Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam Video Demo

Posted Aug 3, 2006 at 7:22AM EST by QJ Staff

Ó


The first video demonstration for Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam has just popped up on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Developed by Toys For Bob, this is the first skateboarding game to feature downhill racing as well as use of the Wiimote. As you can see in the video, the controller is used to turn, and you can even shake it to get up from falls faster or activate boost. The Wii version will include a multiplayer mode with support for at least 2 (and possibly 4) people head-to-head on the same screen. As you can see, this release steers away from the same formula we're used to seeing in Tony Hawk games, and so far the developers are doing a great job with their innovative ideas.

I suspect that was supposed to be 'at least 2 (and possibly 4)'.



We won't know how much fun it actually is until a Wii is sold to the public, of course.

I like the fact that they are doing something away from the regular tony hawk games... seriously it's been the same game for 4 years now... So a nice fresh start and what do you want from the controller? It looks like they are using it just fine, but I'm not a publisher or a dev or even a marketer just someone who buys games

activision makes it better, not from different company that is wrong. it looks like the superman from n64 going through those blue rings the same. and how can you really play with a few buttons. what if don't want to use the wii senors.
