Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (THPS3) for PC is straight port of the original PlayStation 2 version of Tony Hawk 3 and  I can confirm that GearBox (Half-Life PS2 and Half-Life: Blue Shif PC makers) ported the game very well. While they keeped its incredible gameplay and imaginative level design from PS2, they enhanced the game to utilize current PC hardware. I still remember the horrible console ports a year ago, now some ported games beginning to look better and better and THPS3 is good example of that.  Of course the game doesn't offer much new in comparison to the previous installment, but there are again a number of different types of tricks (flip/grab/lip/landing/grinds etc) which can be combined together.But it plays extremely fast-paced - alike a first-person shooter.
Needless to say that the core gameplay is incredibly fun but the main segment of the game is Career Mode. In this mode you choose a predefined skater -  you can choose from the world's greatest skateboarders (you probably remember them from the first two games) including Tony Hawk, Chad Muska, Steve Caballero, Elissa Steamer, Jamie Thomas, Rodney Mullen, Eric Koston, Kareem Campbell, Andrew Reynolds, Rune Glifterg, Geoff Rowley and Bucky Lasek and Bam Margera. Then  you select one of the eight levels which   are new, improved, big, and pretty interactive. Alike to THPS2, each level has a number of different goals such as  to find a secret tape which is usually hidden, score enough points, stop a car chase, or even getting airport tickets and delivering them to your skating pal. Since you will have only two minutes to try to complete as many goals as possible, it will be impossible at first :)
But you'll want to keep playing until you solve just one more goal. THPS3 features an enhanced video sequences, new user-friendly menu system, well-balanced scoring system, ability to customize a character, by selecting skin, clothes, glasses, beard etc, and support for up to 8 players via LAN/Internet with   Trick Attack, Graffiti, Slap!, King of the Hill, Keep-Away + two brand new online multiplayer team-based modes - own the zone and capture the flag.
As expected, THPS3 offering 20 carefully selected tracks: The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop, Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fight Like A Brave, KRS-One Hush, Motorhead - Ace of Spades, Rollins Band - What's the Matter Man, House of Pain - I'm A Swing It, Xzibit - Paparazzi, Ozomatli Cut - Chemist Suite, Alien Ant - Farm Wish, Redman - Let's Get Dirty, Del the Funky Homosapien - If You Must, AFI - The Boy Who Destroyed The World, Reverend Horton - Heat I Can't Surf, Adolescents - Amoeba, CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings, Zebrahead - Check, Guttermouth - I'm Destroying the World, Nextmen - Amongst Madness, Bodyjar - Not The Same, Mad Capsule Markets - Pulse. Simply, the previous Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for PC wasn't bad, but THPS3 brings even more addictive gameplay and much better graphics and physics. This game is definitely worth having in your game collection.
