Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 to make GameCube launch

Activision has officially confirmed that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 will indeed be released alongside the launch of the Nintendo GameCube on November 18. Developed by Neversoft, the game features Tony Hawk himself and 12 other professional skateboarders. In the game, players will have the opportunity to skate through eight massive levels filled with people, traffic, and interactive environments. Players will also be able to customize their own unique skater in the game's create-a-skater mode by tweaking such attributes as height, weight, skin tones, accessories, and tattoos.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the Nintendo GameCube will carry a suggested retail price of $49.99. Unlike the PlayStation 2 version, the GameCube version will not have any online functions.
