    It's the same brilliant game all over again with some new bits. Buy it and be happy.

    If you purposely waited those extra months in hope that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the Xbox would be the definitive version, you made the right choice.

    By playing career mode, players can unlock a new level, which is amazing in multiplayer, and one of the most diverse environments in the game. [Apr 2002, p.83]

    The Xbox version beats the other two in all the right ways.

    From the moment you kick Tony Hawk's 3 into action there’s this overwhelming feeling of perfection.

    Simply more of the same, but better. That's hardly a complaint, though, since that's what we begged for all along. [Apr 2002, p.71]

    The key problem lies in the positioning of the four buttons on the right side of the pad’s upper surface... They are too close together and too hard to distinguish by touch for the precise control THPS3 demands. In fact, it bordered on the unplayable.

I had such a blast playing this game with my friend almost everyday through the summer of 2002.

    the controls are excellent, the music superb, and the levels really fun and interesting. I remember it was really addicting to complete every level with every character - we didn't stop until we'd 100% it.

    The perfect skating simulation: simple, expansive, deep, and exaggerated, what all skating games should be.
