good,great,unbelievable. |
| brian from u.s.a_burbank_illinois says (21/Apr/2003): |
i think that thps3 is a good thrill ride it has great videos oof the hook tricks and cool levels. i really look forward to rodney mullen because he is the godfather of tech and is just crazy good.another thing is the graphics in this game are to good because if you look at games like on sega it was almost an atori but this tony hawk 3 is like true to life.

TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER ROCK'S DUDE |
| violet from 122 quail ridge drive, kyle texas, usa says (8/Jul/2003): |
i love playing thps3, and i have both thps1 and thps2, and i find both number 2 and 3 a smashing good game becouse i like to make a different skatepark and skater every time i play, and to tell you the truth i think there both better then thps1, becouse they(thps2 and thps3) have more cool songs

I cant believe the 'Hawk' let me down! |
| Tha Dude aka Tha Playa from (IM STILL IN)Roach,Beach says (22/Oct/2001): |
'The game like is awesome'.'Its The Best'.I heard those words around the AOL chat by 2 people and i bet they never even played this game if they gave it such great ratings because this game sucks.The trick system is the same exact thing as Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2!Only a few new tricks like about 2 and they suck anyway.And trying to pull of a easy 360 in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 is easy,but in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 a 360 is almost impossible!Mostley every trick is impossible also.The special moves for the top pro skaters are harder to do and its also harder to land in this game!Its almost worse than Tj Lavins Ultiment BMX and THATS bad!Plus the logos are harder to see makeing it more anoying and it has all the original brands Blind,Birdhouse,Hook Ups,Maple and theres only ONE new one.One new one folks!Its great but it dosent matter now!And the new one is Powell which are great boards but in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 every board is the same and all of them suck.Are the levels any better than the first Tony Hawks Pro Skater and the second tony hawk Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2?No way.Well there better than the first Tony Hawks Pro Skater but not the second one!The grinding rails,big air pools,half pipes and every thing else is worse than ever!Whats the difference between Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2?Nothing except the second tony hawk is better.But is there any new features?Oh hellllll nnnooooooo !!!Only a few new specials but there hard as hell to use and there stupid too.The first level in this game is great,the second one sucks,the thrid one is medicore and ther rest get worse and worse and hell dammit' THEY GET WORSE!Waz up?Nothin much.But i thought the there would be some bigger,better half pipes but there the same thing yet worse than before.Wanna skateboard with Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 dude?No.If some one sead this game is good tell them to shut the hell up because this game sucks.Stick to Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 its much better.

Saddened by the let down |
| A gamer from Ship., PA says (1/Nov/2001): |
I got this game yesterday and have since nearly beaten it, this game was a letdown overall. This has unfortunately left to much out there, the game shows unbelievable potential and I would still recommend getting it however more should have been in the game. This not not at all harken back to the point I got THPS2 and was overwhelmed by the things needed to be done. Basically, this game could have been absolutely phenomenal had there been more goals, etc. Instead, this game was simply too short after several hours of playing the 2nd I still felt like I was nowhere this is unfortunate, considering that the game has great playability, better than 1 or 2. Levels like philadelphia in 2 simply are not there, they need more goals, more motivation. I grew to like the mass amounts of things needed in the 2nd and the lack thereof in 3 has simply left me wanting something more. Simply put, 3 set me up to want tons of levels tons of goals with its fantastic gameplay but left me with very little.

what kinda levels are these????? |
| color_contrast from Washington, DC says (2/Nov/2001): |
my friend had played tony hawk 3 at a trade show over the summer and said he couldnt wait to get it.i hope hes still waiting because this game is terrible, first the good, the graphics are alot better and the movements are much much smoother, other than that, the game sucks. Sure the levels are slightly larger than the first 2 games but that doesnt matter if the levels suck. second, i wish we had better skaters to choose from, there are very few new tricks, the levels are very unreal, they are ridiculous and the pedestrians are annoying and obnoxious at best.they shouldve spent less time on the interactiveness of the levels and instead spent time on making them better, more realistic, and more levels.the only good hubba ledges in tony hawk 3 were so small, and compared to the player physics, they felt smaller than curbs.give us something better to skate next time.....and give us josh kalis instead of tony hawk or bucky lasek please.....i mean he has a tv commercial!!!

