I have beaten it 12 times so far with all goals and gold medals. Though the rest of the physics are quite unrealistic, it makes for a fun game.There is a lot of incentive to beat the game, unlike in the first two installments. That adds a lot of realism to the games physics. if you do a 50-50 grind you can then link it to a nosegrind or a tailgrind, then to a nose or tail bluntslide, crooked grind, or tailslide…all without doing an ollie. The animations between tricks look a lot smoother than in the past two games.Another change in the game is the linking of tricks without use of an ollie. You can play against anybody in 4 or 5 different modes.The graphics are great. THERE IS ONLINE MULTIPLAYER! It adds so much. And this game has a major feature that these reviewers seemed to have overlooked. With other reviewers saying that the game is overrated, they are completely wrong. So I give it a 4.5 but I decided to just round it up to five stars. While it is appropriate of the game and genre, well some of the songs are just annoying….not all just some. Plus it has the option of online play.The only downfall is the music. This is just the top of the barrell folks. Sometimes to tight! Sure the career mode is the same, you know collect S-K-A-T-E get a certain score, but they added fun things to do like 'stop the pick pocketers', 'bury the dude throwing snowballs', 'unstick Chuck from the flagpole', 'squash the pumkins', get the 'satelitte working' to name a few. The create a skater is a lot of fun, and takes up very little of memory space to save them.The game play is very tight. The graphics are by far some of the best that the PS2 has to offer. I know there are some people out their that are very disappointed in how this turned out, but I have a theory on that, they played THPS2 so much that when THPS3 came out it played the same for them.Well I have THPS and THPS2, and after a while I moved on to other games, sure I picked them up every now and then, but after completing them 90+ percent…well it got a little old.Not in this game.
