With the PS2 getting all the attention these days, T Hawk 3 on the PSone will probably get overlooked, maybe even written off due to the fact that the O.G. Playstation is an older system. Big mistake--Hawk 3 still packs quite a punch on the original Sony system. New levels, new tricks, fast action, etc. All those qualities are here...my only beef is the create-a-skater option is basically the same as Hawk 2. Other than that, this game rocks, especially the airport level. The music is pretty good too.

I've played Tony Hawks 1,2 and 3 and lots
and lots of other games, but there
is no mach for Tony Hawks 3. It has very good
grafics and the best music and sound effecs.
You wont regret getting this game,
It kicks [butt].

The third installment of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater might have better looks in some areas but really it's just a copy of Tony Hawk 2. I have figured out for almost every pro on this game, there is a con, so, i have created a list of pros and cons for you to tell you what i really think of this game:

1.
Pros: You can choose to skate as Tony or 13 other pro skaters.
Cons: You can't play as Bob Burnquist.
2.
Pros: New and more challenging career mode with 8 massive levels such as Canada and Tokyo to explore.
Cons: Some of the goals are so ridiculousy hard to get, you are sure to get frustrated after a while.
3.
Pros: Create a Skater mode is still optional.
Cons: No new hairstyles or anything is available. Plus, still no option to create female skaters.
4.
Pros: Skate park editor is back and you can choose new styles for your parks.
Cons: No new objects or sizes of parks, plus no new pre-made parks.
5.
Pros: Two-player games still available.
Cons: No new two-player games.

This game is a lot better on PS2 than it is on PS1, but all in all it's a cool game. If u own THPS1 and 2 then i think u might be a littl bit disapointed. Although it's a great game, it's probably not worth [price]. When THPS2 came out it had a lot more to offer than the first one. But, this one isnt quite the jump up that THPS2 was to THPS1. It's pretty much the same as the 2nd one besides the fact that it has Bam in it. But, if u have never owned a Tony Hawk game before then i think this is the perfect one for u to start out with!

When Tony Hawk's Pro Skater just came out on Playstation back in 1999,I bought it and loved it.Then came the much improved Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 which I still play more than any other Tony Hawk game I have.When this came out in October 2001,I bought it and thought it was dissapointing.First of all,it has a big amount of pop up that wasent in THPS1 or 2.That can sometimes confuse you.Plus the loading is slower then the other games in the series,and the levels need to be more interactive and improved.The create a skater isnt anything special because you still cant create female skaters.Plus it needs more new improvements besides new tricks.But on the bright side,its good,clean,fun.The controls work good(athough not as responcive as THPS1 or 2)and multiplayer is a blast to play with a friend or enemy.Also,doing goals through out each level is very addictive,and this game has alot of replay value.But still,it has alot of unusual flaws,but it also has a good side.I would suggest renting this first to see if its the game for you,even for hardcore Tony Hawk's Pro Skater fans.

Let me tell you a thing or two about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. It is an awesome game packed with 8 awesome tracks such as Los Angeles and Canada. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 also has 50 premade parks that you could practice on. This game has awesome skaters such as Tony Hawk or Bucky Lasek. For people who have never tried the Tony Hawk series before I suggest you by Tony Hawk 3 first seeing that Tony Hawk 2 is more challenging. You will get to do action packed competitions and get new tracks as you move along. By this game I know you'll love it!!

This game is even better in graphics than Tony Hawk 1 + 2. You can do over 20 more moves. You can go up elavators to the roofs of buildings. This game is the BOMB!!!

This game is worth buying! If you like skateboarding,
then get this game!. you might want to check
out ebgames or game stop before buying this game.
I bought mine at ebgames for $1.99
it's cheaper that way because you don't have to pay for
shipping. I have tony hawk pro skater 2 for PS1 and i think this one is a whole lot better.
One reason is tony hawk 2 has bad language in the music.
So if you get one that say's E for everyone you don't
have to hear @#$? all the time.
The game has pretty good grafics for being a ps1 game.
You can play as a pro skater or create your own look.
There's a mode you can chose between free skate and
regular mode.
free skate you can do whatever you please but you don't
get any further in the game.
I highly recomend this game!

Purchased game for my playstation wiz kid. He loves all Tony Hawks' games. He now has my 5 yr old playing like a pro! He has all the games. My enjoyment is seeing his enjoyment while playing the games --- he actually does the moves while playing. It is definitely a TREAT!
