    Boring game. All the levels and stages are empty. There is nothing exciting to do. No fun challenge. No interesting gaps. It's a shame for a PS2. Except good quality bonus videos to unlock...

    Good , Not I'm new and you better buy me good ( I got nothin< joke wise.)

    It's good to create girl with that scottish short skirt like my brother but unfortunitly after playing one and two this game dosen't measure up, really its the same thing only you can creat new charaters like fat chicks and urcal rip offs. Course building option offers a little more but still...    Good , Not I'm new and you better buy me good ( I got nothin< joke wise.)

    Dear Critics, you very overhyped this game, this isn't best on the system because Shadow of the Colossus or Final Fantasy X must be on this place. Plus, atmosphere of this game much worse than in THPS2 on Playstation One. Cool graphics and more realistic moves isn't enough for me to call this game the best on Playstation 2.

    If a game was developed by Neversoft between the years of 1999 and 2010, there's a very very big chance I have at least 50 hours playing it. In this case, much more so. While I don't have as much Nostalgia for THPS 3 as I do with titles like Tony Hawk's Underground, I still have my fair share of play time with it. When I was a kid, pretty much the only games I extensively    Picture

    If a game was developed by Neversoft between the years of 1999 and 2010, there's a very very big chance I have at least 50 hours playing it. In this case, much more so. While I don't have as much Nostalgia for THPS 3 as I do with titles like Tony Hawk's Underground, I still have my fair share of play time with it. When I was a kid, pretty much the only games I extensively played and completed more than once were Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero games, especially the Tony Hawk games of the ps2 era which.. is most of them, this one included. Tony Hawk 3 is a fan favorite of the series and is often regarded as the peak of the franchise. While I respect its improvements and love the game to death, I think there are better efforts out there. The levels aren't as iconic as the previous games and the mechanics aren't as fine tuned as games that came after. It's got a hell of a lot to offer, just not as much as some other games in the same franchise. It's still a fantastic game, there's no doubt whatsoever about that. I beat this game in February of 2020 after beating it many times before.    … Expand

    You can combo off of everything in this game. Seriously I mean everything! Cars, people, sidewalks, buildings, rails, ramps, stop signs... The list goes on and on. The funny thing about all this is Neversoft's Highest Score screen shows a high score of 9.4 million. Yes, my jaw dropped too.

    Strikes a perfect balance between new and old and renders the two previous entries in the series almost completely obsolete in the process.

    Once you get used to it, however, tricks will come second nature, and you'll enjoy the view of the humongous levels, which explode in dazzling colors and glorified details.
