Game Overview

Tony Hawk brings you into his world yet again with all-new features that'll have you high flying through Paris, Tokyo, L.A., Canada, and more. Perform hundreds of the raddest tricks and combos in 10 massive, obstacle-filled venues, complete with pedestrians who get in the way and cars that honk and slam on their brakes as you board past them.? ?Again, you can ride using the signature moves of Hawk or any of the 11 pro skaters featured in this release (including Bam Margera of MTV fame). Or you can use the enhanced create-a-skater editor to create customized female or kid skaters; you choose their hair, elbow pads, and even tattoos. A variety of modes let you stick lip tricks, combos, nollies, and manuals, as well as shred like there's no tomorrow. Make your goals and you'll unlock behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Special effects include sparks, blood, real-time weather, and natural disasters. The game's expanded multiplayer modes, skate park editor, and all-new charact...

The Bottom Line

The first 128-bit installment of the award-winning extreme sports franchise, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 features eight massive levels filled with people, traffic, and a multitude of other interactive environments and objects. Smoother animations and significantly improved tricks capture the style of the world's biggest pros, while the game's career mode has been expanded to allow custom characters to be more robust than ever before (with hundreds of different options). Most importantly, however, Tony Hawk 3 is the first online game made specifically for the PlayStation 2; as up to four different players can connect via broadband to participate in some of the most popular skateparks from around the world.

Strikes a perfect balance between new and old and renders the two previous entries in the series almost completely obsolete in the process.

Doesn't only look better; it also offers more realistic and fluid game play, along with a currently unequaled multiplayer mode that will keep gamers coming back for more.

Should go down in history as one of the best twitch-fests on PS2. Yes, TH3 is that good. The perfect skating game remains just a tiny hair's breadth out of reach, but if you are not satisfied with your purchase of this game, head examinations are recommen
