Tony Hawk's: Downhill Jam/DS/ ***--/ 3/5

Ok, to start this one off, i love tony hawk's games, but when you put it on a "Nintendo DS" and take the realistic graphics away from the console versions of Tony Hawk's games, you get "Downhill Jam". I know that Graphics on DS games aren't as great as the consoles games, but it seemed like they could of done better. This game has it highs and its lows, one of the highs would be that you can create your charicter and each location has fun and cahlenging chalenges, one of the lows would be that its too easy and when you create your board the touch screen is a little too touchy and you get confused. if you've ever played previeous Tony Hawk games, you should know that every level is a free roaming land and you have to find challenges and work your way to the end of the game, in "Downhill Jam", each level is a dowhill race, and you choose the challenges on a menu before you enter the level, so you have to play the level per each challenge.there are 6 worlds, they are, in order, San Francisco, Edinburgh, Kilimanjaro, Hong Kong, Rio, and the hoover dam. the levels are fun, but the game gets boring after a while. there are a number of super tricks for each trick, manual, air and so on. you activate them by touching 1 of three symbols on the bottom screen, all together, i give this game a 3/5, beacause it gets boring after a while. look out for my next review.
