Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam: New Video
Developer demo of Wii's skateboard outing.
Tony Hawk, which has generated $1bn in sales, has been built from the ground up for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - but it's also coming to the Wii, in a unique edition called Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. It's a downhill skateboard racing game from the developers who worked on Madagascar, and you can get a closer look at it in this developer demonstration video.
The controller acts as a tilt-sensing sort of steering wheel, with a sudden shake of the controller to 'boost' forwards. By tilting the Wii controller the player balance their grind. Players can also tilt the Wii controller to change the direction coming off of sticker slap, and to clear large obstacles, players can move the Wii controller forward to boost off of jumps -- the Wii controller allows precision turning for avoiding obstacles.
Stay tuned for more on Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam.
