One of the best games in the entire Tony Hawk series is just to easy to play.
User Rating: 9.5 | Tony Hawk's American Wasteland PS2
Well, if you are a hardcore veteran of Tony Hawk games, then you will think that this game is to easy to pass. There is just not much challenge. But if you are new to this, it may be the right game to start off with. The story is about you running away from home to Los Angeles to have your own life as a skater. There you meet friends who will help you become a champ. But one of them doesn't seem to like you so to return the favor, you try to pimp out his home by turning it into a mad skatepark. It isn't easy, especially since you have to go back and forth in different sections of Los Angeles trying to find pieces that will make the skatepark awesome. A cool feature that Neversoft has added to make the game interesting is the ability to use a bike. So you can roam around in a bike if you prefer, but it's all about mastering that skateboard. Like Tony Hawk's Underground 2, it contains a classic mode so you can complete challenges the old school way and get rewards for it. New tricks that are included in this game are stalls (grinding in place), natas extensions, double back/frontflips, the bert slide, and even a feature that lets you make, besides flips and grabs, grinds and manuals. But like I said, the game just seems to easy to be using so many tricks available. If you want it hardcore, play against someone else.
