    I thought this game was very entertaining! Even though I thnk they should of lowered the difficulty a litlle lower beacause I found it quiet challenging.

    This was my favorite Tony Hawk game and the franchises peak. Great park creator, cool character creator, and a goofy but simple story with a predictable ending. While a large chunk of the levels are from older games ranging from THUG2 Remix for the PSP to THPS1 on the N64, I didn't know until later and still don't really care. It's a solid title and more of the same great game.

    It is masterpiece
    IMHO, this game is so underrated and deserves higher score, as much as THUG2

    Regardless of how it looks or sounds, American Wasteland just feels like a step backwards from previous Tony Hawk games.

    It's fun, just not next-gen sparkly. [Jan 2006, p.62]

    If you've been away from the Tony Hawk franchise for a few games and just dropped a bunch of cash for a 360, it's time to get re-acquainted with the King of Extreme Sports Games.
