Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam DS: the rock and rolling trailer

Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam is one of those titles out to prove that the DS can rock and roll as hard as any other handheld. The game features Tony Hawk, the best thing that ever happened to skateboarding. In Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, gamers compete in a downhill competition at sonic speeds.

Breaking the sound barrier is just part of it. There’s also performing tricks and outmaneuvering opponents in six locations around the world from the familiar (San Francisco) to Machu Picchu and Rio de Janeiro in South America all the way to Kilimanjaro in Africa. Players compete in time-based challenges in one of three gameplay modes: race, trick, and slalom. Adding aural thrill to the visual action is the all-out heavy metal rock soundtrack top billed by Iron Maiden.

Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam from Activision (now available for US$49.99) could be the adrenaline rush you’ve been waiting for. The game will also be seen on Wii later this year.
