Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 (GC)

The recent months leading up to Christmas have been exceedingly painful on the wallets of PS2 owners. Just one look at the shelves of your local Games shop will have you smiling from ear to ear. SSX Tricky, Grand Theft Auto 3, Pro Evolution Soccer……so it’s quite likely that the last thing you and your bank balance need to hear is that there’s yet another PS2 title out there demanding to be purchased.

That’s right, ...  Read the complete review

This was the Tony Hawk game which defined the franchise and made the game so popular. Alhought my favourite was 4, this is a close second. With some good graphics and some sweet moves too this is definately a close second. you play through the game by creating your own character, which throughout the game you can upgrade and improve on his stats. You learn new tricks throughout the game which are your specials. The game has lots of small little challenges I suppose which are part the story. Where you have to string together tricks, beat high scores, time trials, collect items etc. There is lots of variety and differing levels of difficulty so is a good game ...  Read the complete review

** INTRODUCTION ** Well I'm sure most of you guessed already that this is the third in the series of Tony Hawk games that have appeared across many platforms. Now the game has made it to the next gen console and the improvements are huge. Being such a busy man I don't really get much time to play in depth story led games so most the ones I actually do buy are of the quick fix type. THPS 3 is in a way just right, it's challenging and has plenty to do but even though the longevity is very high it can be played in short bursts. ** GAMEPLAY ** You get the choice of four main modes of play to begin with. Firstly the all ...  Read the complete review
