Once you've got the base down, you can decorate your skater with different shirts, pants, shorts, shoes, socks, helmets, pads, glasses, hats, tattoos, watches, bracelets, and more. In create-a-skater, you can select different faces, skin tones, hairstyles, heights, and weights.
The create-a-skater and create-a-skate park modes have also been expanded quite a bit this time around. Replacing Bob is Bam Margera, perhaps most famous for his dad-beating antics on MTV's "Jackass" and his self-produced CKY videos. Bob Burnquist, who was in the first two games, is not in Tony Hawk 3, as he has jumped ship over to Konami's PS2 skateboarding game. The roster hasn't changed much this time around-still on board are Steve Caballero, Kareen Campbell, Rune Glifberg, Eric Koston, Bucky Lasek, Rodney Mullen, Chad Muska, Andrew Reynolds, Geoff Rowley, Elissa Steamer, Jamie Thomas, and of course, Tony Hawk. Like the previous Tony Hawk game, THPS3 features a collection of professional skaters. As the series has progressed, it has gotten more and more combo-friendly, conceivably allowing you to continually do one string of tricks around the entire level, lasting the entire length of your two-minute run. The game isn't exactly the most accurate simulation of skateboarding in the world, as it has some pretty outrageous physics and lets you get away with things that make Tony Hawk's much lauded 900-degree spin look commonplace by comparison. As you accomplish these goals, which range from simple score targets to more difficult skateboard trickery of the "how the heck am I supposed to get all the way up there" variety, more levels are opened up. The GameCube version may be less jaggy than the original PS2 release, but its lack of online multiplayer and somewhat sketchy frame rate keep it from living up to its full potential.įor those of you new to the series, the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games put you on a skateboard and in a level with goals to accomplish.
But if you own both a GameCube and a PlayStation 2, the choice isn't so clear. If you don't own a PS2, getting this version of the game is a no-brainer-it's easily one of the GameCube's strongest launch games.
The GameCube version of the insanely popular skateboarding game is here, and it retains almost everything that made the PS2 version so incredible. Players who held off on getting the PlayStation 2 version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 in hopes of receiving a better version for the GameCube need not wait any longer.
