In addition to the BirdMan himself, several other skaters featured in earlier releases return for another round, including Steve Caballero, Bucky Lasek, Rune Glifberg, Chad Muska, and Elissa Steamer. Loyal N64 gamers should be pleased that all the important new levels, tricks, and combinations developed for the third edition of Tony Hawk Pro Skater are duly represented in this version of the game.
Environments are designed to test old and new skills alike. New landing tricks allow players to string together bigger combinations, especially when moving from the ramps to the flats. It can't pump out the same amount of eye-candy as its counterparts on the 128-bit generation systems, but this release of THPS3 incorporates several of the new features designed to propel the series' popularity on other platforms. Though the third edition in the Tony Hawk series has been released on half a dozen platforms, and considerable effort was invested in assuring that the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube versions live up to their "next-generation" technological potential, Neversoft and Activision endeavored to bless this N64 version with all of the third edition's key innovations while retaining and reinforcing the engaging, accessible gameplay which is the true crux of the series' success. Possibly the last Nintendo 64 game published, the console gets a "big air" sendoff with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.
