AMAZING!
This is an incredible game. The graphics are beautiful, the sound is sharp, and the levels are well designed. Another high point is the extremely addictive gameplay (so prominent in every Tony Hawk title.) I've played THPS 1, 2, and 4, THUG 2, and Project 8, although this is my first Hawk gaming experience on the Xbox 360. The graphics (despite this being the 7th out of 9 in the Tony Hawk series) are about the best I have seen so far... Of course this is because I've only played the previous games on PS2, Gamecube and N64. Despite this fact, this is wonderful.

The game is comprised of a classic mode (in which you complete classic challenges like collect SKATE, find the hidden tape, and achieve a sick score) and a story mode (much like the quite hilarious Underground 2.

BOTTOM LINE
If you are a teen looking for an amazing gaming experience, grab THAW for the 360 and be blown away.

WAY too unrealistic. I miss the old games..
I have been playing the Tony Hawk games since THPS 1 and loved it all the way up to THUG... But after the release of THUG they're just going downhill. I rented THUG 2 for the xbox and i felt like i was a clown with all the crazy, impossible stunts i was doing. I got American Wasteland because it was only 18 bucks and i thought it would be more fun on the 360. I found myself jumping backwards and running up walls as much as i was actually on my baord skating at 50 mph doing 9874 degree backflips. I don't see how that makes the game any better, honestly. The graphics are a little better and even though project 8 is out i still find people online most of the time. I also got my gamerscore up a good bit from this game too. Rather than buying this game, however i suggest buying "Skate" by EA. This game is EXTREAMLY realistic and you actually feel good when you land a double kickflip off a rail. Personally though if you feel the need to play a tony hawk game, id just play tony hawk 4 or THUG because at least i dont find myself accidently doing backflips when i just want to slow down like in American Wasteland. Overall i think it's still a fun game for people who are new to the series so i can't just give it 1 star. However i got bored with it after the second time i played it.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland XBOX 360
Well worth the money, overall an excellent game, utilizing what made the originals so good in the first place...

great addition to the series
The graphics might not be the best out there, but this game is fun! This is just as entertaining as any other Tony Hawk game in the series. If you are planning on doing the absolute minimum requirents and playing 10 hours a day, then I guess you could say this game is really short. I play casually and actually try to accomplish all the extra goals and I didn't find this game short at all. Now that the price is down from $60, I would definitely give this game a shot if you are a fan of the TH series.

Ahhhhgggggg
I got this game because my girlfriend wanted to play it...It continually locked up, and many glitches such as getting stuck in a wall and not being able to remove your skater. Really the game is not as fun as they used to be. Not to mention I thought the park editor would have advanced considerablly on the 360 but it has not...
