Tony Hawk: Downhill Jam is an extreme sports game released for the Nintendo Wii, categorized under the racing and sports genres. Unlike traditional Tony Hawk games, Downhill Jam shifts the focus from complex tricks to high-speed downhill races across steep inclines and urban environments. Players take control of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk or customize their own skater, competing in races while performing stunts to gain speed boosts. Boasting intuitive motion controls thanks to the Wii Remote, the game combines the thrill of skateboarding with adrenaline-pumping racing action.
