The ability to unlock new boards and edit the tricks and stats of all 13 real-world skaters also adds great replay value. [Summer 2002, p.26]

Electric Playground

Although the game is much like Tony Hawk 2, overall this makes the better total package, and the addition of the multiplayer alone makes it worth getting.

Even if you already own the GBA version of THPS2 go out and buy this terrific title that more than does justice to the long lineage of Pro Skating greatness that has preceded it.

GameSpy

What's most important, though, is that the classic, exciting Tony Hawk gameplay is still very much in evidence. Taken in its own right as a GBA game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 soars high.

You'll get plenty of quick-fun fixes from just free-skating around and linking tricks. [May 2002, p.115]

Nintendojo

This will give you at least 30 hours of gameplay if you're a Tony Hawk enthusiast. If you're strictly 100% polygons, stay away and grab the Cube version, otherwise grab this and THPS4 too.

GMR Magazine

It's amazing how they managed to cram Tony Hawk into a cartridge, while keeping the essence of the game true to the console version. [Feb 2003, p.97]

GamePro

The complex environments from the console games are here, but the small size kills the visual detail, and the 3/4-overhead perspective makes those levels much harder to navigate.
