    Bob Burnquist skipped out on being in Pro Skater 3 to be in this game. Think it’s safe to say he chose poorly.

      I sometimes wonder if the Data Design Wii shovelware game Kawasaki Jet Ski was the reason for why all Kawasaki mentions were removed in the Wii Virtual Console version of Wave Race 64. If that’s so, Kawasaki made a worse decision than Bob.

    Jak, as genuinely a long time fan who has grown with you, there is nothing that draws me faster to a video than one of your hawktober videos and am genuinely nostalgic about some of your older ones now and can remember exactly where I was in my life when I first watched them. Thanks for the memories

      Still is one of my favorite TH-camrs for his Punk attitude and basically being AVGN Australian edition, which he nails perfectly and being as honest and genuine about what he's experiencing while also having the odd gag here and there to really take it home, I hope we'll see more ridiculous and ambitious videos in the future like with the Croc and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger reviews, those were darn brilliant and wild man.

    The song selection for these videos is spot on. The Crash 2 ruins theme playing when Jak shows the ruins level, a Spyro flight theme when the skater is literally flying alongside a dragon, and so on... it's these little details that make this channel what it is.

    XGS (THE PS2 ONE, OBVIOUSLY) holds a special spot in my heart, all things aside. I used to play it a lot as a kid along with THPS4 and THUG, and while I understand it being objectively worse than THPS, it's still something I'd play just as much, and sometimes I pick it up over them.
    Amazing review, Jak. I always come to check out Hawktober.

    the INSANE thing about this game, is it has cloth physics. well. not really, its an effect, but STILL, it looks awesome to me and is such a crucial part of capturing the speed of skating. HOW HAVE NO SKATE GAMES ITERATED ON THIS. Aggressive inline is the only other game I've seen with it, I'm going to assume some people worked on both

    The biggest problem all these games had is the fact the the Tony Hawk games ever existed. Nothing ever came close to toppling the series until the Skate series came out. The Skate series is far better than anything Tony Hawk games have to offer. Too bad there hasn't been a new one in so long. Definitely looking forward to Skate 4. Though my expectations are super low since it's still under EA.

It wasn't very good, but it was a popular game as it was included as a free demo in gaming magazines of the time. It is very nostalgic for me and I'm sure others. Someone else reviewed it on YT but he was very unfair imho. Also I hope you check out the SSX series sometime.

    An average experience hmm.
    Ok there is a skateboarding game being a shooter for a level and then there is pulling off moved in the sky because of a gem. I could not stop laughing it's cool the first time I bet but otherwise probably eh, awkward/tedious to do over and over but still funny.
    Camera changes on GBA wow. If they did that in the PS2 game Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, old God of War style it would be horrible I get it's probably for effect to make it more clear what your doing in view than hardware as it clearly does an overhead camera but I mean that's just bad design.
    Pick 1 not 3-5 different views. It's like changing your camera perspective from first to third or the cockpit to different chase cameras because your kid sibling is being difficult not something you expect a game to do it organically and expect you to agree with it.
    Still Evolution Skateboarding ah the game with Snake, Great Quest Frogger and more. Hopefully it's better.
