Title: StAnZo\'s Got... THPS3 Mini Review Inside...
Post by: StAnZo on November 29, 2001, 09:55:17 AM
Well i managed to score a copy today and in a word it\'s totally Awesome..

Iv\'e played the first 3 levels and it\'s super smooth with minimal borders (were talking Tekken Tag style here)
there hasn\'t been a hint of slowdown.. the main difference from the ps1 version of thps3 is that the speed
has been upped drastically.. i used to think that i was rather good at thps1 and 2 but na.na.. this game is
a lot tougher.. the graphics are absolutley rinsin\' , a constant framerate with no popup other than a couple of trees
or other unimportant objects but it\'s not noticeable.
you tend to fall off the skateboard a helluva lot easier than in thps 1 & 2 so that brings the difficulty up quite a bit.
also the chalenges are different from the ps1 version of thps3 so if youv\'e played that version then this is different
also the environments have gone under a few changes since the psx1 outing so it\'s fresh.

Any further questions are welcome..

Watch our for Ryu, he sees this and he is gonna tear into you so fast..

He feels threatened when other folks write reviews so just duck your head and run :rolleyes:

:eyemouth:

Game does rock though, some things piss me off, but its pretty fluid and the graphics are nice..

Hey Stanzo,

I got it today and totally agree with everything you say, it is a lot harder to stay on your board! I find it hard to judge the landings of ramps, and 7/10 times end up landing sideways and bail :(

Ah yes, another AAA game to buy.

Don\'t you hate it though when all the games are released just in time for Chrimbo, when you\'re money is stretched enough as it is?!!

THPS3, 007, Half-Life all in one day...

Then there\'s Devil May Cry, Pro Evolution Soccer, blah, blah...

Marquis, i agree m8.. my budget is seriously stretched.. i may find myself trading in some other bits to feed
my gaming habits. i don\'t want to do that really because i\'m enjoying everything that iv\'e got at the moment.

Actually... do you guys think that i should hold onto Silent Hill 2 once iv\'e finished it?

Oh and theres Jak & Daxter on the 13th... Damn! also after the demo on OPSM2 on the 5th
