It doesnt have that great graphics....Because you need a component cable to make the graphics good retarts of america! Oh yeah if you imagined hard enough the controls are as if you are leaning on a skateboard. AND it is fun! DONT listen to the first review

Well I have been a fan
of the Tony Hawk series
pro skater 1 came out.
Downhill jam isn't as great
as I thought it would be.
It get's boring after the first 15 races and
it seems like you're just playing
the same race every time just on a new course.
This game was a BIG dissapointment

BEST tony hawk game since underground 1

I like some of the tony hawks but after underground 1 it went DOWNHILL. This is great for rainy days or nights when you can't go skateboarding(with out hurting yourself). Plus one of the new features is racing which is the only thing tony games needed to spice the action up, cause after playing most of them (other than underground 1) the got boreing after 10 mins to 30 minites of play

Awesome game!

I bought this for my son, who is almost 7. The game says ages 10 and up, but he picked up on it right away. He loves it, and has been playing it ALOT since we got it. My 37 year old husband loves it nearly as much! There are even a few girl skaters to select, which I've played with. The graphics aren't as good as other game systems, I think that's the general for Wii overall. Wii makes up for it with the interaction you get in these games. This game is alot of fun! It's very realistic.

Downhill. Didn't think they ment that literally.

I played this game for a few minutes. It seemed fun but you will quickly realize why it is being sold for around $30 (outside of retailers). Each race is about 1-2 minutes long which doesn't give much time to actually have fun.

Customizing your character consists of changing outfits and colors, not stats (speed, jump, balance, etc). This game honestly felt like a minigame. Perhaps fun for a little bit, but there is no real immersion into the game. All you do is race, unlock locations and race some more.

I would have given this game another star or 2 if the steering wasn't so harsh and if doing tricks was more than mashing buttons. To craigslist this goes...

Awesome game

Awesome game though the levels could have been a bit more difficult. But overall, very exciting, very enjoyable.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaah!

This is the first Tony Hawk game we have played so I cannot contrast it to past Tony Hawk - I simply compare it to other wii games and console games in general. THIS ROCKS! There just is nothing like playing a video game where you become a part of the game and your motions are the boards motions. This is not some silly game where twiddling a 1/3 inch joy stick has some significance. This is a riot! The races are fun and addictive. This is the fulfillment of the wii concept. We only have a few wii games so far - but this became an instant hit and we love playing it.

("Blaaaaaaaaah") is a quote from the characters being interviewed, when you cut off their inane chatter by hitting A.

Not a typical Tony Hawk

In my excitement for the Wii, I was less careful than I should have been. This is NOT a typical Tony Hawk game. It's a street race with an extremely limited selection of tricks and moves. I was expecting something much more akin to THPS/THUG. So I was very disappointed and it took me awhile to warm up to the game.

That said, it's not a bad racer. The controls take a bit of getting used to... especially if you're a THPS veteran. The levels have some decent variety and there are some very good ones, but many of them are quite bland. In racing games of this type, you get used to neat little short-cuts or even longer routes that are off the normal path, and you'll find those here, but they're very sparse (either that or extremely well hidden).

The graphics also lag behind other Wii titles like Excite Truck (a far better fantasy racing game). If you just HAVE to have a Tony Hawk game, then you probably already got this, but normal fans of either the Tony Hawk series or the Racing genre will find better options elsewhere.

First game for the Wii that I've regretted buying

I decided to buy the game based on the very positive reviews I read here, and now I'm starting to wonder if Activision is seeding reviews. I can understand how it's possible for folks to have different opinions about some titles, but really, this game is just horrible on every level.

The graphics are poor, and that's in comparison to other initial Wii-released games. The use of the Wii controller is unimaginative. And the gameplay just stinks. To top off a lousy game, the cut scene quips between races are so insipid that I can't help but feel a little offended that any game developer would think that I--or anyone else--would actually be amused by the junk.
