Great Graphics but not a great game same as the old Tony Hawk games.

It great to see people breaking their necks.

Best skating game around.

Whether you're a fan of skateboarding or extreme sports in general, this is by far the best game on the gamecube so far. It certainly was the best release date game. Lots of tricks, mutiple huge levels with multiple tasks, and MANY hidden secrets will equal in hours, days ,weeks, months worth of fun. The controls are easy to figure once you've played for a bit (especially with the tutorial). Beautiful detailed graphics in every stage and on every skater. It's the 1st GAME for the cube. A MUST BUY FOR ALL!

This game had great graphics, exelent levels, and a very fun multiplayer. This was an improvement on the n64 version.

I have to agree with sfalconer, it has really good graphics, but for some reason it is just not the same as the good old Tony Hawk games on the N64! I mean, the Tony Hawk games are my favorite games of all-time, but I just can't enjoy this game as much as the other Tony Hawk games. For one, I just can't get used to the way the controller feels and it is kinda hard to control your skater with the Gamecube controllers. Also, it is harder to do combo tricks because you have to pull of a revert if you wanna keep your trick going and your points higher, which can sometimes be difficult. Some of the tasks in Tony Hawk 3 are really unbelievable (not that all of the tasks you had to perform in the Tony Hawk games are believable, but osme of the things you have to do in this game are ridiculous!). And, disappointingly, the music in this game just plain sucks. In the first Tony Hawk, players were treated to a wide array of pure skater punk music, which was so cool that someitmes I played the game purely to listen to the in-game tunes. The game in the Tony Hawk series mixed some hard rock tunes with some rap, which was cool because I am into hard rock, but it just wasn't the same as the first Tony Hawk's music. And now, with Tony Hawk 3, even though there are a whole bunch more tunes to pick from, you get a whole lotta annoying music that really gets on your nerves after a while (with the Alien Ant Farm song being one of the only exceptions), and I have found myself turning the volume all the way down more often than not. And where is Bob Burnquist? He is my favorite skater and I was so disappointed when I looked through the skaters and he wasn't even there...that really sucks, because he is one of the best, most amazing pro skaters in the world, and it was really fun to play as Bob in the previous two games. Otherwise, the create-a-skater option is awesome. I love the way you can edit just about anything on your skater, and I love the awesome new create-a-skater feature...you can make your own female skater! It's about time, too! Anyways, it's an okay game, but it just lacks something that the other two games has. I think I'll just stick to my N64 T-Hawk games...I can't get enough of those.
