Tony Hawks Downhill Jam – gameplay video

Tony Hawks Downhill Jam on the Wii. I've played all of the Tony Hawks games bar the last one. They have been getting more and more tired and less and less interesting to me. I wasn't interested in Downhill Jam... until I saw this video. It looks like great fun, made considerably better because of the unique Wii controller.

I also like the new character designs and styling that's going on. Traditionally the Tony Hawk's games have been quite realistic in style but this one seems to be a little more Anime with the characters appearing to have a touch of SSX about them. It all adds up to a nice change of direction for a series that was getting rather stale.
