Tony the Birdman flies

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for PS2, Xbox, GameBoy Advance, PC, PSOne and GameBoy Color was announced at the beginning of April, and has had fans choking on their own anticipation since then, but today is the first time gamers will be able to actually see the famous Birdman in his third incarnation. The video was originally shown at E3 in Los Angeles last month, but until now the public has not had access to it. Without further ado though, we suggest you head over to Activision's Tony Hawk website and its downloads section, where the video can be found at the top of the right-hand menu. It's a Windows Media download and is supposed to stream, but even on our 512Kbps ADSL connection it was a bit jerky, so if you would rather download the file on your own and view it later, right-click on this link and select "Save as…" from the drop-down list. The movie is a bit grainy, but it's clear that the visuals in Tony Hawk's 3 will be pretty exotic, and the character models look better than ever. The game boasts 10 "massive, living levels" and claims to be "bigger, better, online", which we frankly cannot wait to see. But we needn't tell you this, right? You've downloaded the movie at this point and need no cajoling to give it the once over. Enjoy. Related Feature - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 GBA Preview
