Tony Hawk's American Wasteland review

Gaming's best (and only) skateboarding franchise is still the one to beat

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Part of THAW's Xbox 360 upgrade is full Xbox Live support, which offers a dozen games plus a free-skate mode that's basically a chat session on wheels. PS2 gamers have enjoyed games of King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, and the self-explanatory Slap! for some time, but that just means they're all honed to perfection now that they're finally on Xbox Live.
