Port Carverton is made up of three districts, Downtown, the University, and Industrial. Although the location is a more colorful and friendlier place than Skate 2 's de-saturated, and grainy streets, the gameplay provides a similar feel to the first and second games. The game takes place in the fictional city of Port Carverton, which embraces skateboarding, unlike the 'skateboarding is a crime' mentality portrayed in the second game.
Skate 3 is a skateboarding extreme sports game set in an open world place and played from a third-person perspective.
