The resurgence of skating video games from the 2000s has been noticeable lately, especially with the remastered editions of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and the long-awaited announcement of Skate 4. Prior to these developments, Skate 3 stood out as one of the finest skateboarding simulators available, offering players hours of entertainment through its intricate tricks and amusing ragdoll physics.
As a game that reflects its era, Skate 3 embraces the classic concept of cheat codes, offering a range of fun features from unlocking outfits to activating a zombie mode, and even transforming your character into Isaac from Dead Space.
While these cheats may not enhance your skills in executing kickflips, they showcase a high level of creativity. Below, you’ll find a comprehensive guide to Skate 3 cheats and instructions on how to activate them.
What is Skate 3?
Skate 3 is a popular skateboarding video game developed by Black Box and published by Electronic Arts, released in May 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is the third installment in the Skate series and builds upon its predecessors by offering an expansive open-world environment set in the fictional city of Port Carverton, where players can explore, complete challenges, and engage in various multiplayer modes.
The game features an innovative control scheme that uses a flicking motion mechanic to perform tricks, providing a more realistic skating experience. Skate 3 emphasizes creativity, allowing players to design their own skate parks and customize their characters, which adds a personal touch to the gameplay.
How to use cheats in Skate 3?
Using cheats in Skate 3 can enhance your gameplay experience by unlocking special features and abilities. To activate cheats, start by entering the game’s pause menu, then navigate to the “Options” section. From there, select “Cheats,” where you can input specific codes.
For example, entering “BAGEL” can unlock all skate parks, while “NBD” gives you access to all the tricks. It’s important to note that using cheats may disable certain achievements or trophies, so if you’re aiming for full completion, consider using them sparingly.
