This review is from: Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (Video Game)

In time for the holidays (and the debut of Nintendo's Wii), Activision released Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for the new system to take advantage of it's innovative control capabilities. While the end results were mixed to say the least, Activision ports Downhill Jam to the PS2, and the results here aren't much better. Contrary to previous games in the long running series, Downhill Jam does just what it's title implies. The trick heavy skate park based gameplay is transformed into that of a downhill racing game. Naturally you can play as legendary skater Tony Hawk, who is the only real life skater in the game for some odd reason. You can still perform a nice amount of tricks and combos while you race, but really, what's the point when the gameplay itself is so stale? The tricks are super easy to pull off, but are very repetitive to say the least. Not to mention that the race tracks themselves are blandly designed to boot and offer up some confusion in terms of "where the heck am I going?". The worst factor of Downhill Jam is undoubtedly the muddy graphics and textures and the unstable frame rate that make the Wii graphics look mouth watering. There are some pluses here though, albeit there are few. Like the previous Tony Hawk games, Downhill Jam offers up a nice soundtrack, and the game is easy to pick up and play for newcomers to the series, but like the last few games to come from the franchise, there isn't anything we haven't seen before, and seen done much better at that. All in all, Downhill Jam may be worth a look for fans of the series that don't own a Wii, but don't expect much at all from it.
