Product 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 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). Things are a little on the chunky side graphically, but that's to be expected. Regardless, the animation is smooth and the frame rate stays high despite the enormous and complex environments this game lets players explore. The eclectic soundtrack--which features acts ranging from the Ramones to Del the Funky Homosapien--is another highlight, but it's still the Zenlike feeling you get from chaining together combo after outrageous combo that keeps you coming back for more. --T. Byrl Baker Note: This text refers to the PlayStation version of the game. Pros: - Smooth animations
- Revert adds vert combos to the game
- Enormous skate areas
Cons: - No option to create female players

Alright I am a skater fan and everyting, and I own every tony hawk game on N64 PSX and PS2. Tony hawk 3 is a cool game, dont get me wrong, but it could have been better. The tricks and Graphics were improved, but the skate park stuff was mostly the same. I beat the game in 2 hours max. Its a cool game though, Like I said. But I believe its better on PS2l8r dude
 Very cool! September 28, 2002

I own Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 for the N64, but nothing ever prepared me for such a great game as this one! It's awesome and I don't regret spending the money for it at all. The graphics are tapped up a notch (in my opinion anyway) and the all new Revert is outstanding for major combos! The revert was kind of confusing at first, but that's my only complaint so far. It still has a few of the funny glitches from THPS 2, but they don't really hurt the games overall score any for me. The levels are cool and large as well. Sadly, no living people or cars like in the other console versions of the game. And it should have a lot of replay value for all of those who have friends who like the game (or siblings)because the 2-Player modes are off the hook! I loved this game and it is one of the best for the N64. In my opinion, it gets 5 out of 5 stars easily.
WOW! September 11, 2002

This is the best game of skateboarding ever! The levels, graphix, sound, and music are all awsome! You even get to skate in an airport, on a cruise ship (all over it) and in a facility! BUY IT NOW! This is one game you simply can't afford to miss!
