User Rating: 7.3 | Tony Hawk's American Wasteland X360
By Targett | Review Date:
For those who missed out on the series and are curious what Wasteland tastes like, you say goodbye to x-games caliber skateboarding - where the laws of gravity apply - and say hello to 50 trick combo lines. Of most similarly styled games such as the Tony Hawk series, Tony has always been the benchmark of level design, and Wasteland is no different. Don’t be quick to dismiss the lack of creativity in the layout of rails and ramps, this game needs you to invest some time first to discover the clever connection of rails and ramps. What might seem like a wasted jungle of bars and wood at first, soon becomes an intrinsic masterpiece that can be used to string together million point combos. And take it from me, the “Who’s your Daddy” sense of gratification from landing your first millionaire combo is breathtaking to say the least.

On a visual scale Wasteland doesn’t stack up to games such as Halo, or in this case what is to be Halo 3. considering it’s a multiplatform game it gets the job done. The framerate runs smooth yet the game is plagued by a handful of small glitches that tend to get in the way, and it certainly doesn't showcase what the 360 is capable of.

You’ll spend most of your time in the expansive single player story mode but if you long for the classic styles that the earlier series brought forth, there is always mode to contend with. It’s ultimately two games in one, plus your online multiplayer. So gamers won’t get ripped off when looking for a good deal, but you might want to broaden your tastes if you were getting tired when the T.H.U.G. series rolled out.
