Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Demo

Skateboards may not be the most efficient method of transportation, but efficiency is of no concern to those who use them to perform wild and dangerous stunts. Due to the fact that they are light and they do not hinder the movements of the person riding them, skateboards are widely used by athletes worldwide in stunt shows and daring acrobatics.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is the long awaited sequel to the popular simulation series, featuring a wide array of improvements and new stuff for you to try out. As in the previous titles, the purpose of the game is to perform as many tricks as you can while trying not to fall very often, exploring a variety of lively locations in the meantime.

Speaking of which, the action now takes place in entirely new environments, including urban settings, skating parks and even famous arenas around the world, all of which provide you with plenty of rails, ramps and obstacles to use to your advantage. Weather conditions can now change mid-game and hinder your ability to control the skateboard properly, while pedestrians and traffic cars are liable to get in your way and ruin the tricks.

As always, the graphic quality has been improved significantly, especially when it comes to character animation and his movement on the skateboard. While this is mostly visible during the variety of tricks you can perform, it is also quite enjoyable to watch when the said stunts fail and you find yourself falling and hitting the ground in a number of painful ways.

Since the control responsiveness is extremely important in this type of game, a lot of effort went into improving this aspect and perfect the way you are able to make the transition from one trick to the other. Finally, a new soundtrack has been compiled as well, featuring popular rock and electronic tracks from a variety of artists around the world.

In case you are a fan of the previous releases, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 should fulfill your expectations and provide you with countless of hours of gameplay, especially in the free ride mode, which basically allows you to keep playing for as long as you wish.
