Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3

Review by DANELEKTRO | 09/18/2006 | 17:38:24 PM PST

The Hawk flew high on the PS2...will it soar on the GameCube, too?

If you've seen the PS2 version, you can easily imagine the GameCube port. Everything is just as gorgeous, with detailed levels and 14 realistically animated skaters, all of whom can be customized and dressed as you see fit. However, there's a price to pay for the high-resolution textures---you'll spot some dropped frames in places. It's not enough to ruin the fun, but it does distract from time to time. The controls are responsive, but the controller's a tad tricky at times. Let the Ramones and Xzibit soothe your ragged nerves. Even without the PS2's online play, GameCube owners won't be disappointed with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 by any means. It delivers all the clever, addictive gameplay that a THPS game should, and in higher resolution than ever before.
