Hey guys this is Dragonlord21 with the first of many,or few,reviews!
Lets cut to the chase,skate 3 is obviously a skateboarding game,its a very large wrold,and this world is pretty much the biggest skatepark ever.
Skate 3 takes place in the fictional city of Port Carveton,You play the legend,the same skater You customized and shredded with in skate 1 and 2,In short You had a photo shoot,tryed to air over a shark from a roof,and blew your face out,so You and Your filmographer Giovanni Reda decide your tired of getting sponsered,so its time to make Your own skate team.

The intro video:As usual,comedy and awesomeness,black box dont disapoint.
So,its all over the radio,'the legend'(You) is gunna air over the hartley stadium shark sign,Joey Brezinsky and Lizard King,playing deer hunters,catch sight of bigfoot,who is played by Chris Haslam.
Joey takes aim and maims sasquatch for life,elsehwhere Danny Way,a woodcutter,hears the gunshots,returns to his tree,and saws it down.
Terry Kennady orders people around,and a series of scenarios involving Colin Mckay,Benny Fairfax,Jason Lee,PJ Ladd,and many others taints Your mind,eventually,that tree Danny took down is turned into s askateboard,as Your missing Yours,Josh Kalis delivers it,after a bit of difficulty with Mike Carrol,Andrew Reynolds gets a lowdown about 'tigerwizards' by Colin Mckay,Jason Lee,as coach Frank,does a comercial,Followed by Rob Dyrdek and John Rattery,sat at a news desk talking about the whole shabang,You pop up on the roof of the stadium and oohhhhh,You blow your face out,which Dyrdek takes note of,Bigfoot drinks beer with Joey and King,and Reda says You should throw a team together.
Its all good,funny,enjoyable,9/10 for intro.

Story: You and Reda are tired of Getting sponsered,You decide to get your own team together,thing is Your rep just dropped to zilch.
You spend alot of the game shifting board sales,You get a couple old friends on Your team,and get this,for once,You get to make more than 1 character a playthrough.
Your team consists of a manager(Reda),the leader(You),4 customizable teammates,and the camaraman(Shingo).
Of course You gotta get back in the mags,so not only do You film and shoot ads for Your team,but You get coverage in skateboard mag and thrasher,do hall fo meat challenges,which are fun challenges where You kill Your skater as painfully as possible.
By the time your finished,You will have finally beaten that shark,won the maloof money cup,the GVR contest,and many more,eventually You will be throwing yourself off the monster megaramp.
Eventually,more than 150,000 boards have been sold and Your ontop of the skater world again.
10/10

Gameplay: its the same old flickit with a bit of a mix of tricks,its quite fun.
New to the series is making Your own skateparks! I find myself spending hours in this,its very entertaining and the best thing is with xboxlive or PSN You can get more board sales if people skate your park! So make it killer,or You can just skate with friends,its all good.
If You aint confident with your anologue sticks coach Frank will whip You into shape with skate. school,by the time Your done You will have 2 new characters,Frank and Benny Fairfax.
Not only thatm,You'll be worthy of finishing this game in a few hours,probably wont though :P
However,watch out of own the lot,the idea of owning your own peices of Port Carveton and winning new pro's for freeskate sounds good initially,and it is until You get to the trick lists,if you want the better skaters You may as well practice for 2 hours at skate. school cause You probably wont do them first,2nd or 3rd try.
8/10,its the same pretty much,which is a good thing,just tweaked to near-perfection,enjoy it people.

Graphics:I dont think I need to say much more than they are spectacular,for a 2010 game,they are average,but overall,that are brilliant.
10/10

Online:Lets start shall we?
In online You can,as the motto says,team up and throw down,1up,freeskate,You got everything and more,You can for once skate with friends without 2 controllers to one console,its spectacularly fun and worthy of a medal,my favorite,of course,is making my team graphics,my own skateparks,and most of all my own deck graphic,so my board is truely my own.Or,Your board is truely Yours :P
However,the only downside is that online is the ONLY way to play multiplayer,as the party play mode was removed,sadly,so if you havent got PSN or XBL,Your on Your own.
9/10

Overall its another great game to a great series,we may be without skate 4 but hey,if they finished they finished on a high note.
10/10
In these eyes of mine
