We've got some awesome new screens for the DS Tony Hawk game - American Sk8Land. Check them out inside!

Designed to take full advantage of the DS hardware, Tony Hawk's American SK8Land is the first 3D Tony Hawk game experience for a Nintendo handheld system. Featuring a unique cell-shaded art style, players must prove themselves to Tony Hawk and other legendary pros as they undertake hundreds of skating goals set in seven popular areas of Los Angeles and restore the ultimate skate park, American SK8Land, to its former glory.

The game challenges players to complete signature skate tricks that have been made popular by the Tony Hawk franchise, and also includes exclusive features such as wireless online multiplayer, voice in-game and touch-screen capabilities.

In wireless Multiplayer, two players can go head-to-head via a wireless connection and battle through several modes: Trick Attack, Score Challenge, Combo Mambo, The Price is Wrong, Horse and more.

Fans can create a handheld Hawk community where they can skate head-to-head against other DS players online, post and download high scores and statistics, as well as replay "ghosts," which teach gamers new skate runs, combos and other moves done by others in the WiFi Hawk community. Players can also play against the "ghosts."

Players can record voices that replay in the game when players bail, perform a special trick, or clear a gap.

The top screen will display the main gameplay, while the bottom screen displays information such as a level map with collectable locations, dialogue, tips and hints. It can also be used to draw things in the "Create-A" modes, such as deck art and graffiti tags). The bottom screen provides a canvas and color palette, while the top screen shows the finished decal (rotating deck, logo).

Special moves can be pulled off vida the touch screen, as during gameplay the bottom of the two displays will present players with "trick slots," which slide in or out depending on whether the skater's special meter is full. Special tricks may be executed when one of the slots is touched. Players can customize their "trick slots" by assigning tricks from a list available via the skate shop.

There's also the Create-A-Park mode, where you can build the park of your dreams. Earning money through the story mode means you can buy new equipment for your custom skate park. More than 1000 different skate park designs are possible using the intuitive touch screen based create-a-park editor!

The game also boasts a mini-game "Freak Out!", and even the Classic Mode from the old console games, where skaters compete against a timer to clear as many objectives as possible in two minutes.

The game is out this Autumn/Winter, but until then, here's some new screens for you to check out:
