Out of all the modern games I have played nothing quite compares to this game series. I borrowed the first for a bit and then I got hold of the second on the N64... and I hated it!!! The game had me kicking in my T.V. throwing my controllers around, yelling, screaming... how could my friend rack up points reaching 5000 when I can't reach 500?
It took me days and weeks to finally crack the game, learing the best way to jump, to increase speed, how to do certain tricks, specials, whats a good combination, how to do a no comply... the learning curve was stupidly steep it was like learning to swim for the first time and being thrown in the deep end. But after 1 frustrating month I finished it and left it to rot... and then my PS2 owning friend got the third, well what is the worst that can happen? Might as well give it a go! And that first level was sooooo easy, it was pathetic whilst my friend for the first time couldn't string two moves together...
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 has given me the ability to enjoy all future sequels, the GBA versions and even the older games... the fact is it taught me how to play the game and I recommend if you get one of these games conquer that learning curve because if you don't then you'll be missing out on one of the greatest games series of all time!
There we are Activision and Neversoft can pay me now.

I adored Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 the missions were so much more original, THPS2 had you knocking crates over the third had you fixing sky and knocking men into the water, this is one of my most anticipated Gamecube launch titles.
I would imagine that the PC version will look superb, though. They're supposed to be recreating all the models and textures for the PC platform.

The Tony Hawk's 2 games rule, and THPS3 GBA rules. But THPS3 for PS2 , I don't like. Go see my review of it, if you must....
Tony Hawks 3, Gamecube... i wont miss it.
I have just started to love the Tony Hawk's range. I never liked it for the Playstation. My mate always got huge scores and i couldn't even string one trick together. But when i played it for the GBA, i started to love and i'm thinking about getting the GameCube version.
Good post Dringo.
