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.

Not only taking full advantage of Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connect service, the single-player and local multiplayer experience in the title were also excellent. Now, we receive the game's successor in Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam.

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.

Among that bomb, other Sk8land community features in the final game include:
  • 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:

  • Fully customizable RGB color scale - use any colors you want!
  • 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
