Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam video

1. Wow. I may actually try that game out now. Could be fun.

2. I agree. That video has me excited

3. I'm hoping this game will be online on the Wii

4. Interesting. Thanks for that guys!You what else would be cool – SUPER MARIO BOARD!!!.Race down ghost valley (wooden slats), donut plains (grass), choco island (mud), Vanilla lake (ice/snow), and Bowser Castle (stone) with the signature Mario theme and power-ups!!You know it makes sense! :o)

5. Looks pretty cool. I'll definitely be checking it out. I hope they also include more pros to choose from. I'm not all that keen about original characters for these sorts of games.

6. This just seems like snowboarding without the snow.Yikes, even the character select screen looks just like SSX3.

7. Exactly what MisterInvisible said. It looks like an SSX game with Skateboards. Yeah, it uses the Wii-mote pretty well, but it's nothing really cool gameplay-wise.

8. is it me or did it seem like he was also using his index fingers to hit buttons on the side of the wiimote?

9. I was thinking the same thing about the buttons on the side of the wii-mote (a word I am starting to dislike almost as much as blog-o-sphere). It looked like he was hitting something there, but noone has mentioned any buttons there from playtesting at e3 and comic-con.The gameplay wasn't exactly spectacular, imho, but the thing that strikes me as different about the Wii games is that you can't get as good of a feeling for how fun they are from watching someone else play. I mean, you never get a complete feel without trying the game yourself, but the Wii's set apart even more because the interactivity seems to be half the fun!

10. I was already impressed by Activision's take on Tony Hawk's American Sk8land for the DS… This video puts their Downhill Jam almost to the top of my Wii titles list!I like how Activision is embracing the new controls…

11. Did the controls change? I remember in earlier videos they held the controller vertically instead of horizontally as in the video.Maybe a few developers are changing the style…? Oh and hopefully this game will also suppost the Classic controller. Not that I don't like these new controls, its just a nice alternative.

12. Not impressed, the response from shaking man's hands to the screen looked digital and only used for left and right. And was there a cord on the Wii-mote… maybe that's just part of the dev package or something… or a security cord (I won't trust Activision either ;).

13. It's Tricky! It's Tricky! Oh, wait, its not THAT game…

14. I guess this would explain the purple button that was spoted on the side of the Remote in Nintendo Power E3 issue.Looks like the Remote has buttons on the side to act like L1 and R1 when your palying with the remote horizontally.I guess this is what they meant that they were stil lfiguring out how many buttons the remote would have(More or less)Seeing that Activision is saying "more" it looks like we are going to have more.
