    Zipping along at 60 frames per second, you almost forget you're looking at a game. [Dec 2001, p.166]

    It delivers all the clever, addictive gameplay that a THPS game should, and in higher resolution than ever before.

    The on-screen skaters control well, but not quite as tightly as the PS2 version of the game. There is a bit more play in this version, with the end result being a control scheme that is slightly looser than one might expect.

    There is no doubt about the quality of the series and its playability, but I wish for more: invention, freedom, a camera that behaves and link up play for instance.

    One of my most favorite games. With all the characters and other things to unlock it makes this game one of the best ive played.

    Wow! This game came out in 2001? I find that hard to believe because the gameplay looks like 2004. This is among the best sports games I have played. Not only have the skateboarding physics improved, but the large amount of customization and fantastic level design are great. The controls can be very difficult, so I recommend this to more experienced players. You can not only create your own skater character, but also your own skate park!… Expand

    Tony Hawk 2 was awesome and this game is even better. The new revert lets you do almost infinite combos but i have one gripe. Whats with the f...ing punk and rap music? I would have given this game a 9 if there was some decent rock music, but its filled with pussy ass punk and rap. If there ever is a sequel, please consider adding music with balls, okay neversoft?… Expand
