In Tony Hawk's Motion for the Nintendo DS, you choose from four locations (Burlington, Dubai, Zermatt and Tokyo) and complete 20 challenges by physically tilting the system. Although it's a novel approach to skateboarding video games, the busted controls, two hours of (very) limited gameplay and lack of licensed songs make Activision's extreme sports game destined for the bargain bin. Not even a bonus game, the paint-by-numbers Hue Pixel Painter, can save this mess. Avoid this Motion sickness at all costs.
G4TV's Sterling McGarvery Writes:
I still remember the Sunday afternoon in October 1999 when I caught a subway to a Blockbuster Video to rent Tony Hawk's Pro Skater based on a neighbor's recommendation. Little did I realize that it would spark a love affair that would start before the Birdman Bandwagon fired up and would last well beyond the point at which "Downhill Jam" wasn't just a spin-off, it was a pithy descriptor of the series.
GamePlanet tried hard to think of some genuinely positive comments to make about Tony Hawk's Motion, but came back empty. This crass marketing exercise is designed to milk more money from the Tony Hawk cow and should be avoided at all costs.
Team Teabag writes: "I've been a fan of the Tony Hawk series since his first incarnation on the Playstation and if you're looking for a walk down memory lane then this might very well be the game for you, and by that I mean that this also has the horrible fuzzy graphics of yesteryear."
