    This was the game that got me into the PS2. Hard to explain how good it was at the time.
    For a kid that wasn't really into gaming, I loved this game.

    Definitely the greatest game of all time imo, feel so blessed and grateful that this game was bought for me and my twin brother when we were 2, never got bored of it and completed the career mode hundreds of times over the 17 years we’ve had it. The level designs are legendary in ALL 9 levels, it deserves all the praise and more. Definitely looking forward to a possible remake soon on PS,Definitely the greatest game of all time imo, feel so blessed and grateful that this game was bought for me and my twin brother when we were 2, never got bored of it and completed the career mode hundreds of times over the 17 years we’ve had it.

    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.

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

    Sucessful jump to the next generation, skating was prettier than ever before, with some amazing animations and... well, more of the same, really. You might call revert a revolution but for a casual player I don't think it really meant all that much. Personally I liked levels from thps2 more, but its still great game.

    My favorite game in the Tony Hawk series. Everything is on point here; the graphics, music, and multi-player, with so much content you could easily spend 30+ hours trying to do everything in THPS3. One of the greatest sports games of all time.

    Probablemente el juego más sobrevalorado del PS2, me imagino que en su tiempo fue una obra maestra. Pero aun así, sigue siendo un muy buen juego.

    This game is so good I don’t care if the graphics are a little out dated that doesn’t mean it’s not an amazing game. Definitely recommend if you have a ps2

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is a fantastic game! This game is very fun to play with an awesome career mode and the addition of the Revert.

    Tony Hawk games are very overrated. The games do not stand the test of time and do not belong in the top games of all time list.

    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.

    Very fun and interesting to learn the game. With friends to play this game is a pleasure and secret characters I was very pleased. One of the best parts in the Tony Hawk series and you have to play this part

    Probably one of the greatest sports games in gaming history.
    Tight controls, great music, well designed levels and funny characters.
    I remember how satisfying it was to take my anger out on the triangle button when I failed a trick.

    After the utter failure of a game that came out this year (Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5) I decided to play the original Hawk series to see if the mechanics of the game just hadn't aged well or were simply just outdated. I booted up my PS2 and played this. This game is **** stellar. The music, the level design, the gameplay and the mission structure are amazing. I still love this game even thoughAfter the utter failure of a game that came out this year (Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5) I decided to play the original Hawk series to see if the mechanics of the game just hadn't aged well or were simply just outdated. I booted up my PS2 and played this. This game is **** stellar. The music, the level design, the gameplay and the mission structure are amazing. I still love this game even though it's pushing 15 years of age. The controls were so much better than how I remembered. The multiplayer was so much fun to play with my brother and I'll probably play it more this year. The only flaw with this game is that if you're decent enough at the game, you can finish it under 3 hours, making the initial playthrough rather short. Buy this game instead of it's **** 5th installment.… Expand

    An all-timer PS2 game. I can't forget using Darth Maul or Wolverine listening to the soundtrack while I tried to rip off a perfect score run. I feel like this was the peak of the Tony Hawk franchise, and what a peak it was.

    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.
