DS Fanboy Review: Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (GBA)

Just about everyone has heard of Tony Hawk. Whether you're a fan of skateboarding or gaming, the man has made an impact, often considered equal, in both cultures.

With the latest online feature revealed, we're anxious to get our hands on Tony's latest outing on the DS. As such, IGN's newest trailer up at their site only further aids our maniacal desire for what is sure to be a rail-grinding, kickflip-busting good time. The trailer comes in at 1:39, but we assure you the length is chock full of good gameplay footage.

Go check it out already!

Downhill Jam screens

Confirmed: Downhill Jam to feature in-game voice chat

That's right, you read the headline correctly. In an e-mail that was sent out to Sk8land community members describing the game's final features, it's revealed that the title will feature in-game voice chat, something sorely missed from a certain game featuring a female bounty hunters and energy-absorbing life forms.

  • 50 graffiti and skate decks drawn by SK8Land's best community artists have been included in every copy of Downhill Jam for Nintendo DS!
  • Community Moderator AgoraKenny worked with Vicarious Visions as a Designer on Downhill Jam DS
Some of the game's other features include:

  • Zoom in for pixel perfect precision
  • Upload your art and share it on the Downhill Jam Community Site
  • 4 player Head to Head over Nintendo Wi-Fi
