Outlaw Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I just go Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and it is just about as good a game as they come. The graphics and tricks of the game has been increased, along with the speed. The feel has become a little more difficult however. And best of all, the locations of things like the SKATE letters changes with each character, so your not just playing the same thing over and over again. You can also play on the 3 tourny levels of THPS 1 and get some cool special chars like Darth Maul, Wolvurene(sp), and a pro surfer. Levels have become much more complex and imaginative, thus harder for those used to the simplisity of 1&2. I would recomend anyone with a PS2 to buy this game, and anyone without PS2, BUY ONE! Than get THPS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrod Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Why is it that most topics about a game being cool end up sounding like an ad or review? Is there any possible way to avoid it? Anyways, back to the game. I actually found the levels to be easier than the first 2 games. But that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Posted December 27, 2001 Author Share Posted December 27, 2001 Huh, your right, i does sound like an add. DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT! *beats himself in the head* Anyways, If you want hard try out Shaun Palmers Pro Snowboarder. Its alot of fun, but its insanly difficult, especially since if you miss something, you basiclly ned to start over, cause you cant go back unless you find a lift or snowmoble or truck.

Fall Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 I agree that anyone who hasn't got it, get it. But you can get it on PSX, and PSI now. It just doesn't have as good graphics as the one for the PS2 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zidargh Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 TH3 sounds good. I have just spoke to a friend about it and he says it's his best game. I want to get AirBlade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 I wanted to get AirBlade, but now, I'm not allowed too. :( So I'm getting THPS3 instead..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 I've heard that some levels from the original Tony Hawk, such as The Warehouse are hidden. Once, I get off my lazy bum, I'll have to unlock these goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syk3 Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 I got the game for christmas and I agree that it is one of the best games that I have. The levels are longer and more extensive with great detail. More characters. Harder, and all that good stuff. I can't go a day without playing it. Even the music is cool (i m buring that junk!). It is much better and harder than the first, but i cannot vouge for the second cause i hav nevr played it and havn't heard any reviews. Yes, u can get it for any system now, that plays cds. PSX, PS2, Game Cube, and, oh wait, xbox doesn't hav it cause that systems suks!!!! Please don't hurt me....Out of those 3, the ps2 is the best one anyway. The psx does not hav as good grafics, and the Game Cube controls are awful. Its so hard to preform even the simplist moves. I deffinitly reccomend getting it if you hav ps2. If you don't, don't bother. BTW, what is this AirBlade you speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people like the controls of Pro Skater on the GameCube, as the revert takes better timing.(It's not as cheap) Also Game Cube does not play cds, it plays mini-cds. Also, none of the next generation systems "suck." All of them have specific strengths. Xbox has tremendous power, Playstation 2 has unequaled thrid party support and Gamecube has the best first party titles out there. That being said, I also love the Warehouse level. There are some great grinds an easy gap. My favorite level of all time though...is the Bull Ring from Tony Hawk 2. You wouldn't believe how much fun my friends and I had trying to blow each others scores away there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] Actually Shaba Games is made up of quite the talented group of programmers. They, arguably created the most respectable alternative to the Ton Hawk series in Grind Session. Furthermore, it didn't necessarily get rated badly. Gamespot rated it a 9.0(superb). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the bottons are all different shapes and put into more or less different places. Besides, the bottons for ps2 out-do the gc ones with pressure sensitivity. With the cd's, i should hav just said dvd's, cause that is what they are. Except the cd's for psx. I kno that xbox probably does not suck, but i prefer ps2, and i was just making a joke about it.

Kuja Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]just to clear up a few things... A.) THE x-box does SUCK... it is on recall... i have NEVER seen that on a gaming system in my life... typical microsoft thou, they are on recall for some major bug that they planned on letting you download a patch to get (oh yea you have to d/l the patch that lets you d/l things :wigout: ) B.) you are going to like it on whichever system you are used to because that is what you are used to. So if you play it on PS2 u wont like the GCN and visa versa. C.) i dont like THPS series so i really dont care just thought i would read it since i am the mod and havent read it yet ;)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Xbox does not "suck." Its power compares favorably to the other next gen consoles. As a matter of fact, it is marginally more powerful. In a situation where the power behind the machines is so even, it is the people behind the consoles that will determine their success. If you just flat out say that "X box sucks," you may as well say that Gamecube and PS2 "suck" also.... Anyway, we weren't even really debating which console was better in terms of online capability, so oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoTranzrig Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I prefer THPS 3 on PS2 since you can Network play and all of that stuff with a USB modem...even though it does lag sometimes...couldn't ask for a better skating game to play with 8+ people.
