Since first rolling onto PlayStations in 1999, the Tony Hawk skateboarding titles have lead the way for an entire sub-genre of "extreme sports" video gaming. American Wasteland is designed to pull away from the pack, by offering a wide selection of customization choices and bringing its environments to life with new technology. American Wasteland's highest scoring trick is probably its sprawling, freely-roamed game world, which is the size of a virtual metropolis, and can be traversed and explored from one end to the other with no breaks or load times. Set in the "birthplace of skate culture," Los Angeles, CA, American Wasteland features trick-heavy challenges in a Grand Theft Auto-styled urban playground, through which players can travel anywhere and choose from (or ignore!) numerous story- and side-missions they find along the way. For the first time in a Tony Hawk game, players can choose to ride BMX bikes throughout the entire adventure, but there are plenty of new tricks available for veteran boarders as well.

This package contains two previously released sports-themed Game Boy Advance games, courtesy of Activision: Tony Hawk's Underground and Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer. This handheld version of Tony Hawk's Underground offers players a "three-quarters" isometric view of the action. New characters begin in a suburban neighborhood, where they gradually learn trick move combinations through practice and experimentation, and increase their abilities as certain challenges are met. Later levels are set in gritty, urban locales that continue to encourage exploration and player-determined character development. Unlike earlier versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Tony Hawk's Underground (T.H.U.G.) focuses on player-developed characters instead of big-name stars of the sport, allowing handheld gamers to custom design their own personas and then steer their advancement through an open-ended system of stat-rewarding challenges. Ride the waves with six-time World Champion surfer Kelly Slater and eight other world-class professionals in Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer for GBA. Five gameplay modes are available: Championship (12 stages, three heats per stage), Challenge (Trick, Points, and Special), Tutorial (learn controls and tricks), Drop In (instant practice action), and Multiplayer (requires two systems, two game paks, and one link cable). Individual surfers are rated in balance, speed, timing, and air, and include personal data such as hometown, achievements, and age, as well as a short bio of each in the manual. Players perform tricks, barrels, grabs, aerials, and more at Bell's Beach, Trestles, Curren's Point, Sebastien Inlet, Mundaka, Jeffrey's Bay, G-Land, Pipeline, Mavericks, Waimea Bay, Teahupoo, and Jaws. To help smooth out the waves, onscreen displays include score, timer, combo, message line, special move meter, wave indicator, game mode, and difficulty settings.

Levels will be based on Las Vegas, Atlanta, Kyoto and Santa Cruz. Each of these will have secret and unlockable characters.
