 well worth the price October 2, 2008
Granted I got this during a gold deal...but it is a great game even at regular price. Good graphics. It was a little tricky to master at first, as there are a number of special moves you have to do to get lots of points. However once you learn them it is fantastic. Highly recommended!

I bought this for my son, who is almost 7. The game says ages 10 and up, but he picked up on it right away. He loves it, and has been playing it ALOT since we got it. My 37 year old husband loves it nearly as much! There are even a few girl skaters to select, which I've played with. The graphics aren't as good as other game systems, I think that's the general for Wii overall. Wii makes up for it with the interaction you get in these games. This game is alot of fun! It's very realistic.

My 5-year old is obsessed with the Hawkman, and so this was one of our first games for the Wii. I was a bit nervous because I've found past Tony Hawk games tricky for me, let alone for him, to master.
Imagine my delight when we started playing this. It's just outright fun: the characters are funny, the maps are cool with lots of different paths and shortcuts, the music is pretty sweet, and the gameplay is downright addictive. And best of all, my son picked it up lickety split. Heck, it's taken months of playing it before I've managed to get half as good as him at the trick courses!
It's the simplicity of the controls that makes this a perfect game when you don't want to cramp your hands or brain trying to remember some convoluted button sequence to do JUST the right move in JUST the right place at JUST the right time. And the difficulty ramps up perfectly, opening up courses of increasing difficulty and length as you go.
I've read some lousy reviews of this from magazines and critics. Glad to see some real-world players giving this game the props it deserves. Bring on Downhill Jam 2!
Blaaaaaaaaaaaah! July 12, 2007

This is the first Tony Hawk game we have played so I cannot contrast it to past Tony Hawk - I simply compare it to other wii games and console games in general. THIS ROCKS! There just is nothing like playing a video game where you become a part of the game and your motions are the boards motions. This is not some silly game where twiddling a 1/3 inch joy stick has some significance. This is a riot! The races are fun and addictive. This is the fulfillment of the wii concept. We only have a few wii games so far - but this became an instant hit and we love playing it.
("Blaaaaaaaaah") is a quote from the characters being interviewed, when you cut off their inane chatter by hitting A.
