I like this game. It is does soooo much more for the series than those sub-par THUG games. The only thing I didn't like about American Wasteland was that it included BMX, which IMO, was poorly integrated into the game. If they used the same engine as Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX, it may have worked. Other than that, this one is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the orginal series (i.e. not THUG).
