Features
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland is the first game in the Tony Hawk franchise that allowed players to play in one large level without loading times in between, along with also being the first game in the series that allows you to "BMX". In the September 2005 edition of Game Informer, a map was shown displaying THAW's Los Angeles with an insert of an overhead view of the Boston stage from Tony Hawk's Underground 2 for comparison. The Boston level appeared to be about three quarters the size of one THAW area, with the exception of the "Vans Skatepark" and "Casino" areas.
The game features compatibility with the EyeToy USB camera to import the face of the player onto a created skater. The game also features the return of the Classic Mode, which allows the player to complete a series of goals in certain levels within a two-minute time limit. A Collector's Edition was released on the PS2 in which a pair of exclusive Classic Mode levels were made available.

“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
