Since first rolling onto PlayStations in 1999, the Tony Hawk skateboarding titles have lead the way for an entire subgenre of "extreme sports" video gaming. American Wasteland is designed to pull away from the pack, by offering a wide selection of customization choices and bringing its environments to life with new technology. American Wasteland's highest scoring trick is probably its sprawling, freely-roamed game world, which is the size of a virtual metropolis, and can be traversed and explored from one end to the other with no breaks or load times.

Set in the "birthplace of skate culture," Los Angeles, CA, American Wasteland features trick-heavy challenges in a Grand Theft Auto-styled urban playground, through which players can travel anywhere and choose from (or ignore!) numerous story- and side-missions they find along the way. For the first time in a Tony Hawk game, players can choose to ride BMX bikes throughout the entire adventure, but there are plenty of new tricks available for veteran boarders as well.

Features
Select a board or a BMX bike and ride through a wide open, free-roaming Los Angeles
Customize your character's look, deck, and trick set before hitting the pavement
Earn cash to spend at barbershops, tattoo parlors, clothing stores, and more
Punk-themed soundtrack featuring My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and other artists
Online support for up to eight players



  MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

No levels. No load times. Just never-ending action that doesn't stop until you leave the game!

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland gives you - for the first time ever in a Tony Hawk game - the freedom to skate or bike, throughout a rich, expansive open environment.

Once you arrive in Los Angeles, the vast city that gave birth to skate culture, the sky's the limit as you progress through the Wasteland story and choose missions that will have you immersed in the action without ever skating the same line twice!
