Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3

Everything about this game is excellent, except for one aspect: the music. Punk definetly fits here, but i was a little surprised when I read the manual and saw credits from rappers like Redman and Xzibit, and there are at least 2 other rap songs on the soundtrack. The one Gorillaz track is ok, but gangsta rap doesn't belong in a skateboarding game.

Other than that, a very good game. Highly recommended.

THPS3 is the best of the series! If you have a Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, or N64 I strongly recommend this game to you. Do not buy the Game Boy Color version because it's crappy like the rest of th series on GBC. But on all other systems it rules! You can play as any of 10+ diff't skaters and rock the parks with your guy! Or girl in the case of Elissa Steamer, the best one besides Tony himself. The foundry is a good place to start and practice your skills because it has wide ramps, easy halfpipes, and lots and lots of rails. As for the soundtrack, THPS3 boasts a 12-song set of hip-hop, heavy metal, and pop. I especially like Track one,which carries on with Hey, Ho, let's go! A great buy for anyone who loves skateboarding.

This game has everything 1 and 2 dosen't and the create a skater and park editor has been upgraded. If you don't skateboard then you'll probably wind up doing it after playing this game. Also when you get tired playing ypu can just watch skate video's of the world's top pro skaters like tony hawk,Rodney Mullen, Bucky Lasek, Bam Margera,and Many More. Well what im really trying to say is that this game kicks A$$

With excellent levels, great graphics, realistic physics, and more options than ever before, "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" is the best Hawk game yet.

Fun Factor: 5/5

"Who said games are for kids?"

Read my reviews on the other Tony Hawk Pro Skater prequels and sequel(s) as well.

This is the third Tony Hawk game and I have it for Nintendo 64. It has all the skaters from Pro Skater 2(except Bob Burnquist) and it has added a new pro to skate as: Bam Margera! Career mode is basically the same, except instead of buying stat points, you can find them throughout the level. Also, instead of collecting tapes or money, you can find new decks in the level and you have to just beat goals to advance to the next level. Free Skate is basically the same. Gameplay gets a 7.9/10.

The soundtrack is really good. It has Motorhead's Ace of Spades and The Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop. 7.7/10.

Graphics are basically the same as the other Pro Skater games for the Nintendo 64. Donkey Kong 64 and Zelda: Majora's Mask will always have the best graphics on N64. 6.6/10.

OVERALL: This is is a very good game. You need to buy it or rent it. And if you have it, good for you! 8/10.

FINAL RANKING: Pretty good!
