Among the best handheld games ever

Let me start out by saying that this was not my first GBA game. Mario Kart Super Circuit was my first, and after playing it for hours on end, I didn't believe that there could exist a better (or even comperable) GBA game. I was wrong.

I had played THPS 2 for GBA on my friend's handheld and thought it was great. The graphics were unbelievable, and the gameplay was exceptional. After 3 came out, I decided to give it a try. Here's how I say the new one ranks compared to the old one.

Graphics: Have improved a surprising amount since THPS 2, including the fact that the skater is larger, allowing you to see him easier.
Sound: Incredible sound for a handheld console, easy to listen to and not easy to get sick of.
Gameplay: Great gameplay, as with THPS 2, but I'd say that 3 stands out more. One thing I noticed right away is that the maps are huge compared to the previous version. There is a lot more skateable area.

Overall, I'd say that although the changes may be subtle in their own respective categories, the total improvement definetely puts THPS 3 higher than 2. I would recommend that you get this game whether you are a skateboarder or not.

Great game...even for normal people

This is an incredible skating franchise. I am definately not a skater, but when I first played Tony Hawk 3 for Game Cube, I was hooked and literally stayed up late into the morning playing it.

I'm sure this game is no different. It is obviously going to be a great game. It has many new features that were missing from the last version on GBA, such as creat-a-skater and 4 player multiplayer. It also has incredible graphics, just like the unprecidented graphics of Tony Hawk 2 for GBA.[...].

This game will not disappoint you.

THPS 3 for GBA. The best yet?

I bought the original THPS 2 for my GBA when it came out. It was (in my opinion) the best game out for the GBA. The graphics and sound were uncomparable. I thought that nothing could get better than THPS 2!!! But then I checked my favorite gaming news website yesterday...and I saw it: New Screens of THPS 3 for GBA. I was not disappointed AT ALL! I was Ecstatic! I couldn't believe my eyes! Not only was it the sequal to the best GBA game ever, but it was 4 player and had a create-a-skater feature!!! It was a dream come true! I was a bit mad when I found out that those features were NOT on THPS 2 (I also wish that create-a-skatepark made the cut in this game...maybe THPS 4 for GBA...they will probably have to make a GBA memory card too.) This game features 6 of the 9 places that were on THPS 3 for Gamecube, PS1, and PS2 (the places are: Foundry, Rio, Suburbia, Airport, LA, and Tokyo...but no CANADA, Skater Island, or Cruise Ship though...and nostalgic THPS 1 skateparks like on THPS 3 for consoles...but...and this is a hint...if you want the Warehouse level, go get THPS 2 for GBA...it IS on that game.) It includes the classic CAREER mode...a no time FREE SKATE mode...SINGLE SESSION mode...and 2-4 player games (games in multiplayer are: trick-attack, H-O-R-S-E, King-of-Hill...and maybe GRAPHITI...but I dont know about the graphiti game). You can also customize existing skaters and create your own...like Bob Burnquist...:)

Can't wait for this game to come out. It is going to be AWESOME!!!

Rock On

WOW!!!!!!

This is going to be one of the greatest gameboy advance games of all time. The improve graphics add a lot to an already awesome game, but the addition that takes the cake is the create-a-skater. This function allows you to use your imagination to create a wacky skater and adjust him/her to your liking. The last thing that boosts this game to the top are the added levels, featuring Tokyo, Paris, and more. This amazing game will be well worth the long wait!!

My Son Says -- Yes!

My son likes this game a lot. He has played Tony Hawk 2 on Nintendo 64. We were worried about the transition to Game Boy Advance. We heard that Tony Hawk 3 was better than 2, so we got 3. My son is glued to it. He plays that, Mario Super Circuit (ala Mario Kart on Nintendo 64) and Spiderman (Game Boy Color!) on his Game Boy Advance. He gives it a big thumbs up.

YES,Activision Puts Another One Out on the Market !!!!!!!!!!

THPS3 is probably the best game ever. I am a Skateboarder/vidio game fanadic and this is sweet. The grafics are so good and the levels are HUGE. You can also create your own skater. this is a awssome game.

Have you ever played thps2, and felt your self wanting more?Well, thps3 forefills the dream, with new levels including Tokyo, and L.A. With the returning allstar lineup, game play rises to an atmospheric level. Can you say creat-a-skater? Yup. You can customize with multiple selections. Alternate "costumes" give the game a realistic twist too.Ya remember Spider-Man? Thps3 continues to deliver with marvel comic legend Wolverine. And with Sponcered and Pro tours, the challenges also execle. THPS3 is by far GBA's finest game and is worth buying.

Great Buy

This is the first game that I got along with Golden Sun ( you can read my review about that). I beat the game fairly quick because I have been playing Tony Hawk games since the time the first game came out. The game has a good replay value because there is always more secrets to get as you progess through the game. In other words, this is a great buy and don't hesitate buying it like I did.

Some people said it was ok.Some people said the great visuals didn't make up for the poor perspective.But they were wrong.the truth is that this is the best game on GBA.It has fab gameplay.Its quite easy,but it has unlimited reaplay value.Best GBA game since F-zero.
