I got TONY HAWK 3!!!!! Ask me some questions!!!

**wweomaniac** · 03-08-2002

I got tony hawk pro skater 3 today from Electronics Boutique for $79.99 CDN. The game is amazing and I wonder why I didn't buy THPS2x.

I also bought the OXM magazine for the month of April.

If anyone wishes to know anything about the game, just ask me. I am into the third level after playing for 3 hours with my friends (we've been screwing aroung).

THIS GAME KICKS

I bought TH1 and loved it to death, bought TH2 and loved it to bits until I realised I played it so much I didn't need to think while playing it. I realised that was because with the addition of manuals, I didn't need to suss out where to go so i could pull off an amazing grind combo, as you can do a trick, manual, trick, manual, grind, trick, manual, etc.

It seems that with TH3 I'll have to think even less with reverts, and as much as I'd like to think I'm going to love this game I'm not sure if I will.

Please give me reasons to love it!!!

**wweomaniac** · 03-08-2002

WOW! You seemed to of played this game a lot. Well... THPS3 is a lot about grinding. The grinding is more difficult and so is the landing.

I have only played THPS2 on both N64 and PS2, and I have never played THPS1. From playing the N64 and PS2 version, I can tell you that this game seems harder.

You can play your own music while boarding!!!!!!! There are different maps (why not just buy it for the maps).

You can create your own skate park....

*opens his crisp new THPS3 manual*

and... multiplayer options are:

graffiti
trick atack,
horse,
slap!,
king of the hill,
free skating.

I think this game can be played on gamespy but not M$'s internet. More skaters!!!

That was a tough question and I haven't played enough of the game to know enough of it. When I do, Ill post soem mroe interesting information. But I think this game is totally betetr than 2.

Hey thanks, the increased difficulty sounds good.
I also read that the grinds and moves look more realistic (ie make the models look less like robots when they trick and lean sideways on a grind

)

Yeah, I'll definately at least rent this one, thanks.

holy crap, i am really sick of americans not understanding what CDN means after a monetary value, CANADIAN!!! do you get that, all the time people are like, why did you pay so much for this or what the hell is wrong with you $50 for a DVD kit. Understand that Canadian currency is not the same as american currency and if you see a price that seems extremely high, it's probably in canadian funds, so my question to you is, are you slow minded?

**wweomaniac** · 03-09-2002

American's can be so ignorant about their neighbours.

Us currency is $1.6 in Canada. Therefore you would proabbaly have to of paid somewhere between $45-50 in US. that is just equivalent to the price I paid!! And BTW, the game would be worth $80 US anwyays. Its that fun

**FlyBoy** · 03-09-2002

I know THPS 2x included the original levels from 1 and 2... do they do this again w/more additions in 3?

**nick_bmx** · 03-09-2002

when u change ur vharacter, does it load for about 2 seconds? i dont know if its just mine or if it meant to be like that.

XboxGamerX2 · 03-09-2002

i got it 2! its awesome..i already beat it almost..just need 2 beat tokyo the main part of this game is grinding, manuling and reverts

**Batman2372** · 03-09-2002

To answer your question, Flyboy... no... The levels are all new... and they are sweet. They're absolutely huge!!! The first level is called the Foundry, and it's a metal working plant. The second is called Canada, and it's a combination skate park/ Abandoned Mine. There are (of course) more levels, but if I told you that... I'd have to kill ya.

The game has all the usual stuff (collect hidden tapes, S-K-A-T-E, high scores) and then other objectives based on the actual level.

Take it from me, boys and girls, you're gonna love this.

No its only tony hawk 3. There is no tony hawk 1 or 2. But the only diference between this game fro xbox and the ps2 version is that there is an additional level, more skaters and soundtrack taht comes with it.

Yeah, I know. So far, that has been the only annoying factor aboot the game. It has a long load time when changin characters, changing your characters appearance and ... i think thats it. The game/level loading time is normal so you dont have to worry.

Only the character/appearance changing has slow loading, but you won't spend a lot of time in that screen anyways, so don't hesistate to buy it just b/c of loading times.

Well, after owning it for just a bit more than 18 hours, I have played it for about four hours. I'm at Suburba, and I have beaten most of the goals for most levels. The goals do get very harder as you go through the levels. This adds a challenge factor that is harder to notice in games like SSX, Amped and Dave Mirra.

I usually find extreme games a lot easier, but this one is a bit more challenging and fun.

**GTA3 Dude** · 03-10-2002

I dont know how anyone really could think this is hard. My friend got it Friday. He came over and in about 2or 3 hours we beat it 100%. We now have the oil rig, x-ray, and darth maul.

(Darth Maul is unlocked by beating it 3 times)

**Toder** · 03-10-2002

Wait until you unlock Wolverine (by beating it 8 times)

**wweomaniac** · 03-10-2002

Whats this about unlocking a wolverine??? Beating the game 8 times??? Who would have the time to do that?

**X-Factor** · 03-10-2002

I've already unlocked The Oil Rig, X-Ray, Darth-Maul, Wolverine, The Warehouse, Burnside, Officer ****, Private Carrera, Ollie the Magic Bum, Kelly Slater, Roswell, Super Stats... I think I've unlocked everything.
