My son *loves* this game. Bought it for PS2, it was stolen, bought it for PSP, he loves it on that but missed the full PS2 version, so we bought this used copy from Amazon. You have to love a game a lot to buy the thing three times (the first time, the day it came out, we had to have it). This game has awesome tricks, great character customization, and some really fun places to skate. Highly recommended by all the 10 year old boys I know!

So far so good. The game hasn't grabbed me completely, but it should be fun for awhile.

I liked it

This was a pretty decent game, for you can get off your board, spraypaint, and all other cool stuff.but it's also pretty sucky,too!they lied when they said no loading, you have to load story,free skate, goin to other places in car/bus, and plenty of others.oh, and the grapcis suck!you go impossibly high, and when the movies come and it shows you kickin or movin stuff, they fly all the way to the moon

Overall, i would recommend THUG1, thats the best!

been there, done that

Very very dissapointing game! no load times?? SURE so skating through a glitchy plain corridor for a minute is not considerd a load screen?? or how about take the bus? ANOTHER LOAD SCREEN! why arnt the games just on skating? not killing hippies with dinosaurs? worst of the series

I've played since THPS2, and although I don't think anyone buys Tony Hawk games these days looking for shocking originality/innovative gameplay, this game will likely be the last of the genre that I purchase.
It feels shoddily done and quickly produced to make a buck from loyal fans...I consider this a scam. No more customization of characters in story mode? Glaringly worse, no more ability to be a girl in story mode? (yes, there are female fans out there..I know I'm not the norm, but throw me a bone...I don't get the point of removing it from a game) First 20+ missions forcing a character to "learn skills?" Poorly animated gray screen is subistitution for much hyped "no load screen"?
Come on, Neversoft...moves like this insult and alienate your fan base.

never ending fun!

My kids love this game, if they could they would play all day. They dont have to wait for it to download, it is just a click and there you are playing. You see they have a time limit of 30 min. to play there playstation so every minute counts, thats why they love playing this game.

Been there, done that

For almost a decade now, Tony Hawk licensed video games have been flooding the market with varying degrees of quality. The previous Tony Hawk Underground games were fun, and chances are if you liked those, you'll dig Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. The reason why is that not much has changed since the last time around. The game is basically identical to Tony Hawk Underground 2 with the exception of the there being no loading during skating sessions. This is nice, and it's about time that this was addressed, was besides that, there's really nothing new here. The game's storyline is lame, but it can be amusing now and then with the inclusion of BMX bikes to go with the skating. The graphics are decent enough, but nothing special, while the soundtrack continues the series' tradition of a good selection of varied tunes. The controls are easy as ever as well, and the game is easy to pick up for beginners. However, if you're a veteran of the series, there's nothing new here, and you're better off hoping that Activision gets their act together and actually decides to put some effort into their next Tony Hawk game for something really special.

OK so heres the thing Im actually a good looking 14 year old (ladies) mexican dude who wrote a kids review because I didnt feel like typing my email address.This is the best Tony Hawk game without counting THUG 1.It has great new tricks like the bert slide and all the flips.Career mode is all right but if you do buy it and you are looking forward to your american wasteland park at the end of the story mode dont its simply horrible.Keep sk8boarding and bmxing.

I got this game for christmas and i completed it about a week later which is quite a while considering it usually takes me a day or two to complete a game. Anyway although i've had it since christmas i'm still deeply immensed in the game having recently unlocked Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day!
I love the soundtrack on this game.(only because it contains Green Day!)
The only bad thing would have to be that on freeskate you cant go around all of LA like in the main story ,you have to change the 'area' to go to a diffferent part of town. One other bad thing would be park editor , not much has been done to improve this. COME ON NEVERSOFT WE WANT A DECENT PARK EDITOR FOR A CHANGE!
Over all this game is alot of fun and my favorite Tony Hawk game soooo far. A pleasant experience which should be enjoyed by all.
