Tony Hawk with tilt controls on DS

By Tom Bramwell Published 11 September, 2008

Two-game package with new puzzler.

Activision Blizzard has outlined its upcoming Tony Hawk DS title, revealing that it's actually a pair of different games in a single package, both of which make use of a built-in accelerometer.

Tony Hawk's Motion and Hue Pixel Painter, due out in November, will allow Hawk fans to control their hero by twisting, tilting and turning the actual handheld as they navigate Tokyo, Dubai, Vermont and other locations, completing "more than 20" mini-challenges including Rail Hopper and Slalom.

There's also an Alps location, where players will be able to snowboard for the first time in the Tony Hawk series with the assistance of pro snowboarder Todd Richards.

Once they're done with Tony and Todd, players can then check out Hue Pixel Painter, an "action-orientated puzzler" where Hue needs to be tilted through upwards of ten levels collecting colour and avoiding the evil Drabs.

Both games will be scored by DJ/mixer J Period and, as far as we can make out, come on a single cart. Check out our Tony Hawk's Motion / Hue Pixel Painter gallery for a mixture of screenshots.

    This sounds bizarre. Some paint program with Tony Hawk?

    The screen shots also have snowboarding in them?!

    So is the accelerometer going to be in the game card, or a plug-in for the GBA slot?

    Hopefully it it'll be designed better than the one in Wario Ware Twisted. Perhaps that'll come out one day...

    the screenies look awful.
    Presumably the painter is included so you can finish the job for the art team?
