Current Events > I feel like I should remind you guys why THPS3 is the best one >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

-Fantastic levels: Pretty much every level in this game is fun as fuck. Canada, Airport, Skater Island, LA, Tokyo, and Cruise Ship are all my top levels in the series. Plus every level even has some fun secret area to find in it. It may be small like in Foundry or it might literally double the size of the level like Skater Island and Tokyo. Even LA had the entire level radically change when you caused an earthquake.

-Secret Skaters: There are tons and tons of fun hidden skaters to obtain. Stuff like Darth Maul with his double lightsaber, Wolverine, the Neversoft eyeball, a succubus with barely any clothes >___>, and even Doom Guy on the PC version. They all have wacky special moves that you can put on your custom skater, and if you hit NPCs with them they have special animations associated with them (ie: Darth Maul force chokes them, succubus sets them on fire, etc.) Other Tony Hawk games definitely had their fair share of fun secret characters, but only 1 or 2 at most. THPS3 went balls out with a lot of them.

-Neversoft tomfoolery: you can tell the devs had fun making this game. There's videos of them placing money bets on which of them can land a kickflip first. Or having them bring their kids to the office to say hi to the camera during the credits movie. Showing old homevideos of them on skateboards doing tricks in their backyard. A video where the devs are playing musical chairs to win a PS2 and shoving each other down in playful ways. There's even a video of them falconpunching Tony Hawk in the arm while he's recording dialogue lol. The entire credits scene is just a video of them and Tony Hawk fucking around for 10 minutes and it's fun to watch. Plus it's humanizing to see the faces who worked on the game >_>

-NPCs: The NPCs were new to the series in 3 and they made the most of them. They add a lot of life to the levels and comedy into the game. You can knock them down, get slapped by them, and they give you extra points if you do tricks in front of them. Some levels even have special npcs like Canada has a dude peeing in a lake (and if you lip trick next to him, he'll fall in), Skater Island has a pirate that talks to you when you lip near him, the cruise ship has these tubetop wearing Neversoft chicks that have jiggle physics on their boobs when they jump up and down (in all their low poly PS2 glory >_>), and even the captain of the cruise ship is making snide remarks the whole time you're skating that are pretty funny. The NPCs just add so much to the levels that the other games just havent replicated on the same level.

I feel like all the others always lacked something compared to THPS3, but the whole game just comes together so well. No wonder it's literally one of the highest rated PS2 game of all time.

Prove me wrong with your incorrect opinions! >_>

I really really like open world Tony Hawk

---

Project 8 was okay and I didnt like Proving Ground >_>

---

Agreed

---

I think THUG was better.

It took what was becoming an old formula and added enough to it, to make it special again without really being a vast departure from what made the series great

---

Proving Ground on the DS is still GOAT and I'm not changing my stance on this

---

Thug 2 > everything else

Agreed. Also it added reverts for combo mayhem.

---

When you realize the old Tony Hawk games were collectathon 3D platformers in disguise

I heard someone say that it was Super Mario 64 on a skate board lol

---

Its my fave

---

i originally had the PS1 version THPS 3. sure it was stripped down to fit the limitations but even it was fun as fuck. pretty much the reason when i got a gamecube i bought it again.

---

I haven't played a Tony Hawk game since THPS2. Which is silly really considering i have bought a bunch of the PS2 TH games.

---

4 was the worst one out of the original THPS games

THUG2 will always be my favorite as the gameplay was at it's peak, but 3 is my second favorite. Back when I only played the PS1 version, which had some issues. I finally got the PS2 version a couple of year ago and really fell in love with the game.
