...Game title: Tony Hawks American Wasteland Format: PS2 Genre: Extreme sports/skateboarding Certificate: 16+ Contains: Mild violence, mild language and a bit of blood Developed by: Neversoft Published by: Activision Players: 1 or 2 players Memory card usage: 134KB minimum Other information: Network adaptor (Ethernet) compatible 2 - 8 players, Enhanced with Eye Toy USB camera Well Tony Hawks American Wasteland which I will be calling THAW from now on is the 7th game in the series. It all started way back on the PS1 with the first in the series Tony Hawks Pro Skater. Tony Hawk was just making it big or (bigger if you like) on the skating scene by landing the first 900 degree spin air trick. This spun off the contract to make a game with his name on it. I came across this game from a friend when I first started skating... Read review

Advantages: Tony hawks portable!, Good as other tony hawks games, Cheap!
Disadvantages: Controls can be tricky, no level editor

...---STORY--- Tony Hawks and Bam Margera are going head to head with skaters specially selected for a competition road trip around the world with no media, just pure skating fun. You are one of those chosen skaters and you will have to skate to win the competition and to stay with the teams or you will be sent home. ---THE GAME--- The story is great and humourous with the two competing teams often playing pranks and jokes on each other to even the odds and to create interesting challenges. There is all the usual Tony Hawk extras except for the level editor! You still get the multiplayer modes and you will also be able to create you own goals, skater, board and spraying logo. The wireless multiplayer is great and you will have loads of fun playing with any friends who also have the game. Some of the multiplayer games include... Read review

Advantages: Smooth Gameplay, Detailed Graphics
Disadvantages: Soundtrack could have more songs

...After purchasing this game, I could not wait to rip it open and start playing. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is solid and smooth. Tons of levels, tons of skaters, tons of fun! After only a year of relasing Tony Hawk 2, Tony Hawk 3 was released and has already became one of the most popular games the Playstation has ever seen! First of the Gameplay: This is what makes the game fun, the gameplay. The gameplay is for the most part easy to figure out (just like anything else, takes a while to master). The trick system as you knew it in Tony Hawk 2 is almost entirely the same -- grind, flip, grab, manual. The new "revert" command is a significant addition, but it doesn't feel as big a leap ahead as the manual was in Tony Hawk 2. It's a new dimension nonetheless, though, enabling you to combine air and lip tricks off... Read review

Advantages: Well written, comical and informative
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit formulaic

...The title of this review is taken from Tony Hawks's website. Apparently some people mistook the author for Tony Hawkes, the skateboarder, asking him questions like what is your favourite move, how many boards do you own, etc.. You can read the replies on his highly amusing website. Someone has even done a mock up of the skateboarding computer game - Tony Hawkes Prowriter 2. Anyway, back to the review. Tony Hawkes gets involved in a foolish, drunken bet, which involves lots of travel, and is full of insights into foreign culture. He nearly comes a cropper, meets lots of eccentric characters and leaves us in suspense as to whether he succeeds until the final chapter. (Sounds familiar? - same plot as Round Ireland With A Fridge and One Hit Wonderland). Then again - if it aint broke, why fix it? In this case, Tony has to beat... Read review

Advantages: Amazing detail/Graphics and it can last forever
Disadvantages: the series is getting slighlty tedious now

...Recently I brought myself a copy of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3, when I brought the game I was a bit sceptical,after all it is the third game in a series and games like this are normally tedious after a sequel,but I gave it a chance and truly enjoyed it!! The game is the third in the series, it is a skateboarding game under the name of Tony Hawk one of the most legendary skaters there has ever been(Until about three years ago I used to skate so I know a fair bit about skating etc). In the game you can choose between 12 pro skaters:Steve Caballero,Kareem Campbell,Rune Glifburg,Eric Koston,Bucky Lasek,Bob Margera,Rodney Mullen,Chad Muska,Andrew Reynolds,Geoff Rowley,Elissa Steamer and Jamie Thomas. All of the skaters have different abilities ands special tricks at the start of the game, however you can change everything about them... Read review

Advantages: Bags of fun, New things are always being discovered.
Disadvantages: Controls can be fiddly in the absence of a Joypad

...OK..... After a totally irrelevant review title, i'll try my best to earn back your faith. The World of skateboarding belongs to the masters - the likes of Bucky Lasek and Tony Hawk. Being one of only a few Skateboarding games out there, its refreshing to be able to master the board for yourself, and you will see in this highly recommended masterpiece. you, yes YOU, now have a chance to grind along rails and do kickflips. YOU can now perform highly dangerous stunts in the streets of Rio, and Canada, only to name a few. YOU can create your own skatepark, and then test them out yourself. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 is the offspring of one of the Playstations' most famous series. Made by the trusty neversoft and activision, you can expect the product to be of high-quality game-play and plain good lookin' aswell. but you dont have... Read review
