While on a THPS kick, decided to drop into THPS3, with it being my least played entry in the series.
Upon this play through, I realised that the game has aged much better than I had originally believed. The introduction to the Revert being the big game changer for most players, leading to longer, more free flowing combo lines. Rodney Mullen-styled flatland tricks from a manual are also a nice addition.
The maps in THPS3 are all pretty good, except for a couple that aren't up to standard. 'Foundry', 'Airport', 'Los Angeles' and 'Canada' are all absolute classics where as 'Skater Island' and 'Suburbia' leave a bit to be desired unfortunately.
For a long time, I thought I preferred THPS 4 to this entry, but after my recent play through, I realised I much prefer the arcade-like goals and addictive bite-sized runs present here. If you like THPS 1 & 2 (as well as the HD remakes), then you'll love this one too!
