The reason this works so well is because there is no more cash in the game – you collect stat points and decks directly, and you unlock new special trick slots periodically as you beat levels.Īnother thing that changed is how dynamic those levels are. In Pro Skater 3, everything can be done from the menu between levels! That’s a huge upgrade. In my Tony Hawk 2 review, I talked about how I would beat the whole game without ever upgrading my stats – and the reason for that, aside from the extra challenge, is because I didn’t want to sit through all the load times.
There isn’t nearly as much wasted time as earlier entries. Pro Skater 3 is a really tight experience. After 3, there are cutscenes and videos all the time, and you don’t really want to sit through that stuff too much.
Stuff like this bumps up the replay value, and I would say that this is the most replayable Tony Hawk game in the series. The locations of the SKATE letters are also changed based on the type of skater you pick. Knowing that you’re starting out with stats that are more geared toward one style more than the other, you’ll be given different objectives – like doing a cannonball over the vert ramp versus doing a 50-50 on TC’s rail in the Foundry. Another new thing is the different goals for vert and street skaters. These things fit pretty well in the Tony Hawk universe without having to really mess with the style of the games. It’s pretty cool, because it opens up some new options for challenges, like stopping the pickpockets at the airport and impressing the other skaters in Canada. So far, the only other moving things on screen were cars, and a bull. There’s more vertical depth to the levels, and there are more characters on screen. I think that’s why so many people say this game is their favorite – It’s got classic gameplay, but nice, upgraded graphics. But Tony Hawk 3 is a good balance between the old style of Tony Hawk games and the new style. You still need to find and collect things, but that becomes less important in future games. Everything links with everything else, and it’s more about hitting as many buttons as you can while keeping your balance meter centered. The level design from here on out will be more hands-off. Being able to link tricks from transition to street is big change, and it marks a new direction in the series. This makes a huge difference in the gameplay. This always has the potential to ruin the series, kind of like the new engine for Project 8 did. So with the new hardware, the engine of the game was remade, and Neversoft made quite a few changes and upgrades. But I’m also going to be taking a look at the PS1 version too – which I never bothered with back in the day since I had a PS2. So if you’ve got the choice, go with the Xbox.

There’s also surround sound and 480p resolution. For Pro Skater 3, there’s a bonus oil rig level, and you can check that out in my impressions video I put up. The graphics are better, there are more effects, and there’s usually some kind of bonus. For this whole generation of games, the Xbox version is better.
But I’m actually going to be playing the Xbox version for this review. When Tony Hawk 3 came out on PS2, I got it the day it came out, just like millions of other people.
