.co.uk Review
-------------
They say the third time's a charm, but what if everything was
already done right the first and second time around? That's the
hurdle Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 faces, as previous entries in
this series are regarded by most gamers as perfect. But difficult
as it is to believe, Pro Skater 3 introduces enough new features
and great skate parks to make it another must-buy for PlayStation
owners.
The biggest addition this time around is the revert, which when
combined with the manual introduced in the previous game lets
players string together some amazing vert and grind combos. Once
again, every ledge you see in the game is grindable, and the
massive levels are packed with switches, hidden areas, and other
secrets that will take months to fully explore (and exploit).
Things are a little on the chunky side graphically, but that's
to be expected with the PlayStation. Regardless, the animation is
smooth and the frame rate stays high despite the enormous and
complex environments this game lets players explore. The eclectic
soundtrack--which features acts from the Ramones (
/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=music&field-artist=ramones/${0}
) to Del tha Funky sapien (
/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=music&field-artist=del%20funky%20sapien/${0}
)--is another highlight, but it's still the Zen-like feeling you
get from chaining together combo after outrageous combo that
keeps you coming back for more. --T Byrl Baker
