Xbox Live® means different things to different people. For some, it is a perpetually raging battlefield where the world's toughest cyber soldiers can test their reflexes in tournaments, matches, and events. For others, Xbox Live Marketplace is where it's at for music, video, and game demo downloads.

Regardless of your leanings, there is one facet of the premiere online gaming service that can be utilized and enjoyed by all: the Achievements system.

Achievement Basics
Each title published for Xbox 360™ has its own unique set of achievements laid out by the game's creators, and each achievement has a point value. To earn the points, as an example, you may need to reach a particular score on your first play-through, or a meet a set requirement that changes the very way you approach the game.

Ultimately, it's up to the developer to break down the total number of gamerscore points and assign them to different achievements for that game. As you pass each in-game milestone and accrue more points, you may unlock even more secret achievements. This element of mystery rewards players of a persistent and adventurous nature and encourages them to explore every nook and cranny laid out before them.

Wasteland Achievements
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland offers 45 Achievements, adding up to the standard total of 1,000 points for your Gamerscore, and just like the game itself, the Achievement goals spawn several different categories. Here's what you can expect:

  • Number of Classic Goals: Classic Mode takes us back to the original Tony Hawk games, where you hit up high scores, collected S-K-A-T-E, hit up some serious combos, snagged the secret tape, and other more level specific goals. You'll get an Achievement for every two goals you achieve, up to 50.
  • Complete It:For the truly hardcore, you'll get another Achievement for completing every last goal in Classic Mode, and you'll score one for getting 100% throughout the entire game.
  • Level Scores:There are also plenty of gamerscore points to go around for setting some all time high scores in each level.
  • Online Competition: To help encourage expertise in each level, you can also net yourself an Achievement by competing online in each level against other players.
  • Story Progression: Of course, the main story mode isn’t left out, so you'll snag some Achievements naturally as you progress through the major plot points.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland gives you Achievements across the entire game experience. Whether you're into Classic Mode, online competition, or just want to focus on the story, you'll be picking up Achievements and adding to your gamerscore whatever you may do.
