The best American Wasteland game and the best portable Tony Hawk game ever!
American Sk8land is the DS version of Ameican Wasteland for PS2, Xbox and GC. This game is amazing and is definately not just a port!
Gameplay: Really slick and smooth which makes it fun and simple and easy to learn and play. It's very addictive and is great to pick up and play when your bored, on the plane or in your car. The massive free-roaming environments are also superb!
Graphics: Tony gets cel-shaded and it works like a dream with the slick gameplay. All the environments look great as do the characters and the cut scenes work like a comic book as seen in Ultimate Spiderman. Activision is really getting into this cel shaded stuff!
Sound: The cut-scenes contain full voice over and the quotes in the gamplay sound good. The soundtrack is great and the ability to record your own cath phrases while playing using the mic is genius!
Value/Lifespan: There's loads to do with story mode, classic mode, multiplayer, online and just cruising round the city. You could also spend hours just creating skaters, designing borads and graffiti tags and recording voice over!
Overall this is a great game and any DS owner should certainley check it out, wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to buy it. An instand classic for The Nintendo DS.
