Tony Hawk on N-Gage (E3 2003)
We've got the first screenshots of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in full 3D running on the Nokia N-Gage.

Although during Nokia's N-Gage announcement earlier this year there were some doubts as to how powerful the console is going to be, especially compared with the Game Boy Advance, so far the Finnish company have done a good job dispelling these worries at this year's E3. Having previously shown a near-perfect port of Sonic Advance (known as Sonic N), to prove that it could match the GBA's 2D capabilities, they've also gone onto display titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater which demonstrate the hardware's superior 3D graphics.
With a game such as Tony Hawk's, providing good player-character interaction and fast responses to the player's reactions is vital, so often when these types of games appear on handhelds they're kept strictly in a 2D or isometric view which will run fast enough on the hardware to deliver the fast gameplay required. However, Nokia seems confident that they're console is fast enough to provide both the gameplay we know and love from the next-gen titles, as well as graphics matching those of the early PSX games. If they can fulfil their promises then there'll be few doubters of the console's power, and these early screenshots certainly indicate an impressive level of detail in both the characters and the surroundings. However, how well the game's controls will map to the N-Gage's buttons, let alone whether the engine will tick along and a good frame rate, remains to be seen. We hope to have further details closer to the title's October launch.
