Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, or THDJ, is a video game released in 2006 and 2007 on the PS2 version. Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam is a spin-off in the Tony Hawk's series. The game was a launch title for Nintendo's Wii, and is also available for the Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and PlayStation 2. As a departure from Neversoft's Tony Hawk games, Downhill Jam emphasizes gaining speed and racing opponents, as well as competing for high scores and completing goals.The version of Downhill Jam for Wii was developed by Toys for Bob, developer of Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure and the game adaptation of Madagascar. The PS2 version was developed by SuperVillain Studios. As in older Tony Hawk’s games, there are game modes for high scores and completing goals, but a high-speed racing mode is also included. Tricks are used in part to reach secret and alternate routes, although revert and manual tricks are absent from the game. This formula is similar to that used in the SSX series of snowboarding games. There is a multiplayer mode with four players competing head-to-head in split screen. While online play was announced within early development, the final version of this game does not include online play.
