A preview prototype of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the PlayStation 2, dated around two and a half months before the final build.
==Notes==

*There are no FMV's in this build.
*Instead of unique level loading screens, this build uses the boot loading screen as a placeholder.
*Only Career, Single Session, Free Skate and Create-A-Skater are selectable.
**In the main menu, "Tutorials" is located between "Network Play" and "Create-A-Skater" instead of between "Park Editor" and "Options" in the final version.
*The skater select screen in career mode does not show either the number of goals completed, medals obtained or decks collected.
*Some skater's appearances are different from the final.
**Most notably Geoff Rowley.
**Some skaters only have default and/or placeholder boards to choose from.
*There are only four levels in this build: Canada, Suburbia, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
*The physics in this build are less refined.
**Each timed run starts with the camera to the right side of the player.
*Some of the Career goals would be changed and simplified in the final version.
*Only a bare minimum of the trick assignment option has been implemented.
**However, all skaters are assigned all special tricks with combinations primarily using the Square button.
*A lot of the game's text is written in all caps.
**Notably the entire Create-A-Skater mode and "Score" in the HUD.
**The spin counter in the trick string is colored red.
*A total of seven songs are in this version of the game.
**Some songs can be found in a less censored form.
*A few extra skate brands not featured in the final version appear in this build, including Flip and Vans.
