Accelerometer technology is all the rage these days thanks to the Wii. If you can't tilt, shake and waggle what's the point, right? Activision knows this and have just announced Tony Hawk Motion/Hue Pixel Painter for the Nintendo DS which will use their brand new, highly rumored Motion Pack accessory to control both games. Yes, it's the old two games for the price of one deal, except usually the two games have something to do with each other whereas these two game's only common feature is the fact that the controls are all based on the motion sensor.
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."
