With some use of crude humor, this title earned a rating of T from the ESRB. This title features an array of online modes, including Own the Lot and Domination. With over 40 hours of content in the single player mode, you can play this game for hours at a time.When you've mastered the single player campaign, you can take on other players online. You can even create your own skate parks within the city. Along the way, you'll meet famous sports athletes like Pat Duffy and Chris Cole. Other missions will task you with doing specific moves for a photo shoot. In some missions, you'll pull off moves to gain points. Each mission in the game is different and will keep you on your toes. Each area features unique challenges and obstacles to overcome. There are three different areas of the city: downtown, university, and industrial. Unlike the previous games, this new city is covered in bright, vivid colors, and the citizens cheer you on. You can skate on anything in the city from train tracks to monuments.
The city of Port Carverton is a skater's paradise with the entire city rallying behind the sport. The Easy difficulty mode is a lot more lenient in the timing required to pull off tricks whereas the Hardcore mode makes the timing much more precise.
This game is the first in the series to feature difficulty modes as well. This tutorial mode is brought to you by actor Jason Lee reprising his role as Coach Frank.
You'll learn how to jump, trick, and grind off a variety of objects.
For newcomers, this Xbox 360 game has a full tutorial area that will teach you the basics. For example, a trick that requires a skater's foot to go from front to back would have you moving the stick from front to back. Each use of the analog stick requires precise movement that resembles how a real skater's feet would act on the board. Instead, you'll be pulling off tricks that real skaters use through the analog sticks on the controller. Your character can't jump 10 feet in the air or pull off an 1800 with ease.
The title had an original release date of May 11, 2010, one year after the previous title in the franchise."Skate 3" focuses on realism rather than outlandish skating antics. Your goal in "Skate 3" is to assemble a team of the best skaters in the city and to prove your superiority.
Fueled by his desire to be the greatest skating mogul, you vow to conquer this new city. Unfortunately, your character botches this jump and becomes the laughing stock of the city. Your character lets his ego get the best of him and goes for a jump that no one else has successfully nailed. However, what he finds shocks him as this new city is the complete opposite in terms of culture. After having become the top skater in San Vanelona, your character proceeds to Port Carverton to continue being the champion. "Skate 3" for the Xbox 360 picks up right where "Skate 2" left off.
