    If the PC is your gaming platform of choice and you've been itching for a bit of skateboarding action, then American Wasteland isn't a bad choice at all, (until the next inevitable Tony Hawk's game, of course).

    Fine skating action and fearsomely addictive to boot. [Apr 2006, p.79]

    There's nothing significant to recommend this over the previous ones if you already own one. If you don't then this is a good introduction to the series.

    While the gameplay in THAW is still sharp, this installment just seems to lack that special spark that made the series so much fun in the first place.

    It's impossible to dislike the game, especially if you enjoyed its predecessors, but it's also hard to appreciate such formulaic gameplay. [May 2006, p.98]

    THAW is a step backwards, with its uninspiring Story mode being mostly to blame. The PC version suffers even more thanks to it being the recipient of such a sloppy conversion.

    Essentially just "THUG 2" with corridors, and Elephant Man-ugly, too. [Apr 2006, p.89]

    Fun game, but it seriously needs the option of playing a female character in storymode. Just not the same with the wrong gender.
