definitely they were the best, i wont lie american wasteland the tricks and stuff were awesome incorperating the parkour really made it stand out, but nothing is as good as the first 4
the first 2 i feel they were still trying to figure out how to really get the game up and running, 3 and 4 definitely is where the series kinda took off by letting people really have a feel for wat skateboarding is, now underground is good but the story mode isnt, underground 2 again like the first underground had its spots, but i feel like american wasteland was a true evolution, letting u get a feel for wat its like to grow up as a skater and transform into a legend, but 4 is definitely a must
