Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam given spring PS2 release

Activision's new Tony Hawk spin-off, Downhill Jam, will be released for PS2 in the spring complete with new content.

Downhill Jam first appeared on the Wii back at the console's launch and soon the game will be available for PlayStation 2. Activision has today confirmed the spring release of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, complete with a host of new content not found in the Wii game.

The game will retain the non-stop action of the Wii game, but will include four new single-player events, three new multiplayer modes and three new playable characters.

Being a PlayStation 2 game you'll also be playing with traditional analogue sticks rather than the Wii-mote, so it should make it a pretty different experience.
