Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam is a downhill skateboard racing game that will be released on the Wii, Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance in Fall of 2006. It was made to be something new and unique to the Tony hawk franchise. The DS version has been confirmed to be online, while the others aren't, though they will feature a multiplayer mode. It was announced right before E3 2006, making it one of the first games to be revealed for the Wii. Each version of the game have different graphics, such as the DS's shell-shaded look, and the Wii's regular normal look.
[edit] Wii Version
For the Wii version, the graphics are like the console Tony Hawk games, you must use the controller in a classic style (NES style) and must tilt the controller. The game does not offer Wi-fi multiplayer but a 4-players splitscreen multiplayer and it's set for launch. Characters include Tony Hawk, and brand new characters to the series that aren't real players.
Confirmed Characters:
- Tony Hawk
- Ammon
- MacKenzie
- Kyla
- Gunnar
- Tiffany
- Jinx
- Crash
- Bud
[edit] DS Version
For the Nintendo DS version, the graphics are cel-shaded, racing against people around the world is confirmed (Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, with 3 other players), including voice chat (touch screen controls are not confirmed). Unlike the Wii version, which is being developed by Toys for Bob, the DS version is being developed by Vicarious Visions, whom also developed American Wasteland for the DS.
[edit] GBA Version
Info on the Game Boy Advance version is unknown, the graphics will most likely be in 2-D and it will most likely use simple controls for racing games.
