Tony Hawk's American Sk8land

Tony bursts onto DS and GBA with cel-shaded graphics just like his home console offering Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. The DS version includes online play and this game is really moulded around one Tony Hawks community.

The main aim is to recreate the wonderful atmosphere of the "American Sk8land" skate park. One of the first skate parks ever to open in America where lots of top skaters use to hang out like Paul Rodriguez and Tony Hawk.

You and Mindy (local skate chic) try to repair the park. You do tricks in front of the locals of towns and citys around America and collect money. With that money you can purchase skate parts like grinding poles, ramps etc. You even get to win one at the Vans skateboarding tournament.

Along the way you meet up with lots of legendary skaters who teach you new tricks and hep the park. But when the owner of the park wants to sell the park for a new shopping centre (mall) you decide to make a video with all the great skaters, you doing all the suicidal tricks. The video sells, the skate park is happy. And Mindy gets her drawings and articles published worldwide in a skating magazine.

Other modes include "Classic" and "Free", the game has great rock music like Green Day etc. You can customize your board and spray graffiti. You can upload your highest scores on the Tony Hawks: American Sk8land website and download new goals for Classic mode.
