I recently had the chance to spend some time with Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land (DS), Vicarious Visions’ handheld spinoff of Neversoft’s Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland (PS2, Xbox, GCN, X360). I was also able to chat for a bit with Vicarious Visions CEO Karthik Bala, who explained some of the considerations and decisions that went into developing the game for DS.
I am a massive THPS fan, but no handheld version has ever interested me. This one does have potential though, as it seems to follow the latest game very closely. Check out the full preview at ShackNews.
