I ll admit it, the Tony Hawk series hasn t interested me since Tony Hawk 2. Sure, I fired up Tony Hawk 3, found it was more of the same and put it down. I was admittedly skeptical before the Thursday presentation for American Sk8land and finally laid the skepticism to rest when I spent an hour with it on Friday. Sk8land plays like a Hawk title should. It s tight, responsive and slick. Vicarious Visions redid the art style, cel shading the entire world and characters. The storyline is kitsch '80s camp and the bits we were showed were great. The tricks are just as sick as ever, and Vicarious Visions is an early adopter of the new Wi-Fi tech Nintendo is using, you ll be able to upload top scoring runs to the net and similarly download runs to watch. The Visions team plans to supplement the game with additional content and will work with Nintendo to gauge how many people really are playing Wi-Fi online. Screens after the jump.
