Manufacturer's Description

They say the third time's a charm, but what if everything was 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. Difficult as it is to believe, Pro Skater 3 introduces enough new features and great skate parks to make it another must-buy.

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). And once again, Tony comes with plenty of variety, including a wide selection of skaters (including Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Rodney Mullen, Chad Muska, and Elissa Steamer) and a slick soundtrack (featuring the Ramones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Motorhead, KRS-One, and Redman).

4.0 out of 5 stars I like this game. but not the lyrics and the nosebleeding..., October 18, 2002

Just like the name this is a cool skateboarding game(Sport game). And I suppose you'll wonder why this game is rated `Teen' instead of `E'. Well, I'll explain this later but first I have to say this is an cool game.

If you seen on TV people do cool tricks with their boards and you probally want to try those tricks least once(even if you don't know how to spell `skate'-just a joke). This game can grant that wish in a few days(or few hours). control in this game is simple than you think. you can almost do some extreme tricks if you just memorize about 7~8 keyboard keys. So you can do some massive combo tricks quite easily. Which is very cool to look at. And map creater and the skater editor keeps the fun from escaping.
And the places you skate are places that you want to skate for real(Want to skate at a airport?). And there are goal you have to achived to get other stages(which is very challenging and it's more than just doing skateboard tricks.)

BUT.... this game has some downsides that parents should consider before purchasing this game to kids.
The songs in the game are good, but the lyrics are well...uh about bad things. And when your skater gets a good hit on the ground they get a nosebleed(leaves some blood on the ground). The amount of the blood is not much but it doesn't disappear unless you quit game. And some more contents may not be right for young children. So I guess these thing made this a `T' rated game. but except those things the game is fine.

And if you have PS2 try THPS4.

THSP 3 is another great addition to the THPS line. With enhanced multiplayer modes like Graffiti, Trick Attack, King of the Hill, and Slap!. Career "checklist" changes for what trick style your skater has. A better create-a-skater to change gender, height, and change more about the pros. They took out Bob Burnqust(I think that's how you spell it) and added Bam Margera. You can do different combos like double and triple kickflips, heelflips and impossobles. You don't win money, but, like in #1, there are stat points and new decks. There are many more special tricks to choose from, also. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the skate park editor is really a step backwards. There are not as many options as THPS 2. Regardless, this is a great game!
