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, you skate and perform tricks that in real life would re-define the laws of physics.

This outing sees a number of cool new additions, including the ability to switch to BMXs for the entire game, an expansive (and load time-free) Los Angeles cityscape, more tricks and moves than ever before and improved “Freak Out” abilities that see your rider destroying their board post-wipeout in a series of increasingly comical exercises in deck destruction.

Finally, the inclusion of in-game shops throw up a raft of customisation options from tattoos to clothing, and the soundtrack features a slew of decent tracks, including a remix from none other than Tony Hawk himself.

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 Tony Hawks American Wastland, 24 Sep 2005
    By Matthew (Flitwick, England) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
    Tony Hawks American Wasteland is HUGE, finally, after what seems like ages tony waves goodbye to the underground and starts looking up and what else his massively popular gaming series could achieve. It seems like the best idea ever now they explain that the next instalment of the tony hawks series is going to be a free-roamer, meaning no loading times.

    You start the game as a skater in los angeles, trying to become a pro and gain alot of money by becoming hero to zero and trying to restore a destroyed skatepark after you have been ripped off.

    The game is basically an extreme-sports version of GTA, where you can unlock certain parts of the city by progressing and getting better at skating. You can travel around the city fast via local transport and if you get bored skating around go talk to a local character, as they will give you a mission.

    Also this tony hawks has other amazing new features:

    You can ride BMXs.
    Missions involve more than skating (in one section you have to use stealth.)
    Change haircuts, buy shirts/hoody, and replace snapped boards.
    You get a girlfriend
    Use park-core or free-running as some people call it to get huge points.
    If somehow you ever get bored classic mode has stayed as a backup.

    All in all Tony Hawks American Wasteland is a must buy for anyone, even if you are not into extreme sports.

    4.0 out of 5 stars very good, 18 Feb 2006
    When it said there would be no load times and you could go as far as the skyline i had to buy it. but unfortunately this isn't quite true. to get to a different place you have to travel through a tunnel which can take quite along time[or you can take the bus which has loading time] and it still says 'don't do drugs' etc when you go out of the area which proves you can't go 'as far as the skyline'.

    but even after this slight dissapointment i still think it is a great game and the bmx thing is a good extra to the game.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, badly-ish executed., 26 Feb 2006
    The idea of one big city to skate around in sounds nice. Sadly, that's not the case at all. There are eight small, distinct areas of California to explore in Story mode, which are all linked up either by bland corridors or coach journeys. Also, unlike the THUG games, you do not get to use your created character in Story mode. Luckily, there really aren't any loading times, otherwise it would be a bit of an insult. It is fun to play, so credit where it's due, but it's not particularly challenging until the last level which is absolute murder on Sick mode. Conversely, Classic mode is almost impossible to complete, because you need every single goal finished in order to unlock the prize, which I haven't yet done. Sad as it is to say, the franchise now just comes across like it's flogging a dead horse. Bye.
