Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - PlayStation 2

Game was in great condition, and the price was also very affordable.

Works like new!!

Disk works great. I've play it for many hours now and it only froze once, which is a bit expected. It also came with the original case and instruction booklet!

Amazing game and classic one too. Love it and love the content in the game

The only issue I had was that the cover art wasn't in the greatest condition. But I was surprised to see that it was the special edition version of the game. It has extra content, such as the making of American wasteland.This was the one Tony Hawk game I played countless times and not get bored with each play through.

I didnt like it..Here's why---Graphics 2/10 --not good at all,Generic..Nothing more I can really say about it.Gameplay 0/10--I felt very weird about the whole thing,Felt very Generic,Clunky.Sound 10/10--best thing about the game,the best soundtrack out of any game I have ever played.Bottom line 3/10--The soundtrack saves it from getting a 1..Just move on from this and be glade they don't make these anymore.

After playing the Pro Skater and Underground games to death on my recent nostalgia kick, I decided to give American Wasteland a try, having never played it before. It's not perfect, but it's a lot of fun, and I'd say it's a step up from the previous game.I'll start with the pros. First off, the story is once again focused on actual skating, as opposed to Underground 2's premise of breaking stuff and pissing people off. It actually combines elements of both Underground games quite nicely; you've got your no-name skater trying to prove himself and build on his skills, with a fair bit of destruction mixed in; mostly to get pieces for the Skate Ranch. The story itself is a bit cheesy, but pretty freakin' hilarious in some spots, and interesting enough for me to want to keep playing to find out what happens next. The level design is very well done. People have complained about the tunnels connecting the areas of LA being glorified loading screens, which they pretty much are, but hey, I'd much rather continue my combo while the next area loads than just sit there and wait. Once you've unlocked everything, it's a lot of fun to just cruise around LA. It really does feel like you're playing one massive level. Changing your character's look is limited to walking into stores around town and buying clothes and haircuts and such with the cash you've earned completing certain goals, but the options look great; very lifelike. The addition of BMX bikes is a nice touch. The controls take some getting used to, but it almost feels like you're riding a real bike. Last but certainly not least, the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. Having modern bands do old-school punk covers might sound off-putting, but the covers are actually quite good. Add such classics as Dead Kennedys and Oingo Boingo, some nice hip-hop tracks, and throw in Green Day's "Holiday", and you've got yourself a super fun soundtrack. Another perk to not having to sit through loading screens is getting to finish the current song while the next area loads. Not only is the music great, but the skating sound effects are taken up a notch, and the voice acting is very well done. For you children of the 90s, you'll recognize Will Friedle (Eric from Boy Meets World) as the skater, and Cree Summer (Susie from Rugrats) as Mindy.Now for the cons. My absolute biggest gripe is that not only can you not use your skater from Story Mode in Free Skate, but you also CANNOT FREE SKATE THE ENTIRE CITY OF LA. Each area is treated like a separate level. you're stuck in Hollywood or Santa Monica until you switch levels through the pause menu. BORING! You should be able to free skate and do a high score run through the entire city after you put all that work into unlocking everything in Story Mode. The Classic Mode isn't all that great, either. There are only six levels, and the level selection isn't really spectacular. Minneapolis and the mall are my absolute favorite levels from Pro Skater 1, but the other levels are... meh. Maybe because they're all from that THUG 2 Remix I never played... I also REALLY could've done without all the fancy parkour moves. They look cool and all, but the controls are extremely annoying. I often found myself doing a bunch of front tucks in place while I was simply trying to jump up and grab a wall. After a while I sincerely missed the simple jump up--grab wall--shimmy over--pull yourself up. Finally, this is just a little thing that doesn't affect gameplay at all, but your skater in Story Mode really isn't all that likable, especially compared to the skater in Underground 1. He's actually pretty annoyingly cocky through most of the story. The Underground skater didn't just waltz into his first competition and refer to his opponents as "a noob like you". But I digress.Overall, if you liked the previous Tony Hawk games, you're gonna like this one. It has its flaws, but they don't really take away from the fun of the game. And the finished product of the Skate Ranch looks awesome.

I purchased this game because when I still had my PS2 I loved it! But when I received the game and tried to play it on my PS3, it would not work??? I called Best Buy and asked about the problem, and they said that only a few of the first PS3's released were able to play PS2 and PS1 games, but sadly they are not made that way anymore, and my PS3 was not one of the first ones. I do love this game, and I do recommend it, just be sure you can play it on your current gaming system before you purchase!

It Is a great game and the quality of it was just perfect !I am very satisfied with my product!

It was a little beat up and all, looked playable until i was greeted with a infinite black screen.
