12. Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam

Wanna know something weird? Tony Hawk’s favorite levels in some of the older games are the crappy ones where you start at the top of a level and race down to the bottom. I don’t know why. They were never good. Anyway, someone decided to take these bad levels and make a game focused on only this type of gameplay. It also wasn’t good.

Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam was a launch game for the Wii, but to this day I’ve never met anyone who actually played it. Gameplay consisted of extremely fast downhill races in which players could do tricks and knock other skaters around with melee attacks…and yeah, okay, this is just an SSX clone. Which could have worked, but everything was bland and the skating was clunky, making it a chore to play.
