The New Era's Review

Gameplay - 8.5

This Tony game excelled by a mile compared to The Pro skater and/or Underground series, this game was great for almost every aspect except for the story mode, and that's where the higher than slightly higher than average gameplay comes in. Tony Hawk games have definitely made a name for themselves in the widely vast video gaming world. Created by Neversoft, these games have actually never disappointed their costumers as far as I am concerned, but that's where the actual problem comes in, the gameplay, this game as some refer to it as is practically a gritty, bug filled skateboarding heaven, filled with practically ever kind of in game bugs, from your skateboarder looking gritty during a high air move to to him getting botchy during an inverted lip trick, which makes it nearly impossible to concentrate, overall, an ok eight and a half stars for THAW's Gaemplay

Sound - 6

This year's sound was er... how you say... very disappointing for...

THE GOOD:
Soundtrack Controls No load times Variety of game-play Bikeage Millions of ways to customize your character The amount of area you space you have to do whatever you want!

THE BAD:
Mediocre plot No girls in story mode Character designs are mediocre

SUMMARY:
Game-play - 16/20 The game-play is everything you'd ever want in a Tony Hawk game. It offers several new tricks. Trick customization is also available. But this game offers so much more than skateboard maneuvers. The latest Tony Hawk game offers no load times, and a whole city to skate through. That city, is Los Angeles. You are given skateboard, biking and even ditching both to just run around. Get pissed off every once in awhile? Smack someone with your board or chuck it in their face. Can't wall-ride to a building? Get off your board and run up the wall. The game-play has never before been as good as this in a Tony Hawk...

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, a good game to say the least.

Featuring the story mode and the classic mode, so that makes two good reasons for it being awesome already.
Classic mode, basically is re-doing levels from the Tony Hawk games on the PlayStation(one), it's pretty easy for people such as myself who have had experience playing on the first few Tony Hawk games.
Story Mode has another way, though it actually is a story and has more real life things to do, story mode is really interesting. The story of re-creating a skate park which was closed down years ago, stealing pieces to help re-build it etc. The only thing I see wrong with the story mode is not being able to do certain tricks until doing a mission where you are instructed on the tricks. Example; I love to do flatland moves (tricks whilst manualing) but I cannot do these moves until two thirds the way through the story mode.

Other than that, the game is good, two player mode is fun, a couple of new...
