If the game was more challenging, it would have been the best game in the series.
User Rating: 9.5 | Tony Hawk's American Wasteland PS2
THAW is just nothing but perfection, in terms of gameplay. There are many new tricks to try out, a massive environment to roam around in, and more things to do to keep you busy playing this game. The only problem that everyone, including me, seems to complain about, is the fact that the story mode is just to darn easy. The story mode just doesn't have those amazing challenges that it used to have in the other games. The good thing about the game though is that it comes with another classic mode, which is perfect for those hardcore players of Tony Hawk games. The new addition of the bike makes it feel like you are actually playing a BMX game. Also, the way you play in story mode makes it feel as if you really are playing all over Los Angeles. Combine that and the fact that you can use a ridiculous amount of tricks and the bike and you won't be able to stop playing for hours. To make a long story short, THAW may be just another skating game, but the content in it makes the game worthwile for playing.
