    Jam may lack the luster and polish of the Wii launch title, but this is a game that does a good job fitting the graphics and sound to play style and provides a nice range of game modes.

    On Wii, Downhill Jam was a great party game. On the PS2, it’s more like "SSX"-Lite. The game is still fun but if you have a choice get the undoubtedly superior Wii version.

    To my shock and confusion, I really liked the game. Why? Because I stopped thinking that I was supposed to be playing “a Tony Hawk game” and started realizing that I was playing a fun arcade racer that happens to have Tony’s name on the box.

    Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam could have been an interesting take on the THPS formula and a cool combination of Tony Hawk and SSX gameplay, but instead it's a poorly conceived and designed mess.

    Downhill Jam simply does not work on a number of levels. It's entirely too easy, there are presentation problems, its racing and trick mix doesn't let either stand out and so on.

    The anti-Hawk. It lacks excitement, it's shy of thrills, and it really isn't worth bothering with at all. [Sept 2007, p.108]

    Não é um jogo completamente "Tony Hawk" como seus antecessores que focavam mais em fazer manobras em mapas de curta escala, entretantoNão é um jogo completamente "Tony Hawk" como seus antecessores que focavam mais em fazer manobras em mapas de curta escala, entretanto analisando somente o jogo é muito divertido tem bons gráficos uma boa jogabilidade (dentro do possivel), além de uma vasta gama de personagens e você ainda pode criar o seu próprio como nos jogos anteriores.
    No geral o jogo é mais focado em corridas, mas há muitos modos para se divertir além claro do multiplayer local que possibilita você também jogar qualquer modo com seu amigo, o jogo contém mapas divertidos e com uma boa atmosfera, as musicas também são um elemento importante do jogo e seguem o padrão dos jogos anteriores misturando musicas de hip hop, punk e rock.    … Expand
