Capturing footage for a video and ended up doing a whole playthrough with Demoness and X-Ray. Was also testing emulation for Xbox games.

Remains one of my favorites in the pro skater series. May not have as many mechanics as the rest of the series does but it absolutely nails the classic style and perfects it with very few levels that miss (cruise ship could be better but it's a fun final level). The difference in how characters feel, the game constantly being a dopamine hit of reward after reward, level after level, character after character. It just gets what I feel the first two almost had and drives it up to such a fun to replay degree. This is classic THPS perfected.

Controls like a dream and tons of customization for tricks, characters and boards. It just hits in all the right ways. To me it's the perfect arcadey skateboarding game (right next to Underground and American Wasteland).
