Tony Hawk's American Wastland is a great game. It isn't my favorite Tony Hawk game. It's just like the rest. The graphics are the same, the story mode isn't much different from the underground series. American Wastland has a lot of first for the Tony Hawk series however. No Loading screens, tricks and characters. If you are looking for a fun skateboarding game, I would suggest getting Tony Hawks Underground 2.

This is my all time favorite game from my favorite series! That doesn't mean the game is great in general however. To start off the graphics and character/setting animations are a joke, I know it was 2005 but this is for a next gen console they couldn't done way better in this category. The soundtrack was awesome and definitely deserved IGN's best soundtrack of 2006 with great bands like Green Day, The Bravery, Fall out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Rise Against, and many others you'll definitely be entertained while playing this great game. The story was really good for a Tony Hawk game it was surprisingly long and made sense. A lot of the missions were extremely easy for us veteran Tony Hawk players but some offered some challenge. Classic mode brought back memories of past Tony Hawk games and levels. This was a lot harder than story mode but was short, one or the other i guess :/. Xbox Live play is fun and a nice feature that old Tony Hawk games lacked. It would've been nicer to make a party a play easier and if it had servers from different areas like PC. The game modes are very competitive, you can tell just by watching videos of people on YouTube enough said. Overall it's a great game that will keep you playing for hours, unless of course you get an RROD :( !Read full review
This game is solid. Everyone knows the tony hawk franchise, gameplay, controls, etc. So it is easy to adapt to. You can customize your character with tattoos, clothes, hairstyles, and skate gear. This is basically Tony Hawk's underground with better graphics. It's worth the money, a definite solid title.
American Wasteland is the best of the Tony Hawk's Underground series. I had it for PS2 and I just had to get it again when I switched to the Xbox 360. The story line is awesome and the characters are really unique. It is a BIG game with many things to do. The addition of the bicycle was pretty cool. The soundtrack is absolutely awesome! Many of the tasks are very easy, while others will challenge even seasoned players. if you are an achievement hunter you will enjoy this game as well. Some of the achievement are very easy and worth quite a few gamer points. Overall I recommend this game to everyone. Even if you've never played a Tony Hawk game, you will be able to catch on and enjoy it.
I love this game cause it brings back childhood memories of the tony hawk franchise that I knew growing up. If you love to skate board then you will love this game
