Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

They say the third time's a charm, but what if everything was already done right the first and second time around? That's the hurdle Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 faces, as previous entries in this series are regarded by most gamers as perfect. But difficult as it is to believe, Pro Skater 3 introduces enough new features and great skate parks to make it another must-buy for PlayStation owners.

The biggest addition this time around is the revert, which when combined with the manual introduced in the previous game lets players string together some amazing vert and grind combos. Once again, every ledge you see in the game is grindable, and the massive levels are packed with switches, hidden areas, and other secrets that will take months to fully explore (and exploit).

Things are a little on the chunky side graphically, but that's to be expected with the PlayStation. Regardless, the animation is smooth and the frame rate stays high despite the enormous and complex environments this game lets players explore. The eclectic soundtrack--which features acts from the Ramones to Del tha Funky Homosapien--is another highlight, but it's still the Zen-like feeling you get from chaining together combo after outrageous combo that keeps you coming back for more. --T Byrl Baker



Product Description

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 delivers realistic, cutting-edge graphics, action-packed gameplay, seamless video cinematic sequences and crisp special effects. The game extends beyond the boundaries of the traditional skateboarding genre by setting players in living environments that evolve. Players can choose to skate through realistic urban settings complete with pedestrians, cars, traffic accidents, natural disasters and changing weather conditions. Players go high flying through some of the hottest skating locales in the world, including Skaters' Island in Middleton, Rhode Island, Rio, Los Angeles, Canada, Tokyo, and Paris. Fluid animations let gamer pull off hundreds of combo moves and tricks including nollies, manuals and lip tricks using the franchise's signature solid control scheme.

Elevating the game's overall excitement, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 delivers a star-studded line-up of skateboarding pros that join Tony Hawk, including new-to-the-roster Bam Margera of MTV's Jackass fame, and returning riders Steve Caballero, Rune Glifberg, Eric Koston, Bucky Lasek, Rodney Mullen, Chad Muska, Andrew Reynolds, Geoff Rowley, Elissa Steamer and Jamie Thomas. Additionally, fans can create their own skateboarding idols and personalise their skaters with glasses, hair, armbands and tattoos. The game's expanded multi-player modes increase re-playability for the ultimate in skateboarding fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hit for Tony Hawks, 18 Jan 2002
After playing THPS2 for hours on end i was eagerly awaiting the release of the next game in which i hope is an ongoing series.
I wasn't disappointed at all. With 9 fantastic new levels and an all new gap checklist to do to complete the game, a superb soundtrack and excellent graphics and gameplay THPS3 is every bit as good(if not better) than the previous two.
If your reading this because you are undecided as to whether or not to buy this game then i suggest that you stop dithering and get out your credit card NOW. It provides hours of fun and is one of the most enjoyable and challenging games you are likely to play.
Now i have completed the entire game i for one can't wait for Thps4..... Bring it on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 (PLAYSTATION), 20 Jan 2002
By S. GALE (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tony Hawks 3 is a good game and for the playstation the graphics are pretty good, after playing the ps2 version I have realised that the menu is slightly different but it is near enough the same, you can choose from the usual band of skaters, including Tony Hawk, Rune Clifberg and many others.
The object of the game is to go around the massive levels, and complete challenges, (called tapes in previous versions) such as get a maximum number of points or pick up something from around the level, dont be excited if you thought that people would walk around, that is in the PS2 version, the revert and the manual help you to get massive combos and do the point challenges easily.
The park editor is fairly basic, basically just the tony hawks 2 version with a few more options. The custom skater option is fairly good, even though I think there could be a few more options. The 2 player has trick attack, horse, tag and graffitti, you can also use the custom parks on 2 player. The game runs fast enough on the old playstation but the arms are still a bit chunky. I would recommend this to anybody who forgot to get a PS2 for christmas as it is better than thps2 or matt hoffmans pro bmx.
If you have got a ps2 ignore all this and read a ps2 version review as it will include better thoughts and graphics.

IF YOU CAN'T GET A PS2 BUY IT, OTHERWISE GET THE PS2 VERSION AND GTA3 WHICH IS A GREAT GAME.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absoloutley amazing!, 8 Dec 2001
By Skater (Wales) - See all my reviews
This is one amazing game! It has great graphics, gameplay to die for and some great sound. The only problem I found with the PSone version is that there are no people walking about, which I was really looking forward to. The levels, as alway are huge, and can take a while before you know what is where, and where to do the big combos. Once again, Neversoft and Activision have created a absoloute masterpiece of a game. Buy it now and prepare to play one of the final great Psone games.
