Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3: Games
built 214 days ago
Players who held off on getting the PlayStation 2 version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 in hopes of receiving a better version for the GameCube need not wait any longer. The GameCube version of the insanely popular skateboarding game is here, and it retains almost everything that made the PS2 version so incredible. If you don't own a PS2, getting this version of the game is a no-brainer--it's easily one of the GameCube's strongest launch games. But if you own both a GameCube and a PlayStation 2, the choice isn't so clear. The GameCube version may be less jaggy than the original PS2 release, but its lack of online multiplayer and somewhat sketchy frame rate keep it from living up to its full potential.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 carries the "music from and inspired by" tag, but even if some of these cuts aren't actually in the game, they're in the same spirit. This is California-based skatepunk and nu-metal all the way, from NOFX's appropriately snotty "What's the Matter With Parents Today?" and their stylistic hang-abouts in Sum 41, to the L.A. metal of Onesidezero or Deftones' brooding "Head Up," which only seems to be here because they're on Maverick like this set is. Overplayed OutKast gem "B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)" and Ozomatli's "Cut Chemist Suite" offer some hip-hop variety amidst the dull shriek of Drowning Pool and Papa Roach. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
