"Am i the only person who doesnt like tony hawks 3???"

I have never played the game before, so i may not be in any position to judge, but its just doesnt appeal to me. I dont skateboard either so i dont even know who tony hawkes is.

I just dont get it! The game has come out at a similar time to quality games like silent hill 2 and half life, but it seems to be way more popular. I cant see a akteboarding game having much of a lifespan either, unless thats just me not being very open minded!

I am definately not trying to start any kind of argumant here, and what i would like most is for some of you guys to make me realise that is actually is a great game. After all, the more quality games there are the better.

I'm in the same boat. I hated skateboarding as a kid because I kept falling off. I don't like all the clones that are now arriving (SSX Tricky, Airblade, the motoX games, the BMX games etc...) because there are more of the other genres that should be getting the limelight (like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, much more my cup of tea).

BUT

If you haven't tried or played any of the Xtreme sports games before, you can't do better than Tony Hawk's 3, it's the best out there. The novel gameplay will get you hooked, even though you may not know what an 'Ollie' or a 'Grind' are you'll soon find out, and it is fun. And a challenge.

Personally I'd get one of each sport just for the novelty value, but I think I'll be avoiding Tony Hawk's 4 if they decide to do it. (Unless he's carrying a gun this time).

I am not into skateboarding but Tony Hawks is an amazing game. I never bothered with the first 2 but wanted the 3rd. Iam getting the 3rd for christmas and have actually played the 2nd one. I firsted played it today. Its really easy to get in to an is so addictive. The moves are easy to pull off and there is so much depth to the games. You dont have to like Skateboarding to like the game. I dont think that there are many people on this board that are actually fans on Skateboarding(Actually owning a board and trying to be like Tony Hawk), but every one loves the game. Try to rent Tony Hawk 3 or try playing on teh 1st or second game on the PS1 or the DC version of the 2nd. Try it and you will like it.

P.S Tony Hawks is the master of all masters. Hes won so many gold medals at the X-games.
