The game was released on October 18, 2005 for PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube.

The Nintendo DS version of this game, American Sk8land features Wi-Fi capabilities, being the first third-party game to have online support.

Features

Story Mode

In THUG1, you were a rookie trying to make it as a pro.

In THUG2, which essentially carried on from THUG1, you were a pro-skater competing in a competition between teams led by Tony Hawk & Bam Margera.

In THAW, set in a different universe where the previous adventures are just popular games, you're creating/fixing up Iggy's Skate Ranch. As the story progresses, you collect many items for the ranch, and take part in Tony Hawk's AmJam.
