The first handheld skater feturing the Tony Hawk name to arrive on the DS. The DS's touch screen is put to use when activating special moves, time slowing power, and to paint your own graffitti tags. The microphone can be used to record your own sound bites that you can assign to when you land a move or bail. The game features two modes, story and classic. The classic mode looks back to the early Tony Hawk titles, putting you under the restraint of a time limit while trying to complete objectives. The story mode has you competing tasks that earn you money, which you can spend on your own custom skating warehouse. All of this is tied together by a nice looking cel shaded art style.
