Motion-controlled Tony Hawk's DS revealed

3 Comments

Activision has revealed a brand new Tony Hawk's game for DS, titled Tony Hawk's Motion, which will use accelerometers (like the ones in the Wii Remote) for control on DS.

Using these motion sensors, you will be able to tilt the console to steer your skater and pull of sticks as you race around rail-filled skate courses.

And for the first time Hawk will leave the tarmac and take it to the snow in snowboarding events, which adds to "more than 20 diverse mini-challenges available" in the game, including Rail Hopper, Slalom, Hawk-Man and High Score.

Bizarrely, THM comes as part of a two-game package, the other title called Hue Pixel Painter.

As Activision describes: "Uncovering sources of paint below the ground's surface, players take Hue through various landscapes bringing colour back to a dreary environment and defending against the Drabs who have set out to leave the world gray and bland."

We're unsure of logic behind the bundle, but you get two games for one, so you can't complain.

First shots of both games are below.
