Tony Hawk is flying to the Nintendo DS in a handheld extreme sports game based on the upcoming console game by Neversoft/Activision. Players will be able to explore the exciting and diverse levels of the game from the perspective of a completely 3D free roaming camera. The players will also be able take part in the action with their own custom skaters, created with a new touch screen create-a-skater interface.

The main gameplay will take place on the top screen, while the bottom screen will display secondary information like trick text and dialogue. The player will use the touch screen to create custom graphics for skateboard decks, create custom graffiti tags, view level maps, perform tantrum recoveries and use the new context sensitive fly-out buttons for special moves. Levels will contain multiple transition points to new areas such as skate shops, a graffiti garage, a barber shop, clothing store or other levels.

The game has a pretty sweet new look, so check out the four screenies.
