The question of which Tony Hawk game is best is one that could run and run, likely until Activision's prolific licensing deal with Hawk runs out, but every one has merit thanks to the core of enthralling combo-based hi-score play that's present in each. The earlier games in the series were the most basic, but still hypnotic; the latter Hawk titles were obscured somewhat by the ungainly introduction of storylines, and an intimidating abundance of new trick manoeuvres. THPS3, before anything else, is the best focal point for a reflection on the series to date."
