User Rating: 4.5 | Tony Hawk's American Wasteland PS2
I've played most of the Tony Hawks games and my favourite would have to be the two underground games. I'm not really sure why it wasnt this one. I guess the levels were too normal with no real different aspect. Or it could b my taste changing.

Anyways this game is good with its 'Sims like' part with clothes and stuff.

The thing i didnt really like was the disaperance of cars and stuff. This was a good part of the game that made it that extra bit fun. But they took this out so they could 'go back to the roots of skateboarding.'

The thing that sorta replaced cars was a bmx bike, it was alright but still a bit boring.

The graphics of the land are alright but the people are downright ugly and mutated and some of the objects lack things like texture.

And one of my least liked parts of the game as it always has been is the controls. The rapid pressing of buttons that had to be timed almost perfectly for it to work.

It's still an alright game but it lacks the personality it once had of downright rampage.
