It's a different direction for the Birdman, and it's a good one

Nov 27, 2006

It's becoming increasingly difficult to get excited about Tony Hawk. Every year we get the same game with crazy new goals and some gimmicky new ability that's supposed to make everything feel different. Usually it doesn't and Tony Hawk's Obligatory Release ends up getting tossed away until the next one comes. It's this continuous cycle that makes Downhill Jam actually stand out from the mainline series. The open worlds of previous games are gone. No more roaming about Los Angeles or abandoned ...

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam

When the series going downhill is a good thing...

Oct 31, 2006

Tuesday 31 October 2006 This Wii-specific Tony Hawk's arcade racer is less Pro Skater, more punk squabbler - a Wii-mote-steered party crasher targeted at instant appeal instead of its big brother's skate satisfaction. We had the chance to pick it up and play to see how pick-up-and-play it was, and found out that it's still not quite as easy as rolling off a hill. Even with the controls sensibly bunched around the Wii-mote's D-pad and 1 and 2 buttons, you'll need to put in some tutorial time to ... » Read Full Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam preview

Splitscreen software to skate slippery slope

Oct 9, 2006

Playing Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for Wii, it's hard to fight the feeling that it's the total opposite of the Tony Hawk you know and love. It's a race game at heart; using the Wii remote couldn't be more different than the typical Tony control we're used to; and it only has one real skater. Maybe that's why it came off as so refreshing at Activision's next-gen hands-on event in Santa Monica, CA. This is one of those games that you'll be playing with a bunch of buddies (provided someone foots ... » Read Full Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam preview

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam - hands-on

An updated look at the pro skater's SSX-style racer

Aug 24, 2006

Our first exposure to Downhill Jam's hilly raceways left us confused and concerned. The open environments were gone, replaced by all-downhill tracks that focused more on speed than busting out tricks. Upgradeable skaters had also disappeared, removing the satisfaction of slowly customizing your own character throughout the game. But perhaps worst of all, simply pulling off the signature Tony flips, grabs and grinds was a pain, thanks to only three buttons on the Wii controller - one of which ... » Read Full Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam preview

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam

All downhill, all complicated

May 24, 2006

Wednesday 24 May 2006 The basic premise of most Wii games is 'simplicity'. Therefore the trick-heavy, fully customizable Tony Hawk series may not be the best way to introduce people to the motion-sensing Wii wand. That's where Downhill Jam comes into play - it's a dead simple, all-downhill racer that's easy enough to pick up, but may still be hanging on to too many elements of the regular series. So you're a punky skater kid rolling down the absurdly hilly streets of San Francisco. The wand is ... » Read Full Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam preview

Wii: All downhill, all complicated

May 12, 2006

The basic premise with most Wii games is "simplicity." Thus, a trick-heavy, fully customizable Tony Hawk series may not be the best way to introduce people to the motion-sensing Wii wand. That's where Downhill Jam comes into play - it's a dead-simple, all-downhill racer that's easy enough to pick up, but may be hanging on to too many elements of the regular series. So you're a punky skater kid rolling down the absurdly hilly streets of San Francisco. To steer, the wand is held sideways like a ... » Read Full Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam preview
