    i dont know why anyone can dislike this game, i honestly think that its the best ps2 game ever (and better than any game on another platform, for that matter), the BMX part played a v?tal part, as d?d the completley load?ng screen-free game world, and the soundtrack (? have fallen ?n love w?th astro zomb?es (my chem romance(covered from the m?sf?ts)) and ever fallen ?n love (thursday(covered from buzzcocks)))… Expand

    This is the best Tony Hawk game yet. I can't wait until the next one comes out.

    I was hoping this game would recover from THUG2. This game places more emphasis on skating...and biking too...but i still dont think there is enough emphasis on skating. now its about trashing l.a. and rebuilding an old skate park. i found myself questioning some missions and some of the new additions.

    This game has great gameplay but seriously users , just because it focuses more on skating than the other two THUG games, doesn't mean it's better. Also, it's not the best tony hawk game ever! The game is way too easy ,even on sick mode and most of the game's missions are all about doing one little trick to get a piece of the skate ranch! Cmon users and some critics it's not that great!… Expand

    It's not quite as fun as THUG2 but is certainly better than the year-old potato-chip staleness that is THUG.

    Actually my favorite game in the Tony Hawk series, this game is unique and addictive. It has the best Create-A-Park mode yet, as well as lots of places to skate. Yet again, Neversoft pulls off a masterpiece that is an instant recommendation. What else can I say?

    While the gameplay in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland is still sharp, and the game still looks and sounds just fine, this seventh installment just seems to lack that special spark that made the series so much fun in the first place.

    As a whole, the story, attitude and overall focus of the game is much better this time around than what we've seen from the two "THUG" games.

    It's the best Tony Hawk game yet, and as someone who's played them all to death, that's no passing comment. Better level design, better presentation and better overall polish, this is THE game to buy if you're a Tony Hawk fan.
