Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam - hands-on

Up to four players ꦡcan hit the concrete slopes together, though it'll all be split-screen action - no online multiplayer to speak of just yet, which isn't really all that surprisi♐ng - so far, none of the Wii launch titles are sporting any kind on internet support.

It may be a complete departure from the mainline series, but Jam looks like it could easily fit in Wii's easy-to-play lifestyle. Little touches like shaking the remote to get back on your board instill memories of banging on the buttons to have your Excitebike r🎐ider trot hꦯis way back to his motorcycle - a classic moment that could easily be the most recent video game memory some people have.
