Skate 3 for Sony PlayStation 3 is a 3D third-person skateboarding game. This game allows players to assume the role of a professional skateboarder competing in various skate parks. While players can hone their skills in the game's prefabricated skate parks, Skate 3 allows players to enter into park-builder mode to design their own obstacle courses and customised skate parks. Skate 3 also allows players to win prizes and upgrade their skateboards, accessories, and outfits through an expansive marketplace. In addition to standard moves, this skateboarding game allows players to unlock a variety of secret trick moves through a series of complex controller combinations. Skate 3 also extends beyond the standard single-player campaign mode. Players can compete against each other online and unlock even more skate parks, challenges, and special tricks.
