Tony Hawks american wasteland

Review

This game is one of the huge series of games brought out in the 90’s they have changed considerably since the original games changing skateboard moves art work design places story lines and more this is one of my favourite alongside tony hawks underground. This game has a really good story mode that travels all around America showing real places around the world but in virtual mode. Meaning you can skateboard around the American skating hotspots without even leaving the comfort of your own room. This game has an incredible soundtrack much like the other tony hawks games. Plus there is a new spin on the design of this game a little more animated which may make it a little less real life but doing this you can use some serious skateboard moves. This game has story line characters as well as professional skateboarders that you meet throughout the game which really brings in the skateboarding fans. Don’t worry if you’re not a skateboarding fan because with the free roaming and 2 player games including the well known graffiti game or horse which will make you want to play more and more to get better than your friends. If you’re a Xbox 360 fan who loves his or her achievements this is a game to play because you can easily get all the achievements but one which il help you out on the hint section of this review. There is also character creation mode, create a skateboard trick; create your board and tag and customize your characters look along the story mode. This game has two modes as well the story mode which is straight forward and the classic mode which was like the original game like collecting the skate letters and doing certain tricks and hitting high scores which is always fun to beat. This game also includes BMX’s which is really fun because it’s a little different and there are even goals to complete on the BMX.

Hints

This game has many ways of playing it to win points and beat your friends with cool moves and skateboard tricks but there is one thing that will rack those skills into the skies and that is manuals or grinds use these to link as many tricks together to land huge points. Another thing is if you can’t hit a certain high score a single manual with loads of manual tricks contained in it like on the Xbox 360 x,x or y,y will double your score every time you change in the same manual or grind so that’s something to think about.

The great way to earn easy achievement scores on this game is host a game on free run and pick a level as soon as that loads up even if there are no people in your game you will get an achievement for example 2 “Live in the mall” if you picked that map if you do this with all the maps you will get each one by going into the menu and changing the level.

Also the high score achievements are sooooo easy just land a decent move on one level and your done then go to the next one and on and on until you have got all the high score achievements on every level.
