Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Preview

In a nutshell:
If you’ve ever played a Tony Hawk game, your expectations of American Wasteland will have been well and accurately managed: you’re a skater, and you skate. New additions for this outing include the ability to switch to BMXs, an expansive (and load time-free) Los Angeles cityscape, new moves and improved “Freak Out” abilities that see your rider destroying their board post-wipeout in a series of increasingly comical exercises in deck destruction.

The lowdown:
Although you can now also ride a bike, the familiar and understandably unchanged control system is as tight and responsive as ever and with the additional freedom to roam, enormous combinations of tricks are slightly easier to achieve than before. Graphically this is very much business as usual, although the Xbox 360 remix naturally looks by far the sexiest.

Most exciting moment:
Finding rails, cables, benches and vehicles to grind the hell out of has never been easier or more satisfying, and combined with the new handstand tricks can produce some memorable combos.

Since you ask:
As well as original music by artists from Chemical Brothers to Sham 69, American Wasteland will also feature an unreleased Tony Hawk remix of Bloc Party’s “Like Eating Glass”.

The bottom line:
It’s Tony Hawk pumped up and ready for action.

Manufacturer's Description

No levels. No load times. Just never-ending action that doesn't stop until you leave the game! Tony Hawk's American Wasteland gives you--for the first time ever in a Tony Hawk game--the freedom to skate, or bike, throughout a rich, expansive open environment. Once you arrive in Los Angeles, the vast city that gave birth to skate culture, the sky's the limit as you progress through the Wasteland story and choose missions that will have you immersed in the action without ever skating the same line twice!

Key features

  • Freedom to ride forever: No load times. No level-based gameplay. In American Wasteland, you travel throughout the vast urban terrain of Los Angeles including Hollywood, East L.A., and other landmark areas without restrictions or repetition.
  • Ultimate player control: more tricks and expanded controls than ever before!
  • New on the board tricks include the Bert slides, Natas spins handstands, and one-footed grinds and manuals.
  • New off the board tricks include wall runs, wall flips, and charged jumps.
  • Choose board or bike: for the first time, you can choose to ride BMX bikes throughout the entire game, with all-new physics, a BMX-specific control system and several BMX-specific goals.
  • Customise like crazy: enter and explore dozens of shops in-game to customise your gear and your look! Check out skate shops, barbershops, tattoo parlours, and clothing stores as you accomplish goals and earn cash.
  • Expanded online & multiplayer: for the first time ever, play Xbox Live in addition to PlayStation 2 Online!
  • New two-player co-op play available in classic mode, in which you can complete classic THPS goals alongside your friends.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Game, 5 Dec 2005
    This is a good game!

    Fans of the old style tony hawks games can play in classic modes. Fans of THUG can play in story mode
    Bits of the game seem alot harder than normal to me, but that could just be me. Shows great progression, there are no loading screens and you can skate anything. Great to challenge or play co-op with friends. Shame about no 4 player mode...
