Tony Hawk's American Sk8land (THAS) is one of the best ( if not the best ) Tony Hawk games in the series. THAS has a different style graphics than any other Tony Hawk game; cell-shading. Cell-shading is a unique kind of graphic that looks like a cartoon. You either like this style or hate it, and I love it. Here is my review.

Graphics: 4.5/5. I love these graphics. They are cartoony and take on a new look for the Tony Hawk series. They are bright, nice, sharp, colorful, and just unique. Not very many games have this style. ( Jet Grind Radio, XIII, Killer 7, are some of the few. ) The only reason I don't give this a five is because there are occasional blurs in the graphics.

Sound: 4.5/5. The sound sounds very similar to the console versions. The soundtrack has songs from Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, and that's great, but it doesn't really include my favorites. The soundtrack features about 10-15 songs ( I think. ) and some are good, some aren't. The voice acting, the sound of metal-on-metal grinding, and the landing of wheels on pavement. The sound is great.

Control: 4.5/5. If you played the PS2 version of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, you will be familiar with these controls. ( Or if you've played any Tony Hawk game for that matter. ) Very easy to get used to, although there are occasional camera angle problems, and in replays, the camera angles are so bad you can sometimes not see yourself in the replay.

Fun: 5/5. Best DS game of the year next to Mario Kart DS in my opinion. This was a total stunner; I never expected Tony Hawk to be on the DS; and if it did, I would have NEVER expected it to be any good. Although the Wi-Fi isn't nearly as good as I'd hope, it's still okay. You will be beating highscores as much as you can as long as you can until you're hands cramp up. Great graphics, great sound, great controls, fantastic fun... all the elements you need for a great game are right here. Although the story mode is very easy ( and classic mode ) it is still an amazingly good game. Once you pick this game up, you won't put it down.

An actuall review with very few typos.

I cant be to trusted, because i just got this today and have never previously played a tony hawk game, but from what i have [layed today i can say this much, the gameplay is absolutely wonderful, the graphics are AMAZING for a DS game (the screenshots DONT do it justice, you have to see it in motion.)
the soundtrack isnt just blips and bloops but real songs by real bands..wow..its an amazing peice of technologie with huge areas to scate through..i would buy this is you have ot havent played the other tony hawk games.

Out of all the Nintendo DS games that I have owned, Tony Hawk American Sk8land was one of the best. Its cell-shaded graphics make it fun and refreshing compared to past Tony Hawk games. It's one of those games that you can just pick up and keep you entertained for hours on end when you're bored. Plus, with its WIFI option (allowing you to play against other players around the world), just make the game more fun!

Great gameplay and graphics, but poor online mode.

If you like Tony Hawk games get this one. If you haven't played a game like this before, it's fairly simple and easy, but it can be hard to perform long combos, even those long combos aren't necessary to advance throughout the game.
