A good game for awhile but gets old after awhile and you will get sick of it quick.
User Rating: 5.8 | Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam WII
Well we have a Tony Hawk game on the Wii. We are here to talk about Tony Hawks Down Hill Jam. Now this game adds a few new things to the Tony Hawk series that seem that would make the series better but they really don't. Besides a few good pre-race gags and some fun gameplay this is not an excellent game that anyone would want to play. This game has quite a few problems that really hold the game back from being good. Now the gameplay in Down Hill Jam is ok but has some problems. The controls in the game are ok. You hold the Wii remote side ways and you turn it right and left to make turns. You use the arrow buttons to punch and kick your fellow racers of their boards. You do tricks by pressing the one and two buttons and you also turn the remote to do spin tricks. Now you may think this sounds like a good control set up but it isn't. The trick system is too simple and gets old after awhile. When you respone by shacking the remote you feel like the developers could have made this a little more creative. Their are only a few mission types. Some of these are kind of dumb like you have to destroy a certain amount of objects and rack up the replacement cost. You have to nock down a certain number of people before you finish the level and there are som other mission types. The biggest gameplay problem for the game is that the tracks in the races and the missions are just to short. The gameplay in this game is just underacheving and really could have been better. The graphics in the game are just really not that good. The characters in the game are not the good looking and could have looked better. The alternate costumes don't look that good and don't have that much detail. The best graphics in this game come from the track design. The developers in the for the game put quiet a bit of detail into the track design and they all look ok. You will not be overwhelmed by the design in the game and you will think they could have had a bit more detail. The graphics in the game start to look sloppy when you start to get really fast. The graphics start looking a messhed up and just look a mess. Over all the graphics in this game are just kind of bad and sometimes look ugly. The sound in Down Hill Jam is ok. You will recognize some of the rock songs in the game. They have some really songs in the game but also some bad songs. You will like the music in the races because they kind of set the mode for the races because the races are supposed to be hard core and the music is hard core. Now I did say that there are some bad songs. These songs kind of put down the hard core racing scene and really just make the music worst. The music gets repetitive and just gets really old after awhile. Over all the music is just ok. Over all this is a mediocre racing game that is just a SSX on skate boards and really just doesn't have the quality that those games have. This is a game maybe only the hard core Tony Hawk fan can enjoy and is just a under achiving game that could have been so much better and sould be at the bottom of the games that you should want to get for your Wii.
