    If the PC is your gaming platform of choice and you've been itching for a bit of skateboarding action, then American Wasteland isn't a bad choice at all, (until the next inevitable Tony Hawk's game, of course).

    Fine skating action and fearsomely addictive to boot. [Apr 2006, p.79]

The level design is very good, and adding on to the skatepark is fun. You can mix things up by riding a BMX and smacking people upside the head with a skateboard. The classic mode is rather short, but the story mode is good enough to make up for it. Final verdict? 9/10 Full Review »
