Yeah, it got a 10. As you probably already guessed it's one of GS's most controversial reviews.

GS rates gives games better ratings for money/ if they advertise on there site.

I think it was The Expoding Barrel That formed after a GS Editor gave a game a worse review than he was supposed to give for a game that paid GS advertisment money. (I may be wrong on some of this).

I remember playing this game way back in the day with a friend of mine. We would play it constantly and we liked watching our guys crash and smear blood on the ground lol we were like 12 years old. Yeah, the game did not deserve a 10 though. Even back then it was perfect, but fun.

The game was amazing when it came out. Did it deserve a 10? Well, that's debatable.

I know it was amazing. I bought it for a friend for his birthday plus I used to have it. I'm just amazed it got 10.

As far as skateboarding games go the only one that might be better than THPS3 is the original. But I do agree with the ten.

It makes sense. The sound department had great music, graphics at the time were great, it had online, gameplay was the best then and was fun as hell.

I've played all of the Hawk Series besides the newest one which is garbage from what I found out by playing the demo on xbl but besides that THPS3 had to be my least favorite of the whole series. It didn't feel as nuts as the other ones. Well they must have heard that a few times after they made that ridiculous THUG2. It was great gameplay but th challenges were **** stupid.

Um, no they do not. That was an unsubstantiated rumor with less substance than the recent bigfoot "finding".

As for THPS3, I don't know whether it was worth a 10, but it had substantial improvements over its predecessors and revolutionized sports games at the time. I really, really like it.

It was an awesome game back when it came out. The high point of the Tony Hawk series, in my opinion, 2 being a close second. I can see why it got a 10, but it may not be a 10 for everyone, especially by today's standards.

*Shrug* I saw this awhile back, THPS3 was a great game but a 10 was waaay overrated. If there was a game that deserved that then it should have been MGS3 or something.

Personally I loved TH1 and TH2 on the PS1 and played them both to death. But when TH3 came out it just didn't seem the same. I don't know why but I just couldn't get in to it at all and it was the last TH game I bought. So for me it was never a 10/10. But then I don't think there are many games out there that honestly deserve a 10/10.

May not have been the sole reason, but I think that it did contribute to it.

As for TH3, probably a 9ish.

you must mean Kane and Lynch and Jeff

I thought it was MGS 1 and Jeff.

Non the less, you should never just look at the score or only read one review.

Well, sorry. I never look at what Gamespot gives PS2 games. That was the first time I ever have. Seriously. I normally use IGN for reviews. Although sometimes they aren't to bright either.

This one all comes down to personal opinion. At the time when the THPS series was at a peak, it did add some new features to the series and stepped up the gameplay and graphics. Did it deserve a 10? well, there a lot of games that I bellieve have got 10 and didn't earn them, and then games that hadn't that should have. I personally believe it was the best THPS of the series even to this day at the time of its release and if any THPS gets a 10, it would be this one.
