I’m Destroying the World by GuttermouthĪdmittedly, this is a fun song, but it’s a pretty transparent Primus ripoff. It gets good in its second half, but it’s cut off by the game’s timer.ġ3. This early song by the hugely successful funk rock group is a puzzling choice, it’s not one of their better known songs and is honestly not very good. Fight Like A Brave by Red Hot Chili Peppers This song proves why they were a one hit wonder.ġ4. Yet another trashy nu-metal song that grates heavily on the ears.Īlien Ant Farm were best known for a nu-metal cover of Smooth Criminal. This is one of many regrettable Nu-metal songs on the soundtrack, and it’s by far the worst. Nu-metal was an embarrassing genre that crossed metal with rap, and while that doesn’t sound bad on paper, in execution it was a genre pioneered by untalented white bros who wouldn’t know a good hook if it hit them in the face. Instead, it’s a boorish and ugly track that relies on stale pop culture references and a truly loathsome vocal. House of Pain was a one hit wonder act best known for Jump Around, one of the best hip hop songs of the 90s, but sadly I’m A Swing It is no Jump Around. Generally the Pro Skater series has proved adept in picking excellent rap music for its games but 3 definitely has several duds. It’s got a very similar vibe to Get Dirty, proving that off-beat vocals and awful beats were inexplicably popular in the early 2000s. KRS-One’s loud and annoying vocals dominate this annoying track. I can’t imagine having to listen to this more than once. Thank god they didn’t put this on the PS1 version due to memory constraints. So while we wait for this inevitable remaster, why not rank the 17 songs featured on the soundtrack?Ī truly terrible (and misogynist) song with a PS2 sponsorship, dog imitations, an off beat instrumental and a vibe that doesn’t fit the game at all. Following the release of a remaster dedicated to the first two games, a Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 remaster seems likely, possibly in unison with a Pro Skater 4 remake too. The series reached its peak with the third installment, released on most major platforms, and featuring a soundtrack packed with punk, rap and metal. The Tony Hawk Pro Skater series was a series of 5 games, with the first being released in 1999 and the most recent in 2015.
