    This is a fun game if you want to mess around with or without your friends. Also mess around on your skateboard by doing Hall of Meats S.K.A.T.E and other fun mini games

    It's fun to free skate, but challenges feel repetitive. If you have a lot of friends with this game, it becomes a ton of fun online. However by yourself, it just becomes a time killer when you are bored with your other games. I can't say a single bad thing about graphics or audio quality, however the music selection could of been better.

    This game is fun to play with many great features. Graphics and audio effects are great too. I think skate 3 is most realistic skate game now in market. But big minus is that game gets boring and repetitive.

    Theres not much that's as fun as grabbing a wooden plank, throwing some wheels on it, riding it down a steep hill and launching yourself off it at a stupidly dangerous speed and hitting your head of a lamppost, and tumbling down a set of stairs while knocking down everyone in your way.

    Also watching your poor skeleton disintegrate during the process is an added bonus.

    Fun game, not too much substance however.    … Expand

    skate 3 is a very good game and a massive improvement on the previous titles. The game is very fun , especially for skaters, with a wide range of challenges and pro's to compete against. some aspects of the game can become repetitive, but the majority of the game is great with plenty of different challenges such as the Hall of Meat Challenges or the many deathraces.

    Skate 3 is more of the same in regard to its predecessor. While the gameplay is still fun, nothing has really changed. Multiplayer is still fun, albeit the connection is not good.

Well this is exactly what I was talking about when I said that. This is a game that does not get old after 10 minutes. It has a fairly large world, it has CUSTOM LEVELS that you can easily create (that you can do interesting stuff with unlike Goat Simulator's custom levels), and there's more to the game than failing. Although failing is the most fun part, there are still really cool tricks you can do, sick trick competitions, and customizing characters (or at least I like doing that). Anyway this game is seriously entertaining, seriously funny, and seriously random and it does all of those things right which is why it gets 6/8 from me.… Expand

    THIS GAME HAS SOOO MANY GLITCHES!!! But it is amazing in my opinion. The reason why I gave it an 8 was because of the graphics and the lack of free online DLC. Come on people. We need free DLC or at least DLC for $1.99. But this is rediculous. $6.99 for DLC!!! WOW!!!

    Not quite a masterpiece, but a very solid skating game that'll keep you grinding for a long while.

    Skate 3 was, to me, the last of the great Skateboarding game craze that lasted about 10 years. I don't have much to say about this one other than it's just more of what you love, assuming you're a fan of Skate games.

I also feel like Skate 2 is more refined, despite having a couple less features. Skate 3 is famously a rushed glitch fest.

    If you like Skate games, you've already played this one so there's no reason to recommend it to you. If you haven't tried the Skate games, check them out. They're all worth playing through.
    I beat this game in February of 2020 after beating it many times before.    … Expand

    This latest chapter improves on virtually every aspect of its near-flawless fundamentals, while delivering more modes, missions, and multiplayer components, proving to fans that its days of resting on its laurels aren't here quite yet.

    The true narrative of this game is the journey of slow, dogged, satisfying improvement that you'll travel as you work the ineffable rhythms of the board into your fingers.

    While this latest title doesn't take any huge risks, I would argue that's a good thing. Skate has always been one of those rare games where you can just aimlessly play with no goals or objectives.