not impressed |
| Poopstoppa from Yuba City, California says (4/Nov/2001): |
I can't believe it! Tony Hawk #1 was sh*t compared to #2. We all expected #3 to have the same affect on it's prequel, and the idiots at neversoft carelessly dwindled away when they could have been thinking and creating new concepts and ideas to blow away THPS2...I am disappointed. Here is a summary. Intro: GREAT!!! they had to have spent the most time on this. Menu: incredibly boring. looks like neversoft lost their imagination. Skaters: nothing exciting, except BAM!!! but you cant really tell its him. Levels: Pretty good, not so realistic, but fun. Tricks: nothing new to get excited about, the shifty's are pretty fun cause I've always loved that trick, but they should've had those before. Skatepark editor: one change. S-mart instead of school on the themes. Create skater: some changes, nothing special. Soundtrack: awesome soundtrack, maybe 2 songs i dont like. they should have picked a better Del tha funky homosapien song, he has some WAAAAY better stuff. I only liked 2 songs on #2, and none on #1, but i like almost all of them on this one. THe game is good, but pretty much the same as #2, not many changes to anything.

Struggling to come to grips with what I just bought |
| lucifudge from aok hill va usa says (4/Nov/2001): |
Alright, I play THPS2 way too much. I play it with friends at least 6 hours a week. I am a major fan of THPS2, I am gooooood at the game. I get a lot of enjoyment out of pulling 2million point combos. So when I went to the store, dizzy with excitement about THPS3, I thought I was about to experience something on a whole new level. To be fair, and since I am a huge fan of the franchise, THPS3 is good and fresh. The levels have huge potential, and are very interactive. Here is the reason I am let down.....unlike THPS2, this game makes your grind/lip/and manual balance run out about twice as quickly. So instead of looking to see what the next line in my combos are going to be, I have to watch my grind meter, then my manual meter, then back to the grind meter. After 7 hours of play, my high score is only 190,000.....pathetic according to THPS2 standards. I am hoping that this is something I get used to, but if not, I am majorly dissapointed in this

A couple of new tricks, and slightly better graphics! |
| mels from OSLO NORWAY says (14/Dec/2001): |
This game is pretty good, it has some new additions like: New tricks(some pretty cool ones too), Changed Burnquist with Bam Margera, and new levels of course...
But what about Park editor, create a skater.. Nothing new here! (okay a new texture in park editor..but what do I need that for..)
Although this game has a nice gameplay, it's only slightly better than THPS2.. So don't kid yourselves, YOU NEED TO GET THIS ON PS2..
This has some tricky goals in career mode I think. Which is good of course, only this one thing in the Canada level seem to be out of my reach to figure out:
"NOSEGRIND OVER THE TREE"
PLEASE, IF ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS ONE, PLEASE MAIL ME, AND LET ME KNOW!!
All in all, a good game. Only the PS2 version is so much better!!!!!!!!!1

IT'S OK BUT NOT THE BEST FOR PS1 |
| Kasper Jones from Santabarbara, Cali USA says (17/Dec/2001): |
The game is definetly better than tony hawk 1 and 2 in graphics in levels and moves (exept for the fact that they got rid of the impossible for almost all the skaters!), but the control isn't any where near perfect. The levels are cool. And since Bam is in it, you know it's gonna have a jackass twist to the game. The special move called THE JACKASS is pretty slick. But unfortunetly, Bam Margera looks nothing like himself in this game. The videos are cool, and the new specials are way better. If you have a PS2 buy the game for that. X BOX, even better. Il gave the game 8 stars because it's adictive and fun, but anyway, better luck next time Neversoft.

This is for the guy who thinks burnquist is in the game |
| Joe from Baltimore, MD, USA says (29/Dec/2001): |
Bob burnquist is NOT in the game, Bam Margera is from a TV show called Jackass (hence the jackass flip trick in the game), In fact he is even called the "skating jackass" in the game. It amazes me how people post things in discussion boards that have no idea what they are talking about, and as for you who knows so much about skating, you should know that it is not a nickname for Burnquist, Im not even really that much of a skating fan, just a fan of Tony Hawk Pro Skater, but I know that they are not the same person. As for the game, it is incredible, it may not have as many levels as most of us would have liked, but it is completely customizable, has tons of new tricks (that you can set for any skater), the music is great and it is a lot of fun to play. I have the PS2 version, but ive seen the psone version and i liked it just as much, Im not sure how long this game is gonna last, but i know in tony hawk 1, im still able to find enjoyment out of it so im sure this game is gonna go a long way. These games keep on getting better. I give it a 9 out of 10 (the PS2 version gets a 10)

