THPS3...
This game is almost new to me now that I've played it on the box...
The goods:
Music... The soundtrack function of the box REALLY helps out the (by now) very stale soundtrack it came with... It basically only gets as stale as your own taste in music... This adds playability big time...
Visuals... This game is sooo much prettier than on any other console. Theres sooo much more detail in pretty much everything you see. It's almost unbelievable to me.
Physics... Somehow they seem slightly reworked, but in a very smooth way. Tricks are easier to follow now, and the control itself is just shy of that on PS2 (buit still more managable once you adapt to it)and much much easier than that of Game Cube's.
Load times... They are nearly non-existent, and the saving is over in a flash so you get back to your board much quicker.
Expanded... Did I mention youi now have a totally new level to achieve exclusive to Xbox?
The bad:
So far the only bad I've found is when creating a custom skater there is a bit of a load time when changing character looks.
All in all this system is much better than people give it credit for and I think you should all do what you can to try and play this title all over again ;)
