And if you got stuck with one of the Nintendo 64 versions of the older games (which chug along at about 3 frames per second), by George, get ready for a heart attack.

Prepare to cream thy pants if you're used to 30fps Tony Hawk and haven't seen the PS2 version yet. Now, for you Tony Hawk addicts, er, I mean, veterans, that haven't picked up 3 yet.Ħ0 frames per second gameplay - Yes, almost all the ports of the game hiccup at some point, especially the rushed GameCube version, but it's still beautiful to behold. I mean, there's a lot more to learn, but that's the (very) basic idea. If you happen to hit ground-level before you pull off your kickflip, or lose your balance on your grind, you bail, and all those points you could've had are lost.in a rather painful-looking manner, I might add. Unsuprisingly, this multiplier multiplies ( gasp!) the total score of your tricks, dramatically increasing the amount of points you earn if you successfully land the string of manuevers.Īnd there we have the catch. Two tricks will generate a x2 multiplier, three a x3 multiplier, and so on. While individual tricks are worth a specific point value, every trick after the first one adds to your multiplier, shown to the right of your score. These tricks must be linked together, into what is known as a combo.

Performing individual tricks, however, will get you nowhere fast. Usually, the longer it takes to pull off a trick, the more points it's worth. These points are accquired by successfully pulling off tricks. While there are usually multiple objectives to complete, Tony Hawk 3 is primarily concerned with points. Tony Hawk 3, just like it's two previous incarnations, is an " extreme skateboarding" game. A complete description is more suited to a FAQ, so I'll only be covering two specific parts of the Tony Hawk 3 experience.ġ.Basic Premise (for those who haven't played any of the Tony Hawk games before)Ģ.What's new in Tony Hawk 3 (from the two previous versions) Tony Hawk 3 (available for the PlayStation 2, X-Box, GameCube, and PC, along with a Playstation version that's similar but not quite, see HurtfulPotato's w/u) is a vast game. As an added bonus, you can create your own skater. Reportadly some contactual SNAFU is responsible ( Game Informer, issue 101). The cast from the others is almost identical, save that Bob Burnquist has been bumped off, in favor of Bam Margera, of Jackass fame. New tricks abound, some can be done on flat surfaces, making pavement actually useful.

There is a sliding scale to indicate, when grinding, how off-balance you are, making it easier to correct. THPS3 offers some significant gameplay advantages over the first two in the series. A few of the onscreen niceties ( fonts, score placement, et.) are ugly, but they will likely going to be fixed ere release. "Hey," you think to yourself as you absorb twice the visual information, "I can see what's going on." What goes on will frequently be some brutal new wipeout animations. The most shining exception is that this bad boy runs at 60 fps, and that, aside from making animations far prettier, improves playability. It shares remarkably little of its codebase with THPS2&1, but the visual feel is very similar.
