If you've been looking for a Tony Hawk game for a handheld in which your skater is larger than an ant (oooh GBA....), look no further. This particular game is almost the same as console counterparts in terms of graphics, controls, and music (FINALLY), but the limitations of DS game cards mean that the story mode is short...really short. There are 8 levels, 7 of which have 17 goals, the last of which has only 15 goals. Each goal is pretty easy, and some are as simple as "Spine Transfer over this thing." You'll find yourself playing through the story in one sitting, but Classic mode is still there to keep you entertained. I have no router, so I can't rate the WiFi options, but other reviews say good things about them.
Long story short, if you're a fan of the series, this is one to have.
