may. So quit complaining, and just admit that you have a PS2, don't feel like paying for an Xbox and that's the only reason you're complaining.

THE BEST TONY HAWK GAME THERE EVER WILL BE!!!

Tony Hawk 1 was a classic, I wish they would make it for Xbox....But Tony Hawk 3 is the best. I have played this game over and over and never get tired of it. You do everything on a skateboard on 3, unlike Underground which I dont care much for. The career levels are great with different scenery everytime. Over all this game is a must have for any gamer or skater....

Many people think...

a skateboarding game? Do a few tricks, but it's just riding around! Those people probably never played Tony Hawk. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for Xbox has an extra Cruise Ship level. If you aren't used to these controls, a big tutorial will help. It features Tony Hawk's voice in the tutorial! Many games that have the following traits usually don't change much through the series:
-Non Action/Adventure category series
-Endorsed by pro of sport
-Yearly release
Tony Hawk is one of these but it changes quite a bit unlike EA Sports titles and those type. EA Sports charges 50 bucks for a remake that barely ever changes. If looking for a fun game, this is yours.
And there is Tony Hawk 1 for Xbox. For that, get Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X. Both 1 & 2.

Best game ever!!!

This will truly be the best game on any console. Not only will it have brand new levels it will also have new features just for xbox. Believe me it will be worth the wait.I have really benn waiting for a trony hawk game on the box but nothing was available except 2x.No thanks I would rather get totally new game then just a remake of previos games. Tony Hawk 3 on xbox will be the #1 game.

Bigger and Badder then Before!!!

With each new Tony Hawk release comes higher expectations. Tony Hawk 3 met and exceeded those expectations. More eye-boggling special tricks were added as well as the essential Revert trick, which, like the all powerful Manuel, allows players to link tricks together and create HUGE comboes for maximum points. Bigger, more realistic looking levels are just BEGGING to be tricked on. The variety of multiplayer modes will give you and your buds hours and hours of entertainment. Create-a-Park and Create-a-Skater are included again, and have been much improved. Not having to buy tricks or stats (stats have to be FOUND instead), and also being able to outfit your character a LOT more thoroughly makes for a much more innovative gaming experience. Being able to listen to your own music instead of being forced to listen to the game's music can make playing more enjoyable. Ollie, the Magic Bum from THPS2 is a playable character!

There were only a few aspects of the game that I didn't particularily like. The first one is the fact that most of the soundtrack for the game wasn't very good. It was just too mainstream. The other thing I didn't like was that on Create-a-Park, there was a limit to the number of gaps you could make. Something that other people may not like is the control sceme. If you think about it, it's VERY similar to how the N64 controller worked with the Tony Hawk games. It might take a little getting used to, but the controls are fine. If you still don't like the controller, I suggest for you to consider buying the new, smaller, easier button pressing controller made by Microsoft. It's called CONTROLLER S.

Avoiding ending on some bad notes I will simply say this: If you are an Xbox owner or are thinking of being one, then you NEED to get this game.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 stands tall as one of the best console games out there. Expect to see Tony Hawk 4 on all three "next-gen" platforms this holiday season!!!

This game is really good. I am on the Tokyo level and I am trying to beat that and getting very close. The levels that I have played are very interactive and big. The controller is not to big, and I would know cuz I am thirteen but very small for my age and the controller fits MY hands perfectly. Buy this game if you have played and liked or loved the previous Tony Hawks.........

A very good game

This game is excellent. It's controls are close enough to the original that experienced players will have an immediate handle on it, but the new "revert" allows increased options from THPS 2. For inexperienced players, the game has a very good tutorial.
In response to comments that this game is a copycat of the PS2 version, it's not. It's the same game. They were made at the same time. They were originally scheduled for release at the same time. However, because XBox is a newer system than PS2, programmers are still experimenting with programming styles for its games. XBox's increased power also allowed programmers to create more polygons per second in the game (thus increasing graphics quality). These two factors delayed the game's release. This game was not made by Microsoft or Sony, but by Treyarch and Neversoft, the same people who made the original THPS for N64, PSX and DC and Tony Hawk two for the same systems plus PS 2. The later release is not an issue of Bill Gate's lack of creativity and idea theft from PS 2, but rather the increased power of the XBox and programmer's relative inexperience with it compared to PS 2. I, too, have played the PS 2 version and prefer the XBox version because of it's smooth flow without slowdowns.

If you're not a Tony Hawk fan, you'll still like the game!
