Tony Hawk's American Sk8land

Tony Hawk's American Sk8land is the handheld version of American Wasteland, the seventh installment in the Tony Hawk's series. It is the first part of the series for the Nintendo DS. American Sk8land uses cel-shaded graphics and was developed by Vicarious Visions, the developer of the Tony Hawk games for the Game Boy Advance. The game is based on its console counterpart American Wasteland and features the same soundtrack, many of the same environments and characters. The top screen displays the actual gameplay, while the touch screen shows an overview map of the area the player is skating in, as well as icons to easily perform tricks. The touch screen is also used to create skateboard artwork. In addition to the DS features, you can use the DS microphone to record your own sound clips for the game. American Sk8land was the first Nintendo DS game published by a third-party publisher to support Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, the online service for Nintendo DS. Players can play Trick Attack, Score Challenge, Combo Mambo and The Price is Wrong. Players can also upload or download graffiti, board art, high scores and replays to one of the servers and regularly download new objectives to complete.
