| Quick Review | ||
 11/10/01 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 debuted last week for the PS2. In it's latest incarnation, everyone's favorite skateboarding game offers smoother graphics, fast loading times, and enhanced game play. There are new levels, basically the same controls, and you still have "goals" to complete in each level, including gathering S-K-A-T-E. Here are some highlights which make this game extremely enjoyable and infinitely replayable: 1) This is the first title for the PS2 which integrates on-line play. Sure, you have to buy some add-ons, but c'mon, the possibilities are amazing. Dan in Connecticut, you're toast on the half-pipes! Read more about the ins and outs on our PS2 General Boards (the first console to release the game). 2) Are you sick of looking for that stupid Secret Tape? How about the fifth Bell in the School (THPS2)? Well, now you have the option to "view goal movies". It shows you a cinematic of your remaining goals and where to find them. Nice touch. 3) The soundtrack is more eclectic and softer overall. A good thing for us who are sick of the all-Offspring-like hard core crap found in previous versions..."die, die, you psycho bitch" will not be missed. Replacing this is a good mix of hip-hop, rap, punk, oldies (Hey, Ho, Let's Go), alt, and rock. It just seems to go better with the game, especially when you play it for 9 hours at a time.
4) Player customization. You'd think it wouldn't be fun. But it is! Especially with all of the options you have to choose from;
like about 20 hats, 12 shirts/vests, 10 pants, and helmets, too. We're playing with Tony Hawk wearing a "Capone" hat with a green
and black puffy jacket and rolled up red jeans. Don't Ask.

| Guide | ||
| The Foundry | ||
| Grind the Molten Bucket You have to wait until the bucket pours it's hot liquid into the molten pool. When it does, you'll see that the molten bucket has a rail/bar on each side of it. Follow the yellow caution stripes on the ground leading to it, jump and do any grind. | ||
| Soak the Foreman Grind the yellow rail with the two blue boxes next to the guy near the pool. | ||
| Canada | ||
| Secret Tape First you have to get up to the wooden bridge/Ewok-looking area, then head towards the half-pipe at the end of the system of wooden bridges. Along the rail on one side (on the left if you're heading towards the half-pipe) you'll see a brown/rusty control box. Grind the rail over the box and that will raise the half-pipe. Get up to the now raised half-pipe and jump across to a higher set of wooden bridges. Go along there until you see two bars to grind. One will take you to the secret tape (which you should be able to see by now) the other will take you right by it causing you to swear a lot. | ||
| Suburbia | ||
| Help the Thin Man The thin dude near the door of the Haunted House needs a key? What the? Well, actually, he needs an axe. So, go over to the construction area and grind some two-by-fours on saw horses. You'll pick up the axe. Now bring it to him. This opens the Haunted House. | ||
| Restore Power to the Dish There are two tree branches on each of two power lines running to the house with satellite on top. Get on the blue house across from the satellite house. You'll see two lines running to the satellite. One is connected to the peak of the roof of the blue house, the other is connected to the lower (flat) part of the roof of the blue house. Grind each of these lines to remove the branches. | ||
| Secret Tape Once you gain access to the Haunted House, go around back. You'll see a second story window. Break through the second story window using the ramp that leads up to it., go through the hallway (watch out for bats) and grind out the other side and you'll get the secret tape. | ||
| Airport | ||
| Get the Tickets to Your Skate Buddy Starting right from where you start, grind the ticket counter on the left and you should pick up some tickets. You have to get those tickets all the way down to the lower departure area. Here's the twist: don't fall and don't go through any metal detectors. Once down, you'll hear someone say, "I need some tickets." Run into that guy. | ||
| Los Angeles | ||
| Cause an Earthquake Near where you begin, you'll find some rails that go down stairs. Grind some of these and you'll eventually hit an "Earthquake Rail". You'll get confirmation with something like, "Southern Earthquake Rail." Anyway, there's four total, and they're all in that same block of the city. Just keep hitting rails and you'll get it. | ||
| Stop the Car Chase First, make sure you did the "Cause an Earthquake." Once that is done, the highway above you will collapse. Get on top of the highway (I usually use the car wash), and skate until you see the green car poised over the edge. Grind the concrete wall right through the car. The car will fall and stop the car chase. | ||
| Secret Tape Again, get on top of the fallen highway and skate and jump until you reach some wooden planks, which make a ramp. Go up the ramp and jump onto the top of the building. Stop and get your control back. Now, make a jump onto the next building over, I think it's purple or reddish. After the jump, again, get control. You'll see a part of the building sticking out. You should be able to see the secret tape by now. Skate along the part sticking out, jump and grind onto the bar in front of you. The tape is on the bar. | ||
| Cruise Ship | ||
| Invert the High Wires First, drain the pool by grinding the white rail next to the big red tower. Now, use the pool to get up to the wires and do your little hand stand. | ||
| Secret Tape Get up to the wires above the pool however you can. Get across to the red tower. On top of the red tower is a half-pipe. Use the half-pipe to get the secret tape. TIP: The red tower half-pipe is a great way to get a ton of points. | ||
