Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

California, here we come. For the first time in the storied history of the Tony Hawk franchise, American Wasteland gives you the freedom to experience continuous skating and BMX action without exiting a level or waiting for load times as you explore a massive Los Angeles skateworld.

In a plot-twisting story that pays homage to '80s skateboarding and punk style, gamers play a young rebel who makes his way to the SoCal mecca of skateboarding, where he must prove himself to Tony Hawk, local pros and legendary skaters and participate in the construction of the ultimate, trick-filled skate park.The game allows players to skate and BMX from seaside Santa Monica to the star-studded sidewalks of Hollywood to the gritty streets of East L.A. as they customize and upgrade their characters, unlock new tricks and choose their missions without loads or levels.Tony Hawk's American Wasteland takes the action to new heights with expanded controls that allow players to pull off more sick tricks than ever before. New player controls, both on and off the board, allow for insane combos.

Bottom Line It's the best-looking Tony Hawk game to date. Add some new tricks to the already-solid gameplay the franchise is known for and you have an upgrade that's worth buying. And dig that classic soundtrack!
