    Fun game, but it seriously needs the option of playing a female character in storymode. Just not the same with the wrong gender.

    I didn't played it yet, because I'm waiting till December, so i can buy it for PC. I'm already looking forward to it! I just gave it a 10 because I love all the Tony Hawk Games, and I know this one will be very good too!

  1. THAW is a step backwards, with its uninspiring Story mode being mostly to blame. The PC version suffers even more thanks to it being the recipient of such a sloppy conversion.

    If the PC is your gaming platform of choice and you've been itching for a bit of skateboarding action, then American Wasteland isn't a bad choice at all, (until the next inevitable Tony Hawk's game, of course).
  3. There's nothing significant to recommend this over the previous ones if you already own one. If you don't then this is a good introduction to the series.
