American Wasteland is the first game in the Tony Hawk franchise that advertised and allowed the possibility for players to play in one vast level via story mode, which actually seamlessly connects a number of levels without loading times in between, along with also being the first game in the series that allows you to freely commandeer stray bicycles and perform freestyle BMX techniques with it similar to how you can with the skateboard.
