Skateboarding seems the same in American Wasteland
The Classic mode is the same as previous Tony Hawk. Complete challenges and gain access to different levels when you complete a certain amount of challenges. The graphics are nothing to drool over. They resemble xbox and Playstation 2 graphics. They do not represent next-gen standards. If you are looking for a new and innovative Tony Hawk game, this isnt what you are looking for. Best bet is to wait out for the new Tony Hawk Project 8, but they intend on doing the same thing again, with the addition of Nail a Trick.