All of you who doubt the greatness of THPS3 must have your heads stuck up your butss |
| Geoff from Virginia says (22/Jan/2002): |
I played Tony Hawk. I played Tony Hawk 2. And now I am playing Tony Hawk 3, the greatest of the bunch. What really bugs me about some of the post is that the can't land the tricks, or can't land 360's. I could land fricken 900's before the end my first day with the game. And I wasn't very good at the first 2 games either, so don't think I'm some kinda wizard at this game. But it's not hard. In fact I think the grind meter helps a WHOLE lot. I used to fall and fall again on the old ones because I couldn't judge how close I was to falling. But now I can look at the mter and adjust. And the whole revert thing was a huge add-on. It helps out tricks tremendously because you can go pull a 720 Boneless+melon and get 25,000, revert-manual, go and grind for a while and combine a lotta grinds and flip tricks and get like 250,000. And the levels are great. Awesome graphics, some secret areas, a lotta detail made them very good. But I do wish they had more real parks because they need a venice beach on here. But besides that, this game is perfect. The people griping about a lack of new tricks must not have played the game because there are a bunch of new ones, like the special manuals. Anyway, go buy this game, especially if you have a PS2, like me.

Tony Hawk 3 for PSX |
| The Big Hit from RTS says (1/Feb/2002): |
Why is everyone reviewing this as it is such a great game?I have all 3 Tony Hawk Pro Skater Playstation games,and this is the worst(Number 2 was the best).At first you will want to cheak out some of the new tricks.But after awhile they get old!The sounds and visials are worse.Terrible graphics and an anoying soundtrack can distract you at times.The controls dont seem as responcive as the other Tony Hawk games,and the goals you have to complete are really boring goals,unlike the other Tony Hawk games.I suggest you should all stay away from this game.Shame on Activision for makeing this crap.

Just OK |
| A gamer from Oswego New York USA says (18/Apr/2002): |
I played tony hawk for game cube and i loved it. So i decided i would try the one for PSone, and to say the least i was saddly dissapointed. The levels are nothing like game cubes and and the things you have to get for each level are not as much fun. It is a some what fun game but i beat it in a day and that is really bad. I would suggest you buy a game cube and get tony hawk 3 you will be very happy.

Best Game I've Ever Played |
| Andrew from London, England says (20/Apr/2002): |
Tony Hawk 3 is quite easily the best game I've played yet. The graphic quality was incredible, the sound was alright, the gameplay is never the same twice, and it was very much different from the other Tony Hawk's. Cheers to Neversoft and everyone who helped make this legendary skating game!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Rocks! |
| Kid Paintballer from Jacksonville, Florida, USA says (26/Apr/2002): |
THP3 is very cool I haven't beaten it yet but im on the 3rd to last level and I have completed all the goals in the levels before this one. There's not much to say about this game that has all ready not been said and that is that It's a great game!

THPS3 |
| GAME MASTER from Denver,Colorado says (13/May/2002): |
This game may seem hard, but if you you the few codes that do work and beat the game a few times it gets more fun. A down side is the jetpack code is available like in THPS2, but as you get further in the game it gets better, the graphics and level detail make up for it. The grab moves, (buttons requiring using circle,) are MUCH better and there is a larger selection, but you can't get many codes to work without beting the game one time through. (you get a new code every time you beat it, which may be activated in the CHEATS menu.) So if you wan't all the cheats instantly, find the cheat for THPS2 and use it, because there is none for THPS3. Happy Gaming!!!

Is this an Extension of Tony Hawk 2? |
| Alex from Concord NH USA says (24/Jul/2002): |
I got this on accident from ebay. I decided to keep it. I loved TH2...Then I got a PS2. The graphics and play are the same as TH2. I went to check out the Park editor....it is practically the same. Other than a few different levels it is the same as TH2. TH3 is cool to pick up cheap if you liked TH2. Dont get too excited though.....It is nothing like the PS2 version.

Tony Rocks |
| Dude from New York says (18/Nov/2002): |
One of the best games I played in a long ass time. The tricks are better then ever and the worlds are awesome. Now we can create girls and guys. If you don't have this game, You must get it.

It's freakin' zajebiœcie cool people |
| Peter from Gdynia, Poland says (20/Oct/2003): |
I like the third one very much, the tricks availible are great, and the sights are awesome. Best map: airport with long distance calls :) its just great pipol... I think that the music in thps3 is better than in 2(havent seen thps1), it rox. Graphics are great, but there are some bugs with the sounds, after some time of playing, I can't here sounds of the board, only music and viewers. cu

Been there, Done that! |
| Jed browning from Maricopa A,Z says (20/Jan/2002): |
Don't get me wrong the game is cool, but 4 ps1 its the same as 1 and 2. I would rather have it on ps2 because it has more detail put into to it. For example the blood when someone falls, and all u have to do when u put in cheats is go to options and type it in. For ps1 u have to beat the game with a certain person, thats what sucks!
